Build It Yourself? Think twice.

It takes a lot of skill to build an e-commerce shop, and there are a lot of moving parts. You'll need a product, a concept of your design and the general way you'd like the site to flow. Then, usually, you'll need to know a programming language and several software design programs. Your forte is probably business, so why not focus on getting vendors and product lines for your online store, and hand off your idea to an ecommerce web site development firm. The best use of your time is to find a one-stop agency providing ecommerce web site design, ecommerce web hosting and site development.
