I love your work and though I unfortunately don't have the time to hand build a keyboard these days, I was going to ask if you'd considered something like Wordpress + WooCommerce and using PayPal to process your orders.

Etsy and Shopify fees are horrendous as a small independent vendor. That plus having to consider shipping and packaging costs on top of your other administrative stuff adds up real fast.

I’ll have to look into that. The fees for this on Etsy are only about $11. A big reason I stick with that platform though is that I don’t have to pay for marketing/ads, the platform kinda does it for me.

The shipping part does suck though, I have to basically just factor that out of any profit because without their “free shipping guarantee” you get placed worse in search.
