STRUGGLING...I HAVE A HOSTING PLAN WITH YAHOO AND AM GLAD THEY ARE HOSTING ME BECAUSE THEY HAVE GOOD REPORTS & SEEM RELIABLE.
HOWEVER..... I DO NOT WANT ANY OF THEIR DESIGNS FOR THE WEBSITE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY'RE VERY GOOD.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I HAVE SEEN A COOL WEBSITE TEMPLATE FOR A SHOP THAT I LOVE FOR $100 ON THIS SITE....
IS IT POSSIBLE TO BUY THIS SITE AND THEN TRANSFER IT TO YAHOO SOMEHOW....AND THEN USE THIS AS MY DESIGN OF STORE?
HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE TEMPLATE I WANNA BUY!

Ok. first things first you are not really buying a website you are buying a template. Second the link is not working. Third I don't think you can work it on. You might be able to upload it though and have the template on there. So yes you can as long as you upload it and then edit it.

I very much doubt that this is possible - Yahoo! will only allow its own themes, and there's no way of switching between two hosts.
However, my uncle runs a gift shop in Northern Ireland; he sells candles and things like this. I've always liked his site design, and I think it's a rather good template. Obviously, there are different templates to choose from, and I think he gets it at a fairly reasonable price. It's at http://www.giftedonlineshop.co.uk/. You could even ring him and ask him how he manages it - you know, for tips.
Hope this helps,
Tom.

You may want to try the free online store system called OSCommerce. They have a really simple setup procedure. All you do is go to their website, download the package and upload it on your yahoo space. There's also loads of free themes on the OSCommerce website as well.
It'll save £100 anyway 
Their website is: http://www.oscommerce.com

Can you code a website? Or is that why you are looking to use a template.
If you cant code and feel as though you want help how about using a developer to help you through.
There would be a cost, but at least you know that it would be set up.
Try the following link, there is a contact form, just ask them if they can help....
Anyways good luck!

I don't really think that any of these answers really address the question.
If you go out and buy this template it will come with all the files you need to install it on a server and run it. The question is wether or not yahoo has the services available on their hosting to handle the system or they want you to use their system.
The Template said that it came with all the necessary OSCommerce files and the CRE files to load the template aswell. In order to install it on a server the server will have to have PHP on it (most servers do unless they run .net) and you will need to have data base access in order to create the database that will store your catalog and user information (this system uses mySQL).
It is not likely that yahoo will enable you to access a database from their server so the answer is likely that it is not possible to host that exact store on yahoo.
Yahoo would likely want you to use their own systems however they are not standard to what the rest of the world are using and you are probably limited to what modifications you can make.
In order to make this work you likely do need to use a hosting company other then yahoo. I recommend this site as I have been using them for a while and they have provided great service for me setting up a number of stores and other online systems
