Use an existing solution, which has a proven track record, and be very careful about what plugins and custom code you include. Also make sure that the users passwords are salted and hashed, and all of their financial data is properly encrypted (using their password).

 

You might want to hire someone to do a security audit once you're ready to push it into production.

There's a bunch of options in PHP for eCommerce software. Some are more customizable than others, so search around and find one you like. Some suggestions are: Magenta, Wordpress with WP e-Commerce, Drupal with Ubercart, or Joomla with VirtueMart.

 

Also, make sure that you do not store credit card information on your own servers. There are pretty stiff regulations in place for doing so, and if you have to ask, you are not experienced enough to do it. It's better to use a trusted third party service for that kind of thing.
