Since then I have seen some shared open source templates that I can use with a hosting service like IX. I've stayed away from GoDaddy for now anyway. I need a store, not just a web site. I'd like the host to be able to integrate eBay, FB and allow direct sales for cash (like a MO would be).

So, it seems that motion's suggestion is a one-stop site builder, host and payment gateway. I don't think a lot of these builder sites like Ubercart (but not limited to them) do a very good job of explaining what they can do until they see some of your money. I checked Zen-cart and I wasn't overly swayed in that direction.

What else is out there? TIA.
Get a linode.com account ($20/mo) and set up a debian server on it, get your lamp stack going, and install something like OpenCart. Keep using GoDaddy for your domain registration and DNS.
