actually, no.

they want a monthly user fee :(

that's a non-starter...

i'm in a kind of a frustrating scenario with online sales of any sort. i would rather buy my own domain and set up my own store to avoid paying twenty transaction fees. right now, if you buy a file at bandcamp, you pay bandcamp & you pay paypal. if we could get around both of them...

the thing is that i just don't sell enough to make that feasible. i'm pretty technical; i could figure that out. but, it doesn't make any sense for me to shell out monthly fees when i'm not hardly pulling anything in.

the basic math is that i need to have more revenue than costs before i can move to any kind of paid service, and it just doesn't make sense to pay anybody hosting fees until i'm relatively confident i can recoup the costs.

so, i need to start off with the free sites, and, one day, if i build enough of an audience, i can set up my own transaction sites.

it looks like it's payhip or gumroad, and i'll have to take a closer look next week.
