Easy Storefront E-Commerce

[gleam]

I am like alot of the newbies in the webmaster world. I want to open a storefront that can be searchable on google. I want to sell my products there, because when I sell them on EBay, I am losing alot of money. What I want is simple and basic, something I can sell my scrapbooking products. Just a simple storefront that has a shopping cart linked to paypal.

Lots of scripts like that out there. Goog-search for "shopping cart scripts"....

Thanks,

I looked at them most of them charge, are there any free ones or do you recommend any that you know of that are free or low-cost?

osCommerce is but ONE of the leading open-source (read: FREE) e-commerce shopping carts. It runs on the PHP engine, so check with your ISP to see if they have it installed. Otherwise go with an ISP that will let you set it up. Lunarpages is one ISP that offers osCommerce.

Good luck,

I feel from your post that you are not comfortable with adding script yourself. The easy way is to use a merchant account like cartsupport.com which provides inbuilt shopping cart free. You just have to add the "add to cart" and "buy " buttons to your site and you are ready to sell online.All merchant account companies like this have this kind of setup.

I started an account with andale.com to have a storefront, I find their script and uploads are easy and my level.

They also do google adword manager and linked to my EBay account.

Alot of host provide a shopping cart as part of the deal you will need to double check that the cart supports paypal. You should be able to find ok hosting and a cart you like for about $10 per month give or take a little.
