eCommerce Options

There are basically four options available for implementing selling products on-line. The options are as follows:

1. Using PayPal
2. Using eBay
3. Using an eStore product from a commercial vendor/supplier.
4. Using an Open Sourced eStore product.

Each of the above eCommerce options has it's own advantages and disadvantages. It's vitally important also to understand all the client's requirements to sell and support products on-line. Creating a table/matrix of the client's requirements against each of the available solutions will help greatly in comparing the eCommerce options, as objectively as possible.
