Sorry - free site on a free domain = unprofessional
Whats happens when it takes off ? you dont have your own domain so your marketing is all going to weebly, hat happens if they go bust you will lose everything.

seo is pretty much none existant.
the problem being the software, but there are things you can do regarding the meta data, keywords and description etc.
Because the site runs within a frame, there's nothing that a search engine can read so the site content is sort of null and void.
The software is pants, I'd suggest getting some decent hosting and finding a good open source software. You could use a wordpress to create a site exactly the same as yours, the difference being some decent, search engine friendly software.
You'll find it quite difficult to get your site to show up in search results unless you build the site on a decent script like wordpress, joomla, zen cart, prestashop etc,

there are plenty of demo sites around for most of the open source carts and CMS
have a look around and see if you can find software that you like (zen cart and prestashop would be a good place to start, or wordpress)
All you need is a hosting account, most have auto install functions (fantastico or softalicous) with most of the open source carts and CMS ready to install, a matter of one click and the software is installed.

Jaime are you in the UK?? Just wondered why your jewellery is all priced in $'s? If I came across your site I wouldnt order anything because it is priced in $'s. Hope you dont mind me mentioning this! |

Stick to a single currency and let Paypal worry about the conversion, the yanks though can be a little anal about buying in another currency than dollars dont know what it is but they seem to hate having to do a conversion so stick up a currency converter on the site |

you could add a wee script that checks the ip address and sets the currency relative to where the ip resolves to.
Wont work on all ip addresses though, but it would be better than displaying everything in dollars

You do it in your PayPal account.
Open your PP account, click on Profile.
Where it says PayPal balance, to the right it has a link.. Currencies, click and then you can see the Add Currency dropdown.
Select the currencies that you require.
