Deep crafting, in the sense that recipies must be actually tested and the best gear is player made -- yes.
Player housing (apartments) can be purchased and with the Ryzom Forge initiative there are likely to be a lot more decoration options soon. Right now, it's just lightly decorated storage and a meeting space. (The storage is only available to subscribers; anyone can buy the apartment.)
No player shops, if what you mean is a permanent location where a player can put their things (and only their things) up for sale. There are vendors that will re-sell goods for you, but you need to keep track of them because if it doesn't sell in a week, and you don't retrieve it, the vendors toss it on the trash heap.
Most "selling" is done by trade in person.
