    I'm looking to set up an ecommerce site and I have been looking at dedicated open source products like Zen cart and oscommerce. However, I've just stumbled upon word press and their ecommerce plugin.
    Does anyone have any experience of this?
    Can anyone recommend it or are there any complaints about it.

    I recommend Zen Cart. It is very powerful and is designed for e-commerce, unlike Wordpress.

    I am going to assume that this question is for me (Danny <-> daymobrew).

    I would definitely recommend Zen Cart over osCommerce. Look at the list of features on the right of the Zen Cart front page. And read about Zen Cart on Wikipedia.
    Essentially it is osCommerce with a lot of extras as standard. For me the biggest extra is the template system so you don't have to hack the core files (like you have to for osCommerce).
