As the title says really.
I currently use coppermine but I would like to sell images online receiving payments via paypal. Can this be done in coppermine or is there something else out there for zero money, like Zen Cart but more of an image gallery
 
You could go with the Zencart route as it allows delivery of digital files. I have been learning about zencart as I am setting it up for a client and it allows for digital file delivery if you set your images up as the items.

To provide a watermarked preview of images, something like the Image handler contribution/addon could be used.

There are other contributions that provide lightbox style image previews if that is what you are after also but I can't name any offhand. I don't know how familiar you are with php or Zencart. It may seem overkill but if you are looking for a storefront, it's ideal once you get it looking the way you want!

I use a modified version of coppermine combined with a Paypal shopping cart. It's not too difficult to acheive, just some minor modifications to the theme php code.

It's a manual business process though, I get the email from Paypal with all the details then order the print from Photobox who send it direct to the buyer and accept Paypal payment so no cash flow issues. It might be a bit time consuming if you get busy but I've found it OK so far but then again I've only sold one photo :(

(FYI, your site messes up at a resolution of 1920*1200)
