    i'm using x-cart right now. even though the license costs about $200, they still have some good seo friendly features like static pages and url rewrites. oscommerce is good too, but it may require a plug-in, which can get a little more complicated.

    check out easystorehosting.com

    They offer an amazing control admin panel to add products, categories, titles and a whole lot of advance features. You can check them on the site. They can have meta tags category wise, product wise all unique for all the pages which is very good from an SEO point of view.

    Both oscommerce and zencart are good shopping cart, I am sure there would be seo component there to make it more search engine friendly.

    I know that osCommerce and Virtuemart (a component for Joomla!) both have mods that will allow SE friendly url's.

    I prefer Virtuemart for ease of use as far as modifications go. Joomla is much more modular than osCommerce, so usually you won't break things (normally) when modifying things.

    I've used both. Currently, I only use Virtuemart.

    I didn't know you could do much for SEO on the Yahoo stores. If so, then it's probably a nice way to go. Their reporting tools are probably very good compared to most of the free ecommerce scripts.

    Yahoo stores are very good, and the stores I have built are search engine friendly.

    If you are price conscious, go with a Drupal build and shopping cart modules.

    You may also try Avactis Shopping Cart. It has SEO freindly URLs. As I know most of shopping carts require generation of HTML catalog after you update product catalog. With Avactis Cart no need to generate HTML catalogs after updates.

    I would recommend Virtuemart and the openSEF component. You can optimize each page on your site, including your shopping cart pages. It makes it very easy to optimize your web pages for certain keyword phrases and get ranked for those phrases in Google. Since search engines rank pages, not sites, this makes it very easy to get indexed.
