Best ecommerce CMS -
PayPal
If you just have a few products and don't need the full features of a shopping cart CMS then have a look into PayPal 'buy now' buttons. This is the easiest platform to get started with - all you do is copy and paste some code into your website (under the product description) and everything is taken care of for you. So you could get a Wordpress/Joomla/Modx site built and just paste the code in anywhere... very simple and all the book keeping is done through PayPal.
Magento
For full features go with Magento - hands down the best designs and is a relatively new CMS that doesn't have outdated code. There is lots of free templates but it does take some knowledge to customize the CMS so go with a pro if you want any extras.
Joomla virtuemart
If you have a social community site then go with Joomla because they are he best. It doesn't come with a shopping cart but the virtuemart add on is easy to use and give you everything you could need.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tib bit of information.
Yes adding the PayPal button is easy on sites. I have it on my blog as well.
I never heard of Magento so I have to look into it.

I prefer native CMS for e-commerce, but I can suggest these new cms for e-commerce sites that can be easy to use for non-techie users, try platform2u, it is the only cms platform for e-commerce that is complete with amenities like payment gateway and such.

I tried using Joomla and I did not find it too easy to use as others claim it was. I will check out the others. Thanks.
