Anyone know how to set up a store online?

Does anyone know where I could get a webshop (a la Highspots) set up? I don't need bells and whistles, but something basic (like a template I could edit/upload). Any response will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Here's a video tutorial if you're interested in opening one up.

 

I know that's not exactly what you were thinking of, but you can choose to simply sell something at a set price instead of holding an auction, and you can set a quantity of items so customers see how much you have available.

 

I can see some important positives to it, though. Almost every computer-savvy person in North America has created an eBay/PayPal account for use at one time or another, you don't have to deal with the nervous buyer asking about whether his credit information is safe with your store.

 

Also, you'll have a reputation rating that proves you're reliable, which is always a hurdle for small internet business. People tend to err on the side that the more unknown the company, the higher the chances that their money will be taken and they'll get a box full of sand.
