This is my first e-commerce store need feedback

This is my first e-commerce store, I've been on the web for about a month and a half to two months and i need feed back, I've made about 10 sales. I've redesigned my site once already and need opinions on how it looks and what i can do to improve it. it would be much appreciated. I also need opinions on marketing it more and how to build a better brand. i just started paying for 40,000 hits a month and I've submitted it to about 20 to 25 search engines. Any and all opinions will be appreciated thank you

it looks like a dropshipping site to me right? no offence but your site design looks like some scam site to me...i wouldnt buy anything from it from a consumer's point of view. Other than that i think the idea is great!! but then its just my own feedback maybe others don't see it like me.

Hey, mostly interessting inventory you have there!

Well, I would rebuild the site a little. It doesn't fit into a standard 1024 screen, and scrolling it is annoying. You may eventually consider changing the menu background... maybe something more elegant would better play with the fine header?

Whats your target market? 'Cos some articles on the products you sell might be a good idea if you are targeting non-professional security people (or whatever).

I don't know if I would think it's a scam site...it looks alright. But do lose that font/whatever as the title. Mercenary Tek seems like it should be something big and bold, mean, etc...not something that popped out of the secret garden.

Does that make sense?

If I didn't see the products and just looked at the header, I would be expecting...I don't know!? Anything but self defense products!

I'd like to exchange links later on too, if you're interested...I sell Airsoft products and I know a lot of my customers are interested in some of your line-up. PM sent.

I would suggest to make your cart search engine & user friendly and secure the checkout process as the visitors must feel comfortable during shopping & checkout process.

Hiya it looks much better now!
Now You'll need a good header, like posted before, something really cool spy-technical-industrial-***-kicking!
And I would suggest to resize the images of Your items with some graphical engine. If You scale them down only in Your html editor, they'll get weird contours.
Have fun! kriso.
