Max to the bridge (way to mujch star treck over the weekend):

Okidoki, I want to start an online shop. Thing is I dont know with what, I used to use shop factory but dont like it.

I want to have all my products with pics etc. Instead of a shopping cart with a check out, I want to use a sort of HTML form, whereyou basically tick the boyes of the produckts you want to buy, type in your details and then it send me an email with all the details, I then review the post and send them the required information. I would like to incorporate paypal into it, but want to work with forms so I can really contact the customer.
My product market is locally, (just switzerland) for now.
What would you guys/gals, suggest I do it with? Just start on HTML,if so,you you know any good free shop templates? Or should I giveit a go with joomla and virtue mart? Can I incorporate the html forms,or something similar with joomla?
Thanks everyone!!

most people don't want to wait, they want to buy now.

The model you want to implement wouldn't be conducive to business online. It would work with local print advertising.

HTML pages would probably be the easiest way to set up a site like that.
Paypal requires a dollar amount or invoice, so integration would only be possible with an invoice / bill.

Yes, I started a weebsite with paypal and made no sales what so ever. Then I put hte same products on a local ebay type site. Got 30 sales in a matter of weeks for the same modle. The thing which put me ahead of the others selling the same product was that I was willing to meet the customers at the local train station. I dont know, but it works.
I did try the other way.
