E-Com Advice from our experienced in-house team
For RainyCafe, we wanted toggle photo realistic toggle switches as our checkboxes. To achieve the effect we used an image sprite and some CSS trickery.
The magic here is that the checkbox is hidden, and the label itself is what we style. The label is an image of the switch's on/off lozenge, and the label's span is the switch's pin.

People don't buy features, they buy benefits.
Product pages often highlight just features but that's not what sells products. Benefits appeal more directly a reader's emotions. It's especially true if that benefit is solving a problem.
Let's look at how Apple sells the A6 chip in the iPhone:
Instead of leading with an explanation of the high zoot architecture of the A6 chip, they sell the key benefit of "Long battery life." No one really cares how the A6 chip is made, but everyone can relate to the pain of a short battery life.
I find the best way to translate features into benefits is to think of what problem or pain they solve for the reader. If I was shopping for a new car, and I was worried about the price of gasoline, then I'd look for cars with good milage. I then might buy a Prius because it gets 46mpg (the benefit) but not necessarily because I want a hybrid. Hybrid drivetrains are a feature, good gas milage is the benefit. As a fuel-economy conscious consumer, I really don't care too much about how the manufacturer achieves great milage, I'm only interested that it's fuel efficient.
Are you selling features or benefits? How are you solving your consumer's pain?
