    Why don't you try giving amazon.com a try...

    Or just search any Search Engine for "ecommerce stores"

    why do not you try drop shipping business in a way? maybe you can do it. You sell and manage your customers, while the dropshipping just send the stuff.
    Sorry if I'm wrong.

    I think you need to think carefully about your approach. Starting an online store is not easy unless you have the right contacts with suppliers and the right product selection in place.

    Check out a script called Shopperpress. Sounds like just what you're looking for. You can sell your own products and mix in ones from Amazon.

    If you would like to run a store you will need

    1. an ecommerce store. there are plenty of good stores like Zen-Cart, osCommerce, and magneto. find one you are comfortable with. i have had great experience with zen-cart
    2. Find a wholesale supplier or dropshipper. a source for drop shippers depends on what kind of product. try dhgate.com for cheap chinese products; they have about everything to choose from
    3. make sure you are following pci compliance guidelines and the local laws of your area.

    any other questions, i would be glad to help you

    Check affiliate marketing. This is the whole process of using links to redirect to products as the middle man. I have heard of people making mega-bucks using this method of online entrepreneurship, but it is pretty risky if you don't know what you are doing.

    Just remember you may need a paypal account to start your store. But not always, as my affiliate store, which is for adult toys and novelties allows people to get their checks mailed to their home.

    A good thing my friend does is base it on Wordpress then add your PayPal links

    Plus the search engines love Wordpress.
