How large is your budget? It is totally possible, and the website itself can even be done at a reasonable cost, the bulk of your cost would be in marketing. Honestly, if it was that easy to create a website that was like amazon, don't you think Google or Facebook would have done it?
but I have no idea where to start? Start by contacting a web design and development firm.
Where do I get the products? Manufacturers, Distributors, Wholesalers, & Dropshippers.
How do I start the website? You pay a website designer/developer.
Who do I go through? Anyone who is competent in web design and development.
Who can I trust? If the website looks legitimate, has proven results, and a toll-free number, chances are they are a legitimate company. Make sure they are in the USA. Ask for references. Ask many questions,
Do I need a ecommerce script please help I am ready to get on my career. An eCommerce script would save you some money, but if you want a site like Amazon, you may need it customized heavily, so it may just make sense to custom code it.

You sound lost my friend ;)
I am farely knew to this myself but there is a site im interested in using when Im fully prepared...hopefully soon..It was referred to me awhile back but honestly the site looks cheesy. Its a web hosting site to help people like me without much experience get started. I came across it again and actually, im personally going to give it shot.
I wish i had more personal experience with it myself but others have and it seems perfect for me.
Heres the link for Pagebuzz....hope everything works out.

by Fiona - 8 months agoYou have two options in building an ecommerce site:
1. Use a standalone shopping cart. These includes having your own domain name and web host. Then install a free shopping cart like Zencart, OsCommerce or Cubecart via one-click installer like Fantastico. Then customize your site. The disadvantage of using this option is you need to have at least a basic knowledge in programmming and web designing.
2. Use a hosted e-commerce solution. These includes a complete hosting, domain and e-commerce services package. All you need to do is sign up an account with them, customize your site and add your items. The only disadvantage of using this option is its very pricey. Such example of a hosted e-commerce solution is BigCommerce.
If you want to advertise products from Amazon, you have to have an account with. You can select products to advertise and use their templates, then place it in your site. If you are using Wordpress, you can use their plugin to advertise yourAmazon items or use the script generated from Amazon and placed it in your site.
