I'm a EBay selling and am doing quite while but want to cut out the middleman (those high FVF's) and want to go on my own. I have looked for a shopping cart solution as well as a content management system. My web page will mostly just have things like articles on the industry I sell in, reviews of products, etc. and I am very happy with Joomla for that part of my business.
As for shopping cart, I have heard there is one that integrates with Joomla well but the problem is I'm so busy selling I haven't had time to work on my web site and I know I need to move on so I want something quick short term. I am thinking of a joomla based web site that links to a yahoo shopping cart. It seems their fee is $50 or so a month for a medium solution. I'm not sure if it feeds into google/froogle/google base. Their fees are just 1.5% which I like. It just seems I could get a basic site up with joomla and with time expand and quickly throw a yahoo shopping cart up to have something going in a few weeks at the most. With time maybe I'd go to another shopping cart solution or may find that Yahoo works best. I'm just looking for opinions on this.
