Following recent changes on policies of Draft2Digital and Barnes and Noble, I thought I should share my experience on how to set up a cost effective writer website, with one-time-fee-plugins that give you a shopping cart and a squeeze form to grow your newsletter, and so keep your costs manageable. Take a look!

@dilmandila What sales tax/VAT jurisdiction do you sell in? I did some retail at science fiction conventions years ago and found that dealing with sales taxes made was almost more trouble than it was worth.(This was before E-Bay and other online sales platforms so there was no support in those days...)

@ElyseMGrasso I mostly don't bother with that, since I have not registered for VAT and I doubt if I'll ever make enough sales to reach their threshold, which is 150m (about $40,000) in a year. So now at the end I will simply pay tax off any profit that remains.

@dilmandila That's fortunate. There are ways of handling the hundreds? thousands? of US sales tax jurisdictions online which had not yet been created during my retail days, but it is not practical to try to run an online shop without going through some kind of aggregator who can manage the sales tax insanity. Aside from the need to track changes in the tax rates that need to be collected, there are fees for being allowed to collect sales tax in many of the taxing jurisdictions.
