online shopping sales statistics
I want to open an online store with handcrafted items. What advice can anyone give me? Esp. on these Issues:?

(btw I am somewhat familiar with html coding)

What can you tell me about:

A shopping cart system (I don’t want to pay someone thousands to set this up I heard the people at threadless coded their own am I crazy to consider this?),
Yahoo geocities hosting,
Security
Inventory (software? or setup, etc) (I want my site to show how many of a certain item is left and say sold out, back ordered, and email customers when an item is back in stock, etc & also to have a way to view stock myself)
wishlist and user accounts, tell a friend
payment (how to accept credit cards other than paypal, etc)
statistics (analysis) performance, etc
Health Insurance
Business/sales/etc Licenses

any other (good) advice is appreciated

I want something (sort of) like The glitter workshop’s online Store
or Fred Flare (only smaller)

If you hire a website designer to create your website, it will be very pricey. May I suggest that you get your own Domain name through www.GoDaddy.com (under $10 each name per year) and than use www.LowPriceBuilder.com to create your web site.

I use http://www.LowPriceBuilder.com for few years. They only charge flat price, ($15 per month) ,and include Web hosting, Shopping Cart system, 30 more functions….. etc. This would be the most inexpensive way to have your e-commerce web site to go online. The builder allows you to create your web page easily without knowledge of coding or programming language.
