 * Hi all-
    I’ve seen tons of cool WP sites out there-they’ve all got different 
   plugins and stuff and look really cool! So I have 0 coding experience in any 
   programming language but would like to make an e-commerce website. It’ll be extremely
   simple-we’ll be selling 2 products. We’ll have a banner, a logo, and a bit of
   text. We’re hoping to use PayPal to accept payments-no setup fee, no monthly 
   fee, no other fees, just 2.9% of the sales price plus 30 cents. Any other service
   would be too complicated. So the question is: Could I make such a website using
   WordPress? Nothing fancy, just two images, a simple banner, and a PayPal payment
   processor. Thanks so much.

 * I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t. Just setup WordPress first (so you know
   what you’re working with) and try this plugin:

 * Thanks, James. Two questions:
    (1) To set up wordpress, is there any coding involved?
   Do I just download wp and upload it via ftp to my site?
 * (2) Do I still use PayPal with this plugin?
 * The plugin looks like the kind of thing I am looking for.
 * Many thanks.
