Is this spam? Is $800 a lot to pay for shopping cart software?

I'd say yes and yes!
For those people who don't have the skills to deal with a shopping cart there are a load of hosted carts available which remove that side of the worry. For those people who do have the skills to take on a shopping cart there are a wide range of products - quite a few of them either totally free (Zen Cart, OS Commerce or copyrighted Cube Cart) or under $200.
For those people who don't mind spending a bit more there are several very nice, fully accessible shopping carts that use modern coding techniques such as Trading Eye.

And, I have used OSCommerce and that product was the most difficult thing to use you could possibly come up with....
Yes it's supposed to be quite complex.
Being cheap I'd still go for Zen Cart of Cube Cart - both have enough free skins or skins that you can buy fairly cheap that the cost is negligible and at least you'd end up with a site that's got reasonable coding and works well across browsers and is easy to change around as they rely on stylesheets.
EW/DW integration is all very well but if it doesn't work well enough (for instance if it doesn't work cross-browser) then it's not worth it.
The demo that they have on there for the cart is pretty ugly code-wise.
If you wanted something that's totally non-coding then there's always the hosted carts like Shopify - they charge $24pm for up to 1000 products - I've never tried them though.
