Thread: Easy to use e-commerce software

i'm looking starting web shop digital items, , have been searching appropriate e-commerce software use. i've got domain can use started, php/mysql/etc, i'm sure job, software opt for?

far i've seen

• oscommerce, open source , long tradition, though possibly bit dated now?
• batavi, building on oscommerce, more date seen comments it's difficult install
• virtuemart, runs part of joomla cms
• ubercart, plugin drupal
• magento, community edition open source, miss that's in paid versions?

...and few more. since takes quite bit of time know either of these enough know strengths , weaknesses, thought i'd ask pointers. i'd choice free , ideally open source, , if possible i'd rather avoid spending massive amount of time setting things up. on other hand, won't need massive amount of features basic solution should okay.

background, know way around shell , can install , configure stuff confidence, though haven't done in way of web pages many years, , don't know php or mysql more basic fundamentals.

in advance help!

zen cart easiest configured "out of box" , has own cms easy alterations. ymmv, it's option consider.
