    Retail/Wholesale Dilemma w/ Yahoo Small Business

    I need to have a wholesale/retail ecommerce store. I have an ecommerce store through Yahoo Small Business--and I've geared it toward wholesale. The problem is that now I need one for retail, but the store name is associated with the wholesale store, and apparently I can't change it.

    For instance, I bought two domains (i.e.): www mystuff com -- and initially started the yahoo store with this.

    Then, realizing that Y! doesn't have a custom account option for wholesalers to purchase at a different price, I bought a domain (i.e.) www mystuffwholesale com. But now the yahoo store won't let me switch my domain to the second one--they say it has to be affiliated with the first.

    So mystuff com = the wholesale store = no public access; and I'm not sure what to do about a retail store except choose a new business name, incorporate it under the original as a DBA, and then include the products in a new store?

    Any other ideas?

    Really all I want is to be able to sell wholesale and retail. I don't have up front cash to hire a web builder, and need something fairly straight forward.

    Help?

    If you already run a wholesale operation with Yahoo SB.... could you maybe open your retail store using another service or possibly have a site designed for it? This isn't my business model so this is more of a question then it is advice.
