I use Opencart to distribute freebies as XML, IAR, or OAR files from FleepGrid, see <a href="http://fleepgrid.com/store/">http://fleepgrid.com/store/</a> as an example and the Opencart software is open source and available at <a href="http://www.opencart.com/">http://www.opencart.com/</a>. Though I only use the payment code in Opencart to accept donations through PayPal, it has multiple payment method options built in if you intend to sell your items for money, including PayPal, Google Wallet (or whatever they're calling it these days), and several others, and it's a nice online catalog with categories and search options.<div>
<br></div><div>Another option is to sell the items directly on your grid using something like the Open Metaverse Currency module from VirWox - <a href="https://www.virwox.com/omc-open-metaverse-currency.php">https://www.virwox.com/omc-open-metaverse-currency.php</a> - but I can't really vouch for that personally since I haven't used it and I'm very leery of anything involving Real Money Transfer (RMT) on any of my grids since Opensim is still alpha software and even the developers themselves caution against it. </div>
<div><div><br></div><div>Yet another option is to try to hook up with the few sites that seem to be selling Opensim content for money. Maria Korolov keeps tabs on content sites (freebie and otherwise) at <a href="http://www.hypergridbusiness.com/opensim-content-providers/">http://www.hypergridbusiness.com/opensim-content-providers/</a>. Again, I can't vouch for any of the payment sites since I haven't used them, but if you don't want to host your own site or install a currency module, that might be your best option.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One thing to consider if you plan to distribute your items on the web is the file format you use. The upside of XML format is the files can be imported by any user with a compatible viewer like Imprudence, but the downside is XML only exports objects and textures (if not on Second Life) and not inventory contents like scripts and animations. This means XML files are of limited use, good for static objects with no scripts, animations, or inventory contents. </div>
<div><div><br></div><div>IAR and OAR files, on the other hand, can contain scripts and other items, but can only be loaded by users with console access, which isn't very useful for those who are on grids that don't offer console access, so you have to pick your poison depending on what type of item you want to distribute and who you plan to distribute it to - end users or those with admin access (or both).</div>
