For an e-commerce website, I believe it is well worth investing a significant budget to ensure the site is built in a polished and professional manner.

The market and niche makes a huge difference. Some are really competitive and you need to spend a lot to make a dent, some are less crowded, but the earning potential is more limited and so on. There is no general rule or budget.

Spend as much as you can a monitor your ROI. Then keep reinvesting in the channels where your ROI is positive, so you can capture a large enough portion of your target market if possible.

It depends on the market, product range, and platform. I would start with a basic budget for website development, payment setup, shipping, and marketing, then increase spending based on actual sales.

You can also be smart and buy multiple domain for SEO instead of buying ads and spend a huge amount for testing.

There's no one size fits all budget here. You should scale your spend based on positive ROI, reinvesting in channels that work to capture market share. At the end of the day, your exact budget depends on your niche dynamics and market shifts.

to be honest, it depend on what you are selling and your audience and how competitive the market is. personally, I would start from making an elegant website, setting up all payment options nd deliveries, doing some marketing campaign to check whether the product is selling and then increasing the budget. one of the mistake that I have noticed quite often is spending a huge amount of money on advertisement before checking the conversion rate of the product page.
