I%26#039;ve built my own out of open source products. If you so desire, check out http://www.oscommerce.com





Building your own requires time and knowledge for sure.





I also have an eBay store. It%26#039;s not too expensive (around $16) a month for the storefront and only a dime to list each item for a month. Adding other features will cost you more. My listing fee (for the store inventory) is only 13 cents per item per month. To list the item as an auction, however, runs me around $2 for 10 days.





This may/may not be something you want to consider, but thought I%26#039;d toss it out.





You can check out my eBay store at:
