    I am also a very new member and still learning the ropes but I found out from Salehoo that eCrater is a great tool and basically they give you all the tools needed to setup your own site and host it and even when you list your items they are for sale on the ecrater marketplace all for FREE. They also have a partnership with google so they you can integrate your shopping cart with them. I am not sure how much of an advanced website your looking for but ecrater is I guess less pretty of a site than amazon or one of the big dog websites but its very professional and you can just do a lot with it. Hope this helps!

    I use Bonanzle Booth. its free and you can upload your items to Google base.
    I also use ecrater but don't get as much traffic as bonanzle.

    If you want something custom built you can PM singapore, he is doing a lot of that work at the moment.

    Power sellers union are also offering free shops for their betta testing phase.

    New to Ecommerce. Please Help!!

    Posted 9 Jul 09 1:24 am.

    Hi all, this is all new to me and can be quite confusing with so much information avaliable. I would like to open an ecommerce store but not quite sure which is the best company to sign up with for a ready built store.

    I am aware, I can access suppliers from Salehoo but my main concern is the ready built estore. So who should I sign up with?

    Also how can I receive payments for my goods, as paypal does not allow me to receive payments from my country(Trinidad, West Indies). Is there another way for me to receive payments ? Thanks in advance for your advice
