    Hi Guys

    I am looking for a shopping cart, either a script e.g. Zen Cart or OsCommerce or a hosted solution. It is to sell 800 items and solely supply UK customers and it must have:

    1. A shipping module that calculates the shipping cost from the weight in a similar way to the way it is done for Amazon 3rd Party sellers. e.g. £3.99 per order and £0.25 per Kilogram (you can set you own rules for this)

    2. Ability to use with mCommerce, Mobile Store. Volusion seem to supply this but have a bad reputation as far as I can see on the web. But that seems close.

    3. Be SEO friendly as possible.

    4. No Transaction fees

    Thanks

    I do everything with Magento. It not only does what you want but 100's of other things as well.
    I am not a huge fan of hosted solutions and Magento is free to use.

    Thanks Nigel
    I like the look of Magento Go but for eCommerce it is not free. Not this side of the pond anyway

    And the mCommerce seems very expensive compared with others


    Best Regards

    Thanks Rashida but they appear to be charging a transaction fee.
