You have no idea how long the answer to that question could be. Try searching Yahoo! for "setting up an ecommerce website" and read some of the articles.
this is a pretty loaded question. i suggest you break this question down and ask the specifics of what you’re looking for rather than such a large question.
in general, if you’re a non-tech person looking to set up shop online, there’s a few ways to go:
* some packaged ecom software (like yahoo small business) – least amount of tech knowledge required without large expense
* a web shop that will set up a custom ecom site for you – very expensive, but most professional result
* paypal/hateway abstraction provider – will need to be comfortable with cutting and pasting a little html.
