    I am building an P2P shopping site like ebay, craigslist, amazon, etc. and I need a cheap or free shopping cart software that will allow buyers to put items in their cart and then checkout. After that a fee will be collected and the seller will get money-fee. It would need to support papal, credit card, etc.

    Any ideas Guys??

    Thanks in advance

    You won't find a FREE solution, but premium script similar to ebay is possible.

    The thing about something like this is you will have to handle transactions between several parties, so the security will have to be tight. You also have to handle shipping and invoicing from and to anywhere in the world. Your best bet might even be to find a web programmer to build you something from scratch.

    It's good to use OS Cart if you have a freelance programmer who can fix it up for you, based on your identified requirements. Also, as mentioned, you need to assure the customers that when they pay the amount on your invoice, the product will be directly shipped to them.

    However, if you want a hassle-free set-up, you can use eCommerce templates for that and then let your programmer fix the layout for you.

    Good luck on your endeavor!
