    If you are looking to develop your own first split out the entire system into following:

    -> List / View Products (uses simple MySQL select to retrieve)
    -> Add to Cart (You can use Session or Insert in a database)
    -> User Registration (You should know how to do this by now already. If not google for it. There are many tutorials on this already)
    -> Checkout -> Transfer to PayPal -> IPN -> Process (Involves Insert / Update / Session / phpmail)

    And Admin Area would be more easier as you would have mostly SELECT (to view) and UPDATE to update any order / product and INSERT to add any product.

    You would get better help on these forums if you post a more specific question rather than a general one.
