The toughest challenge is to acquire customers. With tools like Shopify or BigCommerce, it's fairly easy to launch an eCommerce. It could be done in a day. However, building reputation and visibility is a task of a different level of complexity.

For e-commerce, I believe marketing tactics are the most time-consuming yet necessary, and UX/UI is also crucial.

Marketing. Since there are a lot of products that are the same, it's hard to convince customers what to buy.

Marketing is probably most critical part of this. In general, e-commerce has a lot of more things to worry about than marketing: product searching, sourcing, inventory, storage and fulfillment. These things all add up and take away your time, especially if you start out as a single person army. Solutions that save you from the chores would be great, so you can focus on marketing.
