Which one to choose for my cosmetic online store? osCommerce or Magento?

I want to set up a small online store for selling some local-made cosmetics. Now, I'm confused between osCommerce and Magento, for I don't know which one to choose. Please note that I only want the most basic features of ecommerce site, and what I sorely concern is the ease of use.

You do realize you came to the osCommerce forums, right? :)

j/k

 

Stock Magento is much more feature rich than stock osCommerce and Magento is currently the world's most popular open-source ecommerce platform, but if all you are looking for is just ease of use and basic features - any cart will do.

If I were you I'd personally go with either open-cart or prestashop (or even zen-cart or loaded 7 which are based on versions of osCommerce) instead of osCommerce or Magento...

As pointed out, this is the osCommerce discussion forum, so you will get replies that tend towards recommending osCommerce! That said, although I have not used Magento myself, from what I hear, anything beyond a small basic shop is going to start costing serious money compared to osCommerce. It really uses server resources (requiring you to buy a more powerful server) and most of the really professional quality upgrades (add-ons, in osCommerce terms) are not free. However, the basic installation is free, so you can play with it. Just be aware that going beyond a "sandbox" level could cost you quite a bit.
