yes thats about all you need to get going

[MustHaveMobiles]

Thats the bones of it yes, you also need a payment processor...

Then the battle for traffic to your site begins, well worth it though in my opinion.

That will get you up and running

You need something like paypal or nochex to take payments from your store. OsCommerce supports both of these.

Then its all down to promotion as MustHaveMobiles says.

That is all you need to start, but you will need to invest alot of time in it!
