So what do you do when you have outgrown turbo lister for eBay, sick and switching between accounts and want to set up your own e-commerce store?
Well there are many different systems you can choose but these are the ones I like:
For the SME:
Inkfrog – ~$10 per month

Vendio ~ $10 a month plus a % of sales (Vendio e-commerce store is free)
Describe an item once and make it available to buyers on your own free online store, Amazon.com, eBay, Google Product Search, and other online channels. As sales come in, the Vendio Platform enables you to process all orders using one convenient interface while keeping inventory quantities in sync across your sales channels.
No need to learn multiple management interfaces for marketplaces, store builders and shopping engines. Our ecommerce solution unifies your selling experience into a single online Platform – the Vendio Platform. And with the addition of Vendio Applications to help you, you can manage and build your business more effectively, making it more profitable.
For slightly bigger operations and UK based SME’s

MarketplaceAvdvisor (formally Marketworks) is quirky, so be prepared to learn.

ChannelAdvisor helps the world sell online with solutions for retailers to efficiently distribute their products across multiple online channels, drive shoppers to those products, and then convert those shoppers into customers.
CA is a full service application but will not fit all businesses. They also integrate with ASPDOTNETSTOREFRONT.com.
These are the only services that can automate your business online I have personally used, consulted with or know businesses that have.
