    I am looking for a paypal shopping cart solution.

    I don't want anything very fancy. I've checked ezypal and it's exactly what I want, but I would like to know if there's anything similar that is open source.

    Automatic delivery of digital goods is required.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    Have you tried oscommerce?

    That might be something you could try out.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but...
    Oscommerce is way too complex for the purpose. I want to set up a site selling a script, maybe a few more in the future.

    aton, can you share a bit more of your experience with that service? What did you liked the most in it?

    Put together something that YOU like, and then hire a programmer to build it.

    It's cheaper than you think.

    I'm thinking that's me :rolleyes:

    I like their simplicity.
    Yes I've coded my own sites and built my own PayPal IPNs, but why go through the hassle when it's already built - security issues and all.

    Not sure how many products you have, but I have 5-6 that I'm testing out. So far a couple of sales and it's really automated. Once you set it up, that's it, simply drive more traffic to it. Signed up for their basic plan, something like $5/month, worth it

    Hope this helps

    does ebay deliver digital goods automatically?

    I am a programer myself, and honestly for as low as 25$ which is the price of ezypal I would not code anything close to it.

    Oscommerce or Zen Cart are the best solutions really.

    I've used Mal's over at http://www.mals-e.com/

    That was a while ago, but it worked well and was free
