Yahoo Merchant is easy, but (if memory serves me) about $39.95 a month plus a
transaction fee.

I have set up Agora (Perl)(comes with some hosting accounts).  I don't
particularly like it, but it is easy to setup a basic store.

I've heard good things about OSCommerce (PHP).

These are all overkill for a single CD; but will all take less effort than
writing your own.
