You know I tried to get my own website built and than I had to get inventory and stuff, but I found that that was really hard.  So I started looking into other ways to make money.  Now I just promote products for other people.  But the way it works is that you need to just build a basic site.  You never have to handle any money, costumer service, and headaches of returns.  You just need to find a good niche market.  You can read more in this article about best ecommerce software, and you can even get free affiliate niche stores training.

I hope this helps...
