Does anyone know of a good, but easy to use shopping cart that I can install
for my clients to upload their own products, outside of front page? I am on
a unix server.
Thanks

If your hosting account has CPanel, open it and check.
It comes with one or two shopping cart apps.

You could consider a PayPal cart.
 
Paypal's default cart is hosted by them - they take care of the secure
processing etc, so you don't have to worry about it. You have some control
over the look and feel with custom coding of a template to match your site's
design.
 
Yup, and users don't have to have a PayPal account to buy through PayPal by
credit card anymore, so it's really just like any other payment processor.
Definitely the easiest way to sell something online at this point.

Well yes and no..

PayPal is definitely a good option, but they have different plans. The free
one by having a PayPal business account will process sales through a form on
the PayPal site. They have another plan that allows you to process sales
directly on your own site..I think it is called PayPal Premium. not
free..but their rates are competitive to things like authorize.net etc. They
also for a fee will allow you to accept phone orders and process credit card
info through a control panel.

All in all..PayPal has some good choices.

I currently use the Paypal shopping cart, but I need a shopping cart that my
clients can add their own merchandise easily without me doing it. Does
anyone know of one that I could use with my sites? Something where they can
easily log into and insert the items themselves?
thanks,
Lisa

It processes them on their servers, but so do a lot of payment processors,
and that's fine for many web sites.
 
I used the wrong term earlier calling it "Premium" the actual name for
accepting credit cards directly on your site is called "Website Payments
Pro" So the free one where people pay on the PayPal site is called "Website
Payments Standard" and the one that charges a monthly fee and customers pay
on your site is called "Website Payments Pro"

Oyher posts to this thread seem to be focusing on paypal, but when
developing sites with shopping cards, I use a script called Quikstore.
It is a very flexible, customizable script that will handle either a
database type store or html. It will also interface with credit card
companies.

No financial interest. I have just been happy with them

Put the PayPal "add to cart" buttons for each item on your site, that way it
adds to the Paypal cart.

As to shopping carts, I use one called www.oneworldstorefront.com

As chance would have it, it has PayPal capability as well as other payment
options, you host the cart yourself - uses ASP/Access or (I think) MSSql.

There's a free edition - one domain, otherwise it is a pay-for cart,
reasonably priced.
