You should definitely create an e-store. It is much better to have your own brand. Plus, the cost of creating an e-store is minimal (you can create one with less than $3/month).

I agree that you definitely need a web presence for your business. BoyBlu.net has an easy to use, low cost online store called Quick Shopping Cart. It allows you to accept PayPal and credit cards, offer multiple shipping options, issue coupons -all via your secure site. And there’s NO "percentage of sales" fee!
You should check it out. Here’s a direct link. http://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop/ecommerce/shopping-cart.asp?ci=1807&prog_id=BoyBlu
