Is Amazon the best E-commerce Choice?

    I have a client who is interested in starting an ecommerce store. His business provides audio/video services and is now getting into selling audio gear like wireless mics, etc.

    My web development firm usually designs ecommerce sites using the Magento platform. This is not a viable solution this time as it is too expensive. My client is also interested in getting traffic right away.

    They have a great domain name for the store. Given the items they will be selling / Amazon's traffic, etc. Is an Amazon store the right choice for them?

    If Amazon seems like a good choice, what is it like to work within the Amazon constraints? What are the pain points? I have a team of designers/developers. Approximately how long would it take to get a store that sells 5-10 products up and running? They want it to look similar to their other service site.


    Thanks in advance!
    :)
