Not sure if you want to do this either, but there are some open source websites out there that allow you to create your own shopping carts and manage your products, payments, etc. The two I would recomend are Zen Cart and OsCommerce. I prefer Zen Cart, but if you are really into an easy solution, I recently used a company called Daily Razor to host a client's oscommerce site and they actually offered a 1-click installation of the site. The hosting fees were pretty cheap. Anyway, I don't really want to plug them, but I was personally impressed with how easy it was, the problem is that they ONLY support OsCommerce which has about half the functionality of Zen Cart. But both software packages have great forums and users and you they've got a pretty easy user interface to setup a storefront. They also let you use Paypal (cheap credit card processing) and if you ever want to sell actual products (not just downloads), you can link up with USPS and UPS (and more I think).

It takes a little bit of learning, but you can do some good things with either of these shopping carts.

Hope this helps...
