So heres the scoop, my client wants a ecommerce site, its pretty much charity work. Now to the catch.

I have never, ever, ever even sneezed e commerce. I can obviously code and all that jazz as i normally specialize in web design with CSS/Jquery etc.

This may sound a little hectic but i am totally in over my head and looking for help.

a) I don't know what e commerce software to use it has to be free or pretty much next to free
it has to be fairly easy to learn for someone who is tech savvy (i can code html/css/javascript php i know a bit but its very very week)
c) I know how to set up databases and all that but i would require a interface for adding/removing products
d) How would i go about controlling inventory? the person would have say 3 items in store to ship out would the program know this? would it update dynamically?
5) payment, how/where/why

Any and all info on the subject you can give to help me out of this bind would be amazing. I am a few more failed attempts away from giving up the contract.

simple answer is a CMS, look at Joomla and ModX

I would do special offer for charity - half price. - £14.95 - or maybe £10 for good links.

I would recommend Magento
