I have a social community website which features a jobs tab. My developer has integrated Paypal Payments Pro with it. Currently when a member checks out on the checkout page, it displays an option to purchase the job through Paypal or click the drop down box and select a a credit card visa, mastercard, etc.Um ... from what you've written it sounds like you've already got a working solution.
Why change what's already working?

I would like to get this setup with a 3rd party cart. Can anyone recommend what cart to use?Well, since you're posting on the website for Zen Cart, the only answer you should expect here is "Zen Cart".
newbie3233:
is there a fee for these cartsZen Cart is free. As in ... you pay nothing to download the software, and you're free to install it on your own website without paying anything to Zen Cart to do so.
newbie3233:
and do they take a percentage of each transaction?Zen Cart doesn't take any percentages from any transactions. Zen Cart simply facilitates the exchange of transactions between your website and your payment processor based on your customer's instructions.
newbie3233:
I would imagine zen-cart is the good one here?A little biased, but yes.
newbie3233:
If you can give me any other pointers to look for when setting this up I would appreciate it. Was reading the Paypal Payment Pro manual 100 pages and wanted to jump out a window.Um ... you don't need the PayPal manual in order to use PayPal with Zen Cart. Setup is easy: http://www.zen-cart.com/getpaypal

I am looking for a simple credit card checkout card something close to a craigslist cc checkout.
Zen Cart is WAY MORE than that. It's a complete ecommerce system which houses your product database and allows people to add those products to their shopping cart and checkout using whatever payment processors you've configured it to use, and provide real-time shipping quotes using whichever carriers you've configured it to use, and store those order details, send email notifications to customers, allow them to login and review order status, and much more.
See https://www.zen-cart.com home page for more details on what it can do.
