    Ecommerce – Web Shop – Platform – But which one?

    Scott.. although I don't disagree with your thoughts on Magento.. there's nothing wrong with wp-ecommerce. I have it in use with one of my stores flawlessly and without all the overhead that a fully fledged store app produces. Those 'issues' are quite old btw..

    Ecommerce – Web Shop – Platform – But which one?

    Call me old fashioned but I still like CRE Loaded. Next option would be prestashop but I hate the fact you have to pay for every add-on. You might want to take a look at the quantity of inventory you are planning to sell - and if its just a handful go for something much lighter like...

    Where did you start your eCommerce from?

    ah.. you mean dropshippers. by efulfiment I was talking about literally that - so the niche is irrelevant. its just size and weight that matters to them - but you still have to buy the stock. So if you haven't got supplier sources... excuse me asking but - have you checked there is a market...

    Advice on E-Commerce site

    John - little tip for you... It looks like your primary keyword is "discounted designer perfumes" according to your title. I suggest putting that at the front of your title, and remove your site name (as its at the end anyway) That will gain you a few extra places alone.
