Hi everyone,

I'm in the middle of creating a new site, and I need a shopping cart to sell a few products. It needs to be simple and not require alot of brains (I'm not big on the tech). I'm looking at using the Paypal cart but it seems a little suspect.

-Is it really safe to purchase something through a cart thats not even on my site?
-Do I need to buy a SSL Certificate for my site? Or does PayPal provide it?
-What do I learn about my consumers; I need an email and name?
-Is is completely free? Any hidden fees?
-What other options for shopping carts do I have?

Thanks for any advice or experiences you have in regards to PayPal

- Paypal is secure but you can buy something that can make you feel a little safer if you want, i doubt it will make it safer but still.

- Not 100% sure on that one

- Name and email are told to you, if you use paypal as payment processor.

- Paypal charges you as its a payment processor but the cart is free.

- Shopping carts well zencart is one of them.
