If you want a great, free open source e-commerce application, try Magento.  It is not as simple as something like Wordpress but extremly powerful and with a little technical skill you get it installed and working.  I have built a few websites using Magento and it is a great way to go.

It's easy to use but very limited about what it can do.

I've been involved in building websites with both wp and wix. I have little knowledge of website building but I am pretty computer savvy. Wix was infinitely easier for me than wp. However wix is a bit more template like. The advantage that wp has is the ability to be more customizable but Ime if you don't know code and graphic design that advantage is completely lost,if not a disadvantage,as your pages will look unprofessional.

For ecommrece, it is best to use an existing Shoping cart, and not paying for a custom one, since it will be much harder to integrate it with other services/plugins.

For the easiest option go with a hosted shopping cart. Prices usually start at $20 a month and include everything you need to start selling on your own website.

Search for

3dcart
Magento Go
Shopify
Volusion
Big Commerece

And many more

WordPress with Headway Themes is the easiest best way to go

If you don't do eCommerce, I would recommend you Go Daddy, it's template based and super easy to set up.
They also have a pretty good customer support service.
