I need to build a website were people can be a member: Log in, create a profile, provide us with shipping info, contact info, etc… This site also needs a shop/store section. I want my costomers to buy through the site. How do I program these and how do I adress this from a legal standpoint?
It will take a fair bit of time to build that site: it is similar to any kind of e-commerce.
There are packages you can use, such as joomla, drupal or os-commerce.
However, these packages are still for advanced coders who know what they are doing. But to be honnest, a progammer who knows what he is doing does NOT use these packages: too big, too inefficient, difficult to adapt to a particular case.
They do write it themselves.
A small job like yours can be completed in about three-four weeks (by a pro), and would be charged around 12-1800 us$. (That would be my estimated quote).
On the other hand, if you want to write it yourself, get a start with a login system: download "login script" from http://www.web2coders.com (free). Read it, understand it, and you will have a good starting base.
Good luck!

This kind of package takes thousands of hours of development to be secure and do what you need.
Consider using Joomla or drupal with a cart plugin or using Zen or one of the other cart packages.
Or building a site around paypal/ebay and or Etsy or one of the commission-based online stores.
