Key Magento features
Magento provides a set of functionality that meets the common needs of online businesses. Beyond the basic functionality, Magento is able to be augmented, via either community-supplied add-ons or custom code, meaning that it can be customized to meet the specific needs of any business.
The following is a list of great features of Magento e-commerce system:

• Backordering (with selectable tresholds, let us set how many to sell that aren't in inventory so we can determine how far behind we want to allow orders to go..)
• Minimum and maximum quantities on orders per item
• Cross-selling and up-selling
• Coupons these should be limited by role, taxonomy, number of uses per customer, number of uses total, start date, and end date.. Also linked products, where if you buy product x, you get a % or $ off discount on product y.. this could be used for an Amazon like "Buy these products together and save even more"
• Discounts (per roll, time based sales, added by the store administrator.. also per taxonomy)
• Product reviews
• Re-ordering of previously ordered products
• Affiliate tracking/payouts, fully configurable
• Multiple, configurable wishlists
• Flat rate shipping per item, per order, or both.. 
• Recently viewed items block
• Ability to compare 2 items side-by-side, and also a recently views comparisons block if items have been compared..
• Tell-a-friend through email function, with a special link included in the email to allow someone to block their email address from being emailed further. This should have an access permission so the store administrator can decide whether they want anonymous uses to be able to use this or not, or have it set per role.
• Landing page generator, to create pages similar to the FrontPage module, and do tracking on these and allow ordering right off the page.
• Gift cards - Allow users to purchase gift cards which can be spent in place of using a payment method.. and can be emailed to anyone they choose..
• EBay - The ability to list products on ebay through the Ubercart administration as if you're adding a product.. and optionally have this product displayed in the cart as well, but send someone over to ebay if they're trying to order it.
