Hi everyone,
I have an idea to create own online shop where I want to sell different collectable goods, handmake objects and some other vintage items.
I like selling and I've done some sales via ebay. But I disike ebay fees. So, I need in own site for my online store.
However I have no money to purchase a site has gotten the good traffic. I can real spend 100 USD to buy a domain name, a hosting.
I'll be able to spend 4-6 hours to promote my site every day.
A few things I'd like to clear for myself.
Is this not a bad idea use a service from Yahoo for my site? Will people trust this? I'm not sure, if people buy anything from small personal online shop. Can you give me any advices?
Also possible, somebody is interested in making business with me.

Hi gene78

I recommend you to use some kind of shopping card for it.
Check this out
CMS Ratings - OpenSourceCMS
In the middle of the list there is E-Commerce. That is the stuff you need brother!

You can try each one of them, and they are all free. Most of them have an option to bind paypal to them, or smth else. You are going to have to spend time learning the system, but once you are familiar with it, it's a gift from god :-D

Greetzzz

I don't know if this might be of help to you...
... but you can try to visit the last two links of my signature. It's an online store for FREE. I think premium allows you to sell your own stuff... but i'm not really sure. Just try it out.

I have used Zencart, OsCommerce and for very lightweight ecommerce for friends, Cubecart. I like Zencart the most as of now.
