    Depending on what you sell, you could consider an Ebay or Amazon front to your shop, which saves you investing time and money in creating and maintaining your own web site, whilst you are starting up.

    Roman Cart is pretty good. And it's free.

    Though personally I'd recommend eBay as chances are, more people will be looking at eBay than at your site. Just the way things are.

    Again, depending on what you sell you might consider http://www.etsy.com/ - if you're selling handmade things.

    In answer to your question, OS Commerce is great and it's free.

    p.s. I think you may need a different license to sell alcohol via the web, you should maybe check with HMRC before exporting to other countries.
