You do what you have to, Phillip.  I've been there.
Making $450 doing something beats making $0 just sitting around.
Plus, you get some e-commerce experience, which you can then use
to sell other sites.  $450 is tough, however.

What about using a service like GoDaddy's shopping cart or Amazon,
or even e-Bay?  Something that's ready-made to be plug into or link to
from your site?

Actually, no. To both statements.

Yes, I know my time is valuable and I know I should be paid allot
more, but I'm in an area that does not allow me to get paid that much
for it. So I am undervaluing my services, but I am not losing money.

If you had no other clients and didn't have any work at all for 6
months (Yes, I'm that desperate) and I approach you with a $450 job
that will take around 10 hours to install something and set up pages
around it, are you actually trying to tell me you would turn it down?
This is madness....

(waits for it)
