Does anyone have a favorite e-commerce CMS for a product catalog? I'm doing an online fashion store for a friend of mine and he's looking for an easy-to-use CMS to manage his product line.
It basically needs to feature a gallery view, product listing page, and a means to hook up a PayPal shopping cart. Most of the options I've played with either had way too many features, or were badly designed from a UI perspective. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

http://www.shopify.com/both look good, can't vouch for them from a usage point as I've not had the chance to try either but I'm probably going to look at big cartel for the next small client who needs some sort of e-commerce functionality.
I've tried cubecart too but I'd suggest it's probably over-featured and actually quite difficult to use.

I've seen the first two links before, Foxycart is new to me and i'll check it out more, however they are all hosted solutions. What i've been keeping my eye out for is a non hosted solution. There are open source carts out there, as already stated though they are all feature heavy and hard to customise.
- both paid versions of big cartel and shopify offer own domain services. It's only the free ones that are hosted.jamble

Thanks guys. These are definitely useful links...
Not quite what I'm looking for though. BigCartel has a purchasing limit and Shopify still has to be hosted on their server. Ideally I need a simple gallery/CMS with the ability to include a PayPal link for each item. Does anyone else have any ideas? There's gotta be a nice streamlined solution out there!
