Question the difference between cellar and basement.

I know the meaning of both. But people in some forums say that the two are the same things.
Wheras I know that cellar is a room under ground level for storage.Basement is the level under ground level not a room. For example: The toys are sold in the basement .
basement
ground level
first floor
second floor ...etc.

Am I wrong or else is this an British and American difference such as gas and petrol??
