    basically ive ran a website selling a certain products for 6 months

    problem is its a basic html website with no check-out
    all sales are done via the customer having to ring us or email us
    then we generally only been accepting cheques kinda a pain for my customers and myself

    ive recently been selling the same product on ebay - and tbh with paypal checkout - its all so much easier.

    and im just thinking about creating a store - so its easier for my customers which im in turn will help my sales.
    and really if it doesnt work out then i can switch back no problem.

    and im looking for a free script and first thing that came up was
    http://www.oscommerce.com/

    just wondering what you guys here at DP think of this - is it any good or to buggy . . . .

    also by having a store i can maybe sell some other products aswell im not sure yet but i jsut want to expand or atleast try it

    Why don't you use paid shopping cart such as http://livecart.com .
    Its interface is more user friendly than the Oscommerce script.

    CubeCart is easier to work with than eCommerce and it is also free.
