querystrings aren't a bad way to go.
the only danger is if your buy-now buttons are links and not forms, search
spiders could get stuck with a querystring. but as spiders dont submit
forms, you can avoid it by using forms to interact with the cart.
it can be a little sticky appending the querystring everywhere, hopefully
your site architecture accounts for it ;)
