I experimented with several just recently, namely:
- WP e-commerce
- Magento
- Zencart
- OScommerce
- Shopp 

By FAR shopp was the easiest and nicest (and no, I have no affiliation
with them).  Quick feedback on each:

- WP e-commerce: horrible support and documentation, couldn't get something 
working and gave up
- Zencart: lots of functionality and it does work, but the interface is fugly 
and you have to be willing to hack it some to get it to work
- OScommerce: very similar experience to Zencart
- Magento: "pretty" interface but you have to invest a lot in learning how to 
customize it using their template system. No simple CSS tweaks here (that I 
could find).
- Shopp: plug and play for me... good docs and support

I'm sure everyone has their favorite, and a lot of it comes down to what you're 
comfortable with.
If I was willing to spend the time to learn Magento's way of doing things, I 
might become a Magento
zealot... but when I can activate Shopp and tweak it with hardly any learning 
curve at all it's hard
to pass up.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [Refresh Austin: 4410] Wordpress ecommerce?


Does anyone have advice on Wordpress ecommerce plugins?  I checked  
through the archives of this list but couldn't find anything.  I'm  
curious what experiences people have had, especially with hardening  
the app/server -- I've been on the wrong end of a WP hack before, and  
it was pretty ugly.  Would rather not have that happen when people's $ 
$ are involved... :-)

thanks in advance for any info,

-TR
