Don't know which of these would be best suited for me,
Magento
OsCommerce
Zen Cart
Wordpress

1 site will be static info on services ect (Intro/Photo Gallery/Contact)

Other will be ecommerce to target repeat eBay customers to my website instead of my eBay shop-all going to be 2nd hand stuff Just paypal.
 
My advice would be to take a look at the demos of each of the systems you name above and find one that you feel most comfortable using.

It sounds like you only need a simple system so something like OScommerce might be a bit bloated. Never used Zen so can't really comment on it. There are a number of wordpress plugins available that offer a simple shopping cart system.
 
ive used 2 of these for shops Magento and Oscommerce

i had nothing but trouble with oscommerce, website kept getting hacked and ads were embedded in my code among other things

cubecart is better than oscommerce, but for me Magento was the best by far

only problem is theres not a lot of skins available for Magento theres a couple of nice free ones, but you may end up buying a custom skin
 
Been looking about & Magento looks really good & has quite a few raving reviews
Seen quite a few negative comments about Oscommerce so removing it from my shortlist.

Will have a look at cubecart
