Hi millels!
This website is the best source for free instructions and help on setting up a store. I know the user guide isn't as complete as it could be, but it's a work in progress.
If you have a specific question, I'm sure folks here would be happy to help you.
If you're overwhelmed, and don't even know what to ask, I might suggest trying out AgoraCart's mentoring service
http://www.agoracart.com/proshop/agora.cgi?p_id=00021
you can even request to be mentored by Bonnie, who does so much work in these forums. It isn't free, but the price is extremely reasonable, and given the fact that you are a complete newbie, you may find it to be the best money you ever spent. One on one advice from an experienced mentor can save you oodles of time and frustration.
