Very nice ecommerce software version 3 is still free. Needs to be installed on server but lunarpages has fantastico that actually has a few ecommerce scripts (at no cost to you) and installs it on the server. Very user friendly and easy if you are not familiar with script installation. You also get $700 worth in free software from coffeecup.com.
I host my sites with lunarpages for about 2 years now, never had a problem and I am very happy with their services.
Hope this helps :)
