Hi,
I'm new to all of this and have been trying to find and set up an ecommerce site for my products.
I've not had much success as of yet and time is wasting. I'm looking for an easy DIY online store.
I'd greatly appreciate all the help I can get.
Thank you.

There is a small listing fee (.2/item I think) plus a small percentage of sales but you don't have to invest in building a website, putting together shopping carts or have to worry about your store's security. Plus Etsy provides constant, free support to small businesses in the form of chats, videos, newsletter, blogs and more. Check them out :)

Phyllis,
We just launched La Mia Bella and after much searching found Magento Go. They have a stimulus program and if you qualify (I think everyone qualifies) it's FREE for 12 months, otherwise the basic is $15.00/mo. You can try it free for 30 days. We really like it.

Phyllis,
If you have any questions about Etsy, I'd be glad to try and help. Big Cartel is another option as well.
