eCommerence - Using a CMS or Develop bespoke?

[Bakedgoods]

I'm thinking of setting up a onlien business but I have a few questions first..

Have any of you used some sort of eCommerece website store solution for this? Or used a CMS/Blog combined with some other software to build a catalogue and sell products via your website?

I can code in ASP.net however my knowledge really isn't that great and I have no experience with taking credit card payments online so i'm wondering if buying a solution like above is a relatively sound idea.

Functionality wise I think I could develop everything, but i'm just not sure how to handle the cart and payment stuff.

I've just never had to think about securing a website (obviously i've done membership stuff) so i'm not massively confident, although it would be a good learning curve.

I'm just interested in seeing if anyone has bought a solution for a similar sort of thing?
