How does having my own site compare to having an Oligoville shop in regards to expense?

You can expect to spend anywhere between several hundred to several thousand dollars for a website. That does not include your domain and hosting fees which can average around $110 per year. Then you need to consider shopping cart capabilities which can start at around $40 a month and up.
What is the point in having a shopping cart if you cant run transactions? Merchant accounts cost around $60 a month plus a percentage of each sale you make.
