Setting up your own eCommerce site

I stumbled across this useful article from ArsTechnica on how to build your own eCommerce site as an alternative for users wanting to avoid eBay. The process of building your own site for selling products may seem daunting at first, but by following this simple tutorial by Ars (which makes use of the PayPal system), you can create your own custom eCommerce site with relative ease and not that much pre-know-how.

But making your own e-commerce site is a huge pain and easy to screw up, isn't it? Well, yes and no. To build an entire system from the ground up might require more time and resources than you currently have, but you can easily fake it by creating a site to hawk your wares and by using PayPal as a payment processing back-end—and your buyers don't even have to have a PayPal account to buy from you. Here's a simple tutorial for setting up your own site to sell stuff with the help of PayPal.
