Update (functional platforms):

- Yahoo SiteBuilder/Webhosting and PayPal. Documents are created in MS Word, and then converted to PDF with Adobe Acrobat. Google now offers an online word processor software (called "Google Docs") that may eliminate the need for writers to purchase Word. Not sure what the solution is for Adobe Acrobat. I purchased 4.0 years ago to test potential. Maybe Google will come out with a free PDF software. Yahoo SiteBuilder is free. Again, though, I think Yahoo's SiteBuilder pages appear amateurish.

- I'm nearing perfection on a platform that uses Google Page Creator, Base and Checkout, via Payloadz.com. Everything appears to work OK, although my AdWords ad hasn't caused any sales yet.

- Lulu.com works OK, too.

- I tested Ebay a bit, but haven't completely loaded sales information yet, so I don't know if it will work.

Please note that the reason I'm testing so many sales platforms (and the reason I asked people to gather, sorry :-) is because I'm hoping others may be familiar with some of the platforms. Google, for example, is relatively completed to set up, but I managed to stay away from having to write or understand any programming languages. Yahoo is simple, but you have to build a lot of pages. Lulu was super simple.
