Kaleikonos, do you mean you want to be able to sell prints of your work? The image files would need to be in .jpg format then. Cafe Press are good - I've got a couple of shops there, and have been pleased with the quality so far. The basic shop is free and you can pay for a premium shop which gives you more choice of what to sell and how you want your shop to look. There's a good community forum and help pages there too. You could give it a try by setting up the basic shop first to see how it all works as that won't cost you a penny. You might also like to try Artwanted.Com. I joined them recently. You can have a free gallery page similar to here, and if you upgrade your membership you can be in the print program, which basically enables you to sell your prints aswell. Image files will need to be in jpg format though. Both of these require a small subscription in terms of membership upgrade to sell your work but it might be worth it in the long run. You can set your own prices too.
If you wanted to just sell computer images as backgrounds, wallpapers or something then I reckon it would be necessary to set up your own site. There are also web hosting packages which provide you with the tools to sell stuff.
Best of Luck.
