I think Paypal has "add to cart" options as well but it is only available to the business accounts with merchant tool options.

You could code a custom script to save the products, and at the "check out" point, generate a paypal link for the user to send the payment.

I believe you can also find similar ones at HotScripts.com

Wow.. Thanks guys.But just one note, if my sellers are expected to be in singapore or maybe asia,is it a good choice to use pay pal ??. Is there any other alternative.I saw a few sites that integrate their own billing system and shopping cart on their site.Which means once they press the check out button,it's off to enter cc details.If CC is not possible,than i'am just looking for the sofware that has shopping cart.

well paypal does not accept SGD if that is what you are looking at. Currently I only know of WorldPay (http://www.worldpay.com) that accepts SGD but the setup fee is pretty expensive. As for other alternatives, you can try Paysystems or 2checkout. They are other CC payment processors that can be integrated with OScommerce or other shopping carts.

OScommerce is free open-source script. It can be downloaded at http://www.oscommerce.com
I think they have add-ons for the various payment processors which are also free for download from their website.

I think worldpay is the only one that allows you to accept CC in SGD.

OSCommerce is merely a script to help you generate the orders. For payments and financial transactions you will need to turn to a merchant service. Yes, www.worldpay.com is the best fit for you if you are transacting in terms of S$.
