Asare,

This sounds like a request for a consulting engagement. I'm sure many of
us would be glad to sell our services for this type of request.

As it is both off-topic and more relevant to solving general problems, I
don't think you'll get too many in-depth replies.

See below for terse ones.

Do you mean a GUI? AFAIK, nobody really sells or provides GUIs out of
the box. You generally have to create your own by adopting things you
like about existing sites.

Paypal is not a requirement, but is an option. There are lots of credit
card processors out there. Make sure you read about "PCI Guidelines"
which dictate how you must treat credit card data if you choose to do
the transactions yourself (instead of using something like paypal's
pay-it-at-paypal's-site service).

That's a semi-complex problem that has multiple solutions depending on
other requirements.

Good luck,
