• Free - oscommerce
• Free - ubercart
• Free - fishcart

Although these solutions are essentially free, you will still need to pay for hosting. However, hosting is not the only cost to take into consideration as set-up costs can be extensive, especially if you have no idea how to use a web based programming language.
