Hi Howard,
I know you didn't ask for critique, but there's one picture on your
original Website which I think would benefit immensely from a crop:
DSCN7153.jpg in the "Various July Photographs." Remove the hand and
styrofoam box on the right side and you have a winner.
On the photobox site the photo of The Shipwrights Arms is labeled as
"Eastbourne + Pier." Details...
Is there some way to link from your site to photobox? Perhaps with a
"Buy a Print" link or something like that. The photobox site is rather
ugly in terms of design and detracts from the photography. Also, I'm
not familiar with English copyright law, but I see no notice of
copyright or terms of use (except for a mention that the photographer
retains copyright, buried in the Acceptable Use Policy link, which is
in turn on a separate page of Prices and Terms...) for buyers of your
photographs. Photobox seems better suited for selling to friends and
family than anything else.
Good luck with the venture.

I've also set up a "Professional" gallery with an ntlworld.com
promotion called photobox. I can put there images for sale, and
photobox will do all the spade work for a commission. They provide
upto 200 MB free space together with other more highly priced
services. It's still rather small, but try
