This seems on the low side, but still acceptable.  I personnally run 2
e-shops
(since I had to set something up to show prospective clients what I can do).
The less popular, adult type products content shop gets about 1 in 100
unique users who actually buy something.  The more popular dollhouse
 miniatures site gets about 1 in 50 unique users who order something.  As
far as items in shopping carts that aren't purchased, I haven't got a clue
;-)
This is because our new interchange-driven sites aren't live yet and the old
system doesn't keep those kind of stats.
