there are currently no off-the-shelf shopping carts for use on Google App Engine

is the only solution on GAE at the moment to bespoke your own?

what has other people done in terms of a shopping facility on GAE?

A: 

There are some apps in the App Gallery tagged ecommerce which seem to fit the bill.

unfortunately, only one of them is downloadable, certainly nothing comparable to some of the open source php web carts

Well, PHP has been around a lot longer, and has a much larger user base than App Engine.

+1  A: 

PayPal is offering a new open source toolkit for Google App Engine that lets you integrate Java apps running on App Engine with the new PayPal Adaptive Payments API. The Adaptive Payments API lets developers embed payments into their apps, services, and platforms.

Here is a link to the google appengine blog: paypal-introduces-paypal-x-platform

There will be a Python version of the toolkit coming out soon, PayPal says.
