Um, there is an online one stop shop for everything called Amazon. And there's eBay.

... and he's trying to do this on $20k?

... and he wants to have a global consumer-oriented business website without a .com domain?

... and the whole "one-stop shop" concept stops becoming appealing when going to a specialty store takes two clicks instead of driving two miles.

Also, the design of the actual site leaves ... something to be desired: http://www.globalcommunity.me/

The fact that it takes longer to get to the auction section of the site than to just type in "http://www.ebay.com is a warning sign too. I bet he did this on a free server, because it's really slow.
