I heard from a trusted source that Creloaded, which is osCommerce with preloaded mods, is the better bet, but YMMV, and I have never needed either option!
I have downloaded both about a Brazillian times, but never actually needed to install either...

I have not used Creloaded but OScommerce has SEO friendly url's with an option to turn them on in the admin section (no extensions are needed).

CRELoaded is just osCommerce with a LOT of good contributions installed. Contributions are osCommerce 'add-ons' and are a must for any real business. I definitely recommend CRELoaded. Unless you're good with PHP then you can get osCommerce and install the contibutions yourself. But CRE saves a LOT of time.

Hi josh1r
Thanks for your input.
Well... I was looking for a good shopping cart system.
I did a lot of research and spent lot of time testing several shopping carts.
In the end I settled with X-cart.
It's not free but the support is great.
And I find X-cart easy and actually quite like the features in it.
Your store is really nice... It is very user friendly!
I guess you are using creloaded?
I do agree Creloaded is better!
How long have you been running your store.?
I remember you put it up for a review.
I must say guys here are really helpful and give an excellent piece of advise.

I haven't tried creloaded but I know that osCommerce can be a bit of a bitch at the best of times 
and would suggest staying away from it
however, you can rewrite the tep_href_link (does anyone know why the hell everything starts with 'tep'?) function and use that in conjunction with mod rewrite to improve your URLs but its a bit fiddly.
there is also zen cart which is very similar i think.

Hi. Thanks for the compliment! Actually, we are not using CRELoaded b/c I didn't know about it until just after we opened our store and I had already manually installed a lot of contributions. Many are quite easy, some are a bit harder. Rewriting the URLs like we did on our store is easy, though many people will tell you it's not necessary.
We've been running the store about 5-6 months, though I've had other osC sites up for years and never really had any problems. www.isplendor.com is another site of mine and that one does use CRELoaded.
