If you're in the US, meeting Section 508 standards is your minimum goal for compliance. But you really should be developing to WCAG 2.0 standards (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/). Section 508 is being refreshed to be in line with WCAG standards and many other countries' laws are already in line with them. If you're developing to WCAG 2.0 now, not only will you be prepared for the refresh but you'll be providing a better user experience and have a more robust product.

Thad,
By ecommerce site, I am guessing you mean the Amazons and eBays of the
world. The following articles [1][2] will probably be a good read. WebAIM
has a getting started document [3], and so does the Web Accessibility
Initiative [4]. I'd probably aim to meet WCAG 2 Level AA
