I have developed two small applications that I think people would find useful. I am a frequent visitor of Planet-Source-Code.com, and I do a lot of code sharing there. For these applications, I think that they might be useful enough for people to buy. I am not interested in starting a company, or dealing with the whole website design and marketing maze. I have considered selling it on EBay, but it would not be very honest to sell the software as purchased software if I wrote the code, and I doubt anyone would buy it if they knew that it’s just a guy writing code in his basement.
Where can I go to sell my software?

More to the point is who wrote the code. It is a tricky step now. If it was written in PPL, Pearl,JAVA,Ruby or any Open Source code on a NON Proprietary platform, like Linux, then you are encouraged to share or sell whatever you did,made work better or fixed.
You can try to sell a program to anyone. I wish you luck on that. Read the fine print of the EULA.
I use the GPL1,2,2.2
