A bit OT: Help with web merchant selection

A friend of mine who runs a small figure skating shop out of his house 
set up a storefront on Yahoo! - he couldn't be happier. The store setup 
looks great and is and easy to manage, Yahoo! handles the 
merchant/payment services, Yahoo! has extensive promotional channels, 
and my friend gets to concentrate on the business and not the 
technology. http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/ecommerce/

There are plenty of e-commerce competitors, but my knowledge here is 
pretty limited. Based on my sample size of 1, Yahoo! ecommerce customers 
seem to like the offering.
