You can get some great icons from here:
http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.cat.1.html
Okay, this is what I do for items, create 3 versions of each image, 1 64px by 64px, 1 200px by 200px, 1 350px by 350px
Via FTP create a new folder in ./images, call it shop, in ./images/shop create 2 new folder, call one 200px and the other icons.
Upload the 350px images to ./images/shop/
Upload the 200px images to ./images/shop/200px/
Upload the 64px images to ./images/shop/icons/
admin panel/Experience/Manage Shop, there you will see
Add Category, click that and create a category, do this for all the categories you wish.
Now you can add items to which ever category you want, back in Manage Shop you will see your created categories, to the right of each category you will see
Edit Items, click that and then click
Add item then add your first item.
To get the images to show you need to add their addresses in the image entry fields whilst adding items.
For Title add the items name
For Description add a brief description of the item
For Picture add /images/shop/yourimagename.jpg
For Thumb add /images/shop/200px/yourimagename.jpg
For Icon add /images/shop/icons/yourimagename.jpg
For Display Order add the number to correspond with where in the list you wish the item to appear, for 7th place add 7 and so on.
For Quantity you add how many of the items you want to be available for purchase overall.
For Costs add how many points you require your members to pay for that item
For Costfield, use the dropdown menu and choose the field you want your members to have to use to buy that item.
When you have added all the items you want in that Category remember to click
Generate icons/name for postbit
