I used osCommerce and Virtuemart with Joomla. osCommerce is pretty straightforward, Virtuemart is a plugin/component for Joomla CMS and I prefer it even thought it's not as good (it's simpler tho).
You don't need any photoshop knowledge above resizing/cutting photos and that's really basics. Now about inputting products, I have made a shop for a friend who has over 1000 products so obviously he and his team had to input all of them (I've prepared and printed a tutorial for them with screenshots of the back-end), but on few other projects when there were only 3-10 products I've done the job myself. The real biggy when setting those shops is to test them thoroughly, in every possible way before launching it live/starting proper out-of-the-site SEO. Then, in the end, tell your client that a shop itself won't make ANY money if not SEO'd properly and advertised in a proper nieche depending on your product/places you ship to, and get some extra $$$ for the job, depending on the competition.
