I just started working on www.karmaglassworks.com. It's definetly a work in progress, but I am liking how it is coming out. I am not looking for opinons on the nature of my site and what I am selling, only advice on the content listing. Anyways, I need some help. I am not sure what would be the best method to list my items. I am only going to be selling 25-30 items at a time, once I sell out or get low I plan to buy more items, at least until business gets better. I was considering using Paypal as my credit card processor, is there a better alternative? It seemed easy, I just put the item info and it gives me the link to use with my "Buy Now" buttons and it takes them to the PAypal site to pay. What would you guys suggest using? Also, for listing my items, I was considering just a group listing, for instence you click "vaporizers" and it has all the vaporizers (eventually) laid out, then you can click it to get more details, so I was considering creating new html pages for EACH item, is there an easier way around this? I am a novice when it comes to web design/coding/design so any help is GREATLY apprecieated.
Hi, I think you've made a great start doing this yourself. My suggestion is to use the simple Paypal cart to run the shopping cart. This is the easiest way to get started. IF you have problems with the paypal setup, the easiest solution is to install a shopping cart PHP script to manage the products and sales via paypal. I can also suggest that you upload real pictures of the items and perhaps, a video of the items and even people using them, shown via a YouTube video. I suppose legal uses would be good.

I have a small studio set up for ebay items I sell, which I plan to use to take high quality pictures of each piece. Thanks for the advice.
If you are novice, its a good start for sure. I would suggest making the left side nav in different color--its too bright there. Others already gave you the great advices. Good luck with your venture.
