Some months ago I got keen on trying to set up Foxycart for my site, but it seemed difficult to set up for selling intangible services, rather than actual things (houses, beds and printed books) or digital files (digital documents, films, and music).

And most critically, it did not seem easy to set up as a way for any member of my site to use, if he or she wants a shop front.

I was hoping that Foxycart would be modular shop system that could be replicated ad infinitum whenever members wanted a way to manage selling their services as editors or translators. I want members to be able to hang out their own independent shingles (shop signs) on a street provided by my network.

Instead, it seems like there are lots of ropes to learn just to set up a single shop for me as a site owner. Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of Foxycart

Ecommerce and Foxycart at Jamroom -- are these intended for one seller per jamroom site, or multiple sellers?

Foxycart, once set up, allows all your users to sell downloads and, by using the Store module, tangible goods.
Suggestion - wait a bit longer for the release of our new Payments module. That is a lot more flexible, hopefully easier to set up and can optionally use FoxyCart, Stripe or PayPay as payment gateways.
