First of all, I am very happy to introduce my website www.absintheskiss.com
I would appreciate constructive feedback as to what is good and what it is you feel may be missing, or will want to see.
The second thing is that I have ALOT of fabric that I can make into unique items that I would like to put in a shop that is linked to the website. The Ebay shop isn't doing suitable for the more expensive items due to the charges.
I have been looking at open source shopping carts/catologues and there seems to be three main contenders - OSCommerce, zen-cart and open cart. I am a complete beginner in things web related but will need to learn to update and stock the shop myself when I have made another fab cloak etc, without asking the husband to do it.
Have any of you used any of these? If so how easy was it to use and add to your site? Or do you have any other recommendations? I want to be able to change the colours, and have a 'holiday mode' when I'm off trading at events. I will be using Paypal as the payment method.
Thanks, Debbie.

If you're happy to use their default layouts, the three e-commerce systems you've listed are all fairly easy to use. OS-commerce is probably easiest but it's worth trying out the demos that they have available. http://opensourcecms.com/ offers some demos of others in the ecommerce section.
Alternatively, you could install Wordpress and use the eShop plugin. Easy to do and there's great support available. Plus there are loads of templates available for making it look how you want. It's far simpler than the e-commerce systems and so has less features but would likely be easier to get to grips with.
