    yes you can but i would advise u to take the .com instead.
    If you develop your .info domain n u have a lot of traffic..the traffic will leak to the .com so register the .com if possible.

    You could...and yes, you could be successful with a .info.
    But as pointed out above, for a very serious venture, you should consider a .com.
    Majority of people who remember a domain name, usually do not recall other extensions.

    You would inevitably lose some traffic to whoever has the same name but in the .com extension.

    well if you are going to invest certian amount in the store and want to make money out of hte site, then I would recomend to go for a .com a few bucks could really make the difference in SERP

    if your target is just local (meaning a certain group) then by all means, you can use your .info domain but if you are planning to launch it as a global online store then take into consideration the advise of other people here.

    I think you should give first preference either .com and second preference to .net.

    Of course you can but be sure that .Com or .Net is better.

    you can succeed with .info but i do recommend to get a .com if it is a online store

    if the .info you got is a super premium thats fine, but never set up a store at .info because .info is cheap to register, you will loose out that money in promoting it
