              I'm starting with only 4-5, but I need the system to look enterprise level. I'm also going to use at least two processors.

              What's your paypal sol'n? I might use it for my ebay sales

                      Paypal has a built-in shopping cart system.

                        oscommerce is fine if u want to set one shop up... but if u want to set up lots of shops with different designs its a pain in the ass... design elements are stored in lots of different places and lacks any real template support

                        after doing a few shops all i can say is oscommerce sucks... i havent found an alternative OS shop at the moment... rather use my own custom code and build on that

                            There's a few mods around that makes templates in oscommerce pretty simple.
                            Ignorance is never bliss.

                                BTS (basic template structure) seems to be the best mod for that. Makes giving the site a totally unique look a breeze. It only becomes a bit of a pain in the ass when you also add a shit load of other mods like the affiliate mod etc simply because you have to manually change the look of each new mod page (hope that makes sense).

                                However, once you have one running smoothly I generally find I can knock up another unique looking site with an empty cart in about 2 hours, once I've designed a template and graphics to work with. Just a matter of copying everything across and changing a few bits here and there
                                Ignorance is never bliss.
