    Hi,

    Does anyone know what the best platform/software I could use to build a website similar to shopmyclothes.com?

    It's going to be a site where people can sell/buy upmarket clothes - not just the usual stuff on ebay etc. We are going to charge people a small upfront fee to sell. But what is the best platform I can use so lots of different users can create an account, add images/details of their products, get charged a small upfront fee for putting their item on website & be able to enter their bank details so they can they get paid when someone purchases their item...

    Thanks in advance :)

    1. If you are planning to buy a ecommerce script, then AJ Shopping Cart Software ,will be the right choice with plenty of user friendly facilities.

    2. If you worry about hosting issue, you can get Zscart - SaaS Ecommerce solution with easy monthly payment option and free trial too. you can make your shop with in five minutes.

    3. If you are looking for free source means, Zeuscart will be right choice. Highly downloaded open source script online.

    Hi Joel,

    Many thanks for your reply :) Will Zeuscart allow multiple users to register on the site and add their product & bank details to then be paid when their item has been purchased by a user on the website?

    Hello sugar_1ce,

    Interesting idea. There are quite a few top trending platforms this year that you may find useful. PR NewsWire recently announced a platform using Cloud Technology called CloudCraze. You might wish to look into it. According to the press release, "Customers now have a simple and comprehensive way to monetize engagement by leveraging the power of social, mobile and open cloud technologies. With this new agreement, CloudCraze can now offer existing and prospective customers of both companies a one-stop shop for leading cloud-based enterprise eCommerce.
    PR Newswire (http://s.tt/1n9Aj)". Business2community has chosen three top e-commerce platforms for 2012- Magento, Zen Cart, and VirtueMart. Magento comes in at the number one choice. "Magento is at the top of every online retailer’s wish list, when looking at ecommerce platforms. They are by far the most popular choice of ecommerce software platforms, and currently the most rapidly growing software for online stores over the past six months, with a phenomenal growth record of over 20%."

    Hope you find this information helpful,

    Shawn
