Micropayment for the masses? Not only are businesses making the move to pay-for-use models on the internet, it is now possible for mere individuals to use micropayment services to sell their own content online. Vtechmedia.com is offering a service to anyone with content who wants to try their hand at managing an online marketplace where content can be uploaded, bought and sold for dimes, quarters and dollars. The system handles all the accounting, credit card, etc.

Currently, there are several writers and small publishers using the system. Topics include children's education, color comics and some clip art.
