My husband and I have been selling successfully on a certain online auction site for 2 years, but this auction site's fees are becoming more than we can handle. They are increasing their store fees next month, and since we have anywhere from 200 to 300 items in that store at any given time, and half our sales are from there, this one is going to hurt. Alot.
We've been talking about setting up an online store away from said auction site for quite some time, now with the new fee increase coming up, this is the time to do so. So I researched and researched, and kept coming back to Zen Cart as the cart system that would best fit our needs.
And now, I'm so totally lost. I purchased a new web domain through JSWeb; I found them via a link on Zen Cart's site. I think I purchased something else too; I have no idea. All I know is that it cost us about $40.00. (That may have been a mistake.)
I'm using a little bitty old purple iMac with OSX 10.2 on it. (Yes, I just heard you say "Yikes!") I don't even know what "PHP" is; I Googled a decription and kinda got it, but not quite. I tried downloading the Apache thingy someone mentioned somewhere, but read it was full of security issues for OSX 10.2. So no go there. I don't even know where to download the Zen Cart from.
I am very willing and able to learn, but my eyes just start crossing when I read through a lot of this stuff here. I'm a "hands on" type person; if I work with it, I can learn it. And no, we can't afford to have someone set it up for us. (Don't I just wish...) If I could just find the place to start, I could work my way through it, but as I said, I'm lost and I can't find where to start.
If someone would please point me to "Go" I would so appreciate it. Once I find it, Park Place is mine! (Eventually...)
