Alright, so I buy and sell a lot of things on the internet. It's how I make my money, but right now my system is terrible. I buy on ebay and forums and usually sell it on amazon. I make good money doing it but fees kill me. I also could get a better audience if I have my own site.
I started looking into ecommerce sites and I have heard a couple things. One of my buddies does a lot with making websites but he hasn't really doing ecomm sites. He did point me to something. He recommended using wordpress for the site and then this for the ecomm part.... (Wordpress ecommerce and member management plugin | Cart66) Has anyone tried this before or heard about it?
Before I talked to me friend, what I was planning on doing was buying a template and then having someone modify it. This is what I read from old threads on here. If I have someone make it, what do I need to know/do to maintain and run it afterwards?
Also, what are the costs to have someone build one? I'm sure they can get quite expensive but I would just be looking for a nice simple website to sell on. (I buy and sell used, sometimes new items. Almost like a pawn shop type operation)
Any help is appreciated, I have been trying to research as much as I can but it can get confusing sometimes.
Sparknotes: Need to make ecomm site to sell new/used things I buy. No more than around 50 sku's. I'm not the best programmer but can learn. I would rather just have easier to manage so I can focus on products more.
