So not as crazy as it sounds to be honest....

How much would the average sale be?
How many transactions do you expect to process a day?
Is there a requirement for additional shopfaces?
If i were you, I would use a cheap/free solution to dip your toe in the water, then if you get the the point where you are transacting >100000 orders a day then look at migrating the one of the big 5 platforms.

I am just rofl ing a lot know as I have been saying to the clueless senior execs for the past 18 months (and £1.5 million) you are wasting time and money buying this to sell a total of 7 (seven) different products on the web.
Someone must be getting a back hander!
7 products you say. So that is £500 for the style (or £25,000 for a design house) and £10 a month for hosting using the site above.....

Actually looking around Ecommerce Software & Online Shopping Cart Solutions by Volusion with a £500 or so template may be a very good deal...

Originally setup a OSCommerce site for the missis and her plans for ecommerce dominance but that was a bit of a chore - eventually moved to a Volusion site with a customised template - you could probably be up and running in a few days with Paypal integration and something like Worldpay within 2-4 weeks
