Which ecommerce platform is your favorite and why?

of course Magento about the Site Management : - One-Click Upgrades - Customer Groups - Support for localization International Support: - Tax rate support - Shipping Destination Addresses with ability to specify per shipping method Search Engine Optimization: - 100% Search Engine Friendly - Meta-information for products and categories Marketing Promotions and Tools: - Free Shipping Option - Recently Viewed Products - Search Engine Friendly URL’s - Send Wishlist to a Friend by Email or RSS and alot alot alot of feature , but i didn't work in Ebay so i can decide which better

Magento is ofcourse is one of the finest platform to build an ecommerce platform.
It's provides great tools to manage the website, product inventory and create reports.
It's a smart end to end solution and specifically build for ecommerce website.
Once the website is created, anyone with a bit of technical knowledge can manage the website with it's user friendly admin controls.
I recommend Magento to my customers for small to big online stores.

The Carpet store is open 311 days per year and annual demand is 10,000yards of carpet. If it takes 10 days to receive an order of carpet, how much carpet should be on hand when an order is placed?

1.Flipkart(India just because of lots of offer and coupans).

2.Snapdeal(India reasonable price).

3.Amazon(World Wide lots of choices and price comparison).

4.Souq(UAE just because I'm in UAE :( ).

My suggestion goes to magento, which is the best ecommerce platform compared with any other one. Because it's a opensource, high secured and extensible. Read this info: https://www.apptha.com/blog/magento-ecommerce-trends-that-favor-business/

for me its Ebay, coz it allows you to buy your product safely, with shipping and customer safety procedures
