ProPay to me is a good starting point for any business. But the FEES are higher than a typical merchant account.
I had ProPay when I first started out and it definitely served me well but I quickly realized that I was going to run into the maximum in charges (they didn't offer different options when I had it) and that the fees were quickly adding up.
I have a full merchant account with www.merchantexpress.com - I could not come up with a better plan with either my bank or another local bank.

I found my manual imprinter and slips on eBay
-
I would recommend http://www.willowgroupltd.com/
-
WAHM Shoppes has real time calculators (USPS and UPS) built in.
-
I like the first one the best!
-
I would use www.craftlister.com or www.eventlisters.com its free! I did at one time have a membership to www.festivalnet.com but can't honestly say that it was worth the money for it. Sure it had several listings but a bunch of them are on ther other links I provided and they are FREE to search.

Lots of options out there that are low cost or Free.
Free Shopping Carts
PayPal's Add to Cart buttons
Low Cost
I would certainly make a list of what you want to do on your website and then compare the various options to see what will work best for you.
EDIT: There also various programs out there such as Front Page, Dreamweaver and various WYSIWIG editors that could work for you as well.
-
I would also recommend www.diyestores.com
-
You could try a couple different routes.
If you want to be more hands on and do it yourself, then I would recommend the following:
If you don't want to have to do anything design wise but maybe your products, then I would hire a designer.

Forgive if any mine are similar to what has already been said. Didn't read through them all.
Candela Bella (Beautiful Candle, Italian)
or one word Candlebella
BellaScented
BellaSense (beautifying your senses)
BellaScents
Scentsitivities
Impresscents
Scentsere (think sincere, synonym of natural)

Legitimate problems with a product I'll do a refund or exchange.
In this particular case, no dice, sorry, wouldn't get anything more from me.
-
I like the one with the black in the middle (the 1st)
-
Depending on where you are located, I recommend www.uline.com
They are local to me so I can pick them up right from their warehouse BUT shipping rates aren't all that bad either.
-
If you plan to use Go Daddy's hosting, I would probably recommend Mals for the shopping cart. BUT there are plenty of options out there. You can just register your domain with Go Daddy and host it elsewhere, it just all depends on what features you need.
Some recommendations for carts that I would have:
And if you use PayPal, you can create Buy Now buttons with them but strictly for the use with PayPal.
Hope that helps!
-
I would recommend Microsoft Small Business Accounting

You can also try www.clipart.com
-
The spam issue is a setting in your e-mail. You can actually get rid of it by turning it off in the area you setup your e-mails. Hope that helps
-
I know e-mails at WAHM Shoppes often get caught in the spam filters. Might want to try one of the following options:

Wow $750? Hope they are darn good! While I have had quite a few go to that price it was because they had me doing 25 or more pages on their site so they were paying hourly.
Any image you find on google is copyrighted by the website's owner.
As for ClipArt.com, by paying the fee, you are given the right to use the photos/clipart as you need. You just don't have exclusive rights to them so others can use them as well.
Hope that helps!

Actually with both DIY and WAHM Shoppes, you can collect the credit card info securely to process manually with ProPay (online). You do not need to use Mals at all with either of them.
-
For starting a site, you could use www.diyestores.com ($20.00 a month) and you don't necessarily have to have primitive or country graphics. Any graphics you want to use can be used with the system as long as they are named within the specific parameters.
You get a fully functioning website, shopping cart built in and its truly DIY.
