You don't have to accept cc directly on your site, people can make payments with their cc through paypal even if they don't have a paypal account. Paypal takes a very small amount off the payments you receive, but it's really not very much... Once your shopping cart is installed, there really isn't much maintenance to do on it, you just upload your products in it very much the same way you upload products here, people buy your products, pay through paypal, the cart sends them a download link automatically once the payment is received and that's it... There are some free shopping carts on the net (Zencart is one of them, that's the one I use) I paid someone to install it for me because I wanted it done by someone who knew what they were doing, but many people install it themselves, apparently it's not that hard. Just thought I'd let you know about this so you stop thinking it's more complicated then it really is and let that stop you... ;)
