What resources does an International Internet retailer need other than merely a storefront on the Internet?

supply-chain, shipping, RMA, customer support.. etc... and of course, you're gonna need software to take care of all that. I've had ebay business... if you have a large volume of stuff to ship, UPS and FedEx give you ton of discounts on shipping.. i think they help you out w/supply chain as well.

You can start at Yahoo Shopping. I guess you can set up a small online store there with minimum effort. Once your business grows, you may move it your own site and buy some custom built website.

yup, it's ok. maybe you could try this: \n\ni want to source and import the following goods: jewels, watches, slippers (you name it).\n\nor \n\ni will be sourcing out (name the goods) and importing them by (date).

I don't know where you are geographically, but increasingly, people go on-line to check for local services. \n There's a great free e-book at http://services.inquire-sbi.com about how services can use the Web to build business.  I have done that. My site is http://www.writershelper.com. My business is different because I can have world-wide clients, but the book will show you how to use the Web to build a local business, too.\nOf course this is only one piece of the pie and others will give you other advice as well.\n\nBest wishes.

Kristen,\n\n  I actually run such a website.  Of all the English speaking visitors that my sites receive, only about 5% are non-American.  While I am sure it is frustrating to non-Americans that companies do not cater to them, it is simply because the vast majority of our VISITORS are American in the first place.  The cost-benefit structure of international shipping is just not very good to make us want to deal with foreign customers.\n\nSorry!!!

So far it is more important to have the financial resources to succeed over the internet than having the best services offered to the public. That's why small businesses are having a difficult time succeeding over the internet.\n\nHas it occurred to you that there are over 200 million listings under the key search words ONLINE DVDS and FLORISTS, but the most successful ones are found on Yahoo's home page, email sites, etc? You must have the financial resources (or a good tie-in somewhere) to pay for premium advetising space and have long-term exposure to build name recognition for your business.\n\nI live in Shreveport, Louisiana (population of 400,000). Based on my estimates, online DVD rentals generate over $20,000 per month in this area. Netflix generates most of the revenue because they knew how to use the internet towards their advantage. I believe there are many small businesses that can succeed over the internet if the right services are offered to public, but right now Yahoo and Google are not offering the services needed for small business owners to succeed over the internet.\n\nI am building a web site platform called SeeMeOn.Com that will offer the services needed for small businesses to succeed both locally and abroad. The public will have a choice to search for information and services only area businesses can offer or search abroad to find more information and services from businesses outside the area. Due to a large number of businesses that are trying to promote their site over the internet, only a limited number of businesses will be able to offer their services abroad. I know it may be unfair, but it is necessary to create a healthy online market for small businesses to florish over the internet.\n\nI know you may be skeptical about this idea, but as more people are working harder and having less time to get things done during their busy schedule, you can expect the internet to play a more viable role in helping the public find information and services in their area. With a local web site platform you can purchase a gift certificate from a local golf shop or health spa as a last minute gift, know what self-development courses or sports clubs will be offered to you or your five year old that you'll forget, learn a about a product or service before going to your local store to make that purchase and much much more.\n\nIf you are interested in learning more or become partners with us in a very lucrative enterprise, please send your email to rascoe627@yahoo. We will keep you inform of any future developments. \n\nThank you for your time and I am looking forward to hear from you.

most internet stores require a credit card or debit card.

Hi, I swear to you - I am not giving you crap - the answer is to ASK YOUR CUSTOMERS and secondly as your other suppliers.  But yes your customers can be HUGE sources or free and Valuable information.  At 1 time I built a chain of stores simply by asking the customers 'what to carry' and 'where to buy' type of questions.  \n\nGood Luck & Thanks!
