Is there any way that I can do this without having to take a crash course in e-commerce?

Obviously, it needs to be safe, but easy to use for both the users and the owner of the site.
The site will may also incorporate a forum.

Is PayPal Express Checkout my best option? or is there another easier option??
The main users of the site will be college & university students - most of which would be PayPal familiar.

If anyone is interested in earing themselves some cash, then please quote for helping to set this site up. I can do design, and setup server and all I can if someone can guide me on using Zen Cart & PayPal, and also on setup of a basic forum, or even just a Shout box - for requests.
The Site will only be for a local audience to start with, then hopefully go national.]]> 12/12/07, 346 09 2007 2007:%i:1197443341 02:09:01 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/business/guidance_required_for_paypal_integration__online_shop/#p2185 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/business/guidance_required_for_paypal_integration__online_shop/#p2186
I don't think paypal allows a 3rd party percentage payment.

You may want to check with some paypal developers on their forums tho.
