I think any serious emphasis on a domain for a shopping website needs to be given careful consideration.
Hyphen domain has worked very well on our holiday website but would never consider a domain with hyphen again.
This is open to loosing valuable business. Especailly when you are trying to build a brand. Through word of mouth people will give the name of the website but not necessarily the url so when giving "shopping info" as a website name most people will automatically think the name is shoppinginfo if they cannot find it by typing in the address bar of the browser.
This would not automatically go through to the site because the site name would have been shopping-info etc.
