I'm looking at opening a store, and I'd like to know what scripts people use and what they think of them as there are a few out there.
I imagine some of you have coded your own, which is above my depth, but what about the rest of you?
Thanks

I have used Agora in the past for a shopping cart and I liked it.
By AWS I mean Amazon Web Services (I think that's what it's called), so what I'm looking for is a script to create categorized product listings linked to Amazon.com .
Per your first questions, I haven't used any of the free scripts floating around so I can't comment on that.
I've created my own AWS script using PHP. More info on that can be found here.

Thanks for the link, just read it all. It seems most people are using custom scripts they created themselves and the others are using modified scripts from elsewhere. I wish I learnt PHP not ASP because then I could modify PHP scripts easily and slap them on my hosting.
If you work out how to use ASP with SOAP, it could be done just as easily.
I use Mr Rat's script, with the htaccess 'hack'. It has been slow to get started for me - there're just so many AWS-powered sites out there now.
My metal-focussed site (which has two domains pointed to it) is slowly picking up as far as traffic is concerned, but no real sales (just 1 or 2 items, if I'm not counting the 9 I bought for Xmas presents!). The pages are being indexed nicely by Google, though (8,000 or so this morning... my other AWS store has 30,000 or so indexed).
FWIW, Mr Rat's script is CGI.

I was going to use Mr Rat's script, but didn't really want to shell out $50 for search engine friendly urls using mod_rewrite. So I have made my own (well, kinda) with the help from chromate and a tutorial.
Don't you just love free internet games ?
Yeah, I think $50 is a bit rich - I was lucky enough to get it before the guy started charging for it. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it, because I've made perhaps $30 in 3 months from using it LOL
Is there somewhere I can see your AWS script in action?
Update - 4 items ordered last night. Time to plan my retirement

There will be in the next week or so

I'm not interested in using ASP to write it because my hosting and the rest of my site that will be using it is built in PHP.
Can someone please point me to Mr Rat's script?
Thanks .

The mod_rewrite 'hack' is sold seperately by a user known as 'Nintendo' for $50 - he posts on Mr Rat's forum, should you wish to get it from him... or you could just do it yourself for free

I recommend the latter rather than the former option
Does anyone know of a tutorial about creating your own in PHP? I've tried Mr. Rat's script but I don't need a full store.

I better get started learning PHP, SSI, and .htaccess, mod_rewrite and so on (I was going to do it one day anyway but it looks like a good time to start)...
I've seen Nintendo wandering around Sitepoint too.
