What you are looking for is an all-in-one online store/shopping cart which works with a third party payment processor. There are plenty payment processors to choose from - there are several threads on these forums that go into more detail about the various options, but Paypal, Worldpay are Nochex are amongst the most popular.
Once you've chosen a payment processor, you need a ecommerce shop system to go with it.
Take a look at oscommerce.com - their system works well with nearly all processors and is a flexible system in general. It's a free all-in-one solution
The reply above from Ali is correct and abit of research into what you need etc is needed. the url link above is a good start and is a free online shop.
If you know nothing about PHP codeing then I'd suggest you get somebody to build one for you. My recomendation would be with Ali in the above post who will build to your requirements and a very affordable price!
thanks for your help guys just took a look at ali website should i opt for one of the solutions on ther as i am blind when it comes to programeing and building sites i need something that is user friendly and simple to use like i say i want something to use with ease what can you offer me ali?im intrested and if any one on here would like to stock me some goods and offer dropshipping to i would be intrested in that to like i say it dont have to be cheap but not to dear i want a site wher i can make 3-4 pound profit on each item i sell its not a big profit but if i sell lots of say 10 digie cams then thats 20pound profit could you git back to me ali and do your services use the 3rd part transaction proceses i was thinking of going with nochex
osCommerce stores work perfectly with Nochex so that won't be a problem
Leave it with me Mark and I'll put together some information for you tomorrow morning that tells you more about how everything works. Will send you that by PM (Private Message).
To summarise though, once the site is up and running (as Dave said, the building side of it isn't so straight forward, but that's not something you need to worry about) it's very, very easy to use.
