There is a decent shopping cart script you can use that is at
http://www.htmlgoodies.com
They provide easy to follow directions, etc. Selena Sol's Extropia Software site
also has a good shopping cart script package, though they charge for it (I don't
know how closely they are actually tied to Exi). You can also try Everysoft,
which has a decent auction script and other scripts available. The auction
script can do dutch, multiple item, and other auction features typically seen on
ebay.
