    Question totally RE unrelated - E commercy Shopping Cart Solutions - Suggestions?

    Sorry for the totally unrelated real estate post.

    I'm looking to build an e-commerce site and was wondering if any of you have any recommendations as to who to use or who to stay away from.

    I could build my own but it would take six months. I'm just looking for a nice pre-packaged SEO friendly solution.

    Any suggestions?

    Wordpress has ecommerce plugins that you can put in.

    That provides you a cheap, and fairly friendly site out of the box pretty quickly.

    I used to use http://www.oscommerce.com when I built drop ship or sites I needed fast launch shopping cart sites etc - it's open source but still requires programming etc

    6 months? Anyone you hire will that long to generally (although they will tell you 2 weeks to get your $)

    Looking into shopify . com and foxycart .com

    I'm not the greatest SEO agent in the world but I'm pretty good. I'd kick myself in the rear if I went through my whole web career without building at least one on-line store to see how well I could get it ranking.

    x-cart has a good easy to use out of the box package with a lot of available options. Since you will be taking credit card numbers there is a lot of security to do so read the forum and dot your i's.

    Here's an even dumber question. What to sell?

    I need a product that a lot of people want and search for without a ton of competition. I don't want to hold much inventory and I'd prefer not to have to ship it myself. I'd also like to make a minimum of $3000 a month to make this experiment/hobby worth my time.

    Is that asking too much
