Paypal Shopping Cart 

Paypal is an excellent place for one to get started and off the ground. It certainly isn't a permanent solution, nor a solution to provide dramatic growth, but until you "get the bugs out", learn what running an online store demands, and establish sufficient revenue to justify the costs of gateways, shopping carts, and all the aspects of a real payment processing system, take it easy the first couple of months with Paypal. In other words, learn to walk before you run.

Sign up for PayPal and start accepting credit card payments instantly.

Godaddy Shopping Cart 

GoDaddy's Shopping Cart Deluxe Edition is a decent eCommerce option. You'll get a hosted website, custom design tools, a shopping cart, and the ability to accept payments (You will need to get a separate SSL Certificate if you want to accept credit card payments). With GoDaddy Shopping Cart Deluxe, you don't have to worry about losing a percentage of your sales in transaction fees. And you'll be able to easily integrate your webpage products and sales with other programs to maximize sales.
