Hi

I would like to start a small online shop. At first there are only a few products to sell.

What software would you suggest to me?

It should be VERY easy because I would like to start today and have my shop up and running by tomorrow evening.

If you want to have a store up in one day then I would say it is going to look like shit and you probably will not make any sales. WHat is the hurry?

You can use wordpress to make a shitty store but if you want something with alot of flexibility I would recommend you use Magento Commerce

Problem is, I have Adwords and Facebook vouchers and both are only valid until Tuesday .... and I want to use them to promote the shop ....

The shop does not need to be completely ready tomorrow, however, it has to be installed and I should have at least some products together with some info (contact, terms etc.) up .....

Yes, however, Magento looked very complicated to me ....
Is this really easy to install within a reasonable time frame?

Try shopperpress. It's fairly cheap (and possibly free if it's still available in the downloads section). It looks nice and is quick to set up.

Check out the new WooCommerce themes by Woothemes. Fantastic, great looking, and easy to use.

Opencart is the best.
I can create site for you on open cart for few bucks. If you know yourself then its good.

I use opencart
So far happy with it. Plenty of plugins available and a quite active forum for support.
But 1 day is definitely not enough to set it up. I doubt any platform is

hi guys
dont mean to hijack someone else's thread, but do you know of a software that i can use to create a marketplace?
not a store where only the site owner can post things, but something like ecrater where anybody can create an account and post things?
and it must be free/open source.

I love opencart. It is secure, very user friendly, seo friendly, and is getting updated all the time. It also has a large community so there are many 3rd party mods for really cheap.
