I would be just to afraid for certain ideas like the shop thing.

One credit card fraud going through my system and i might in a big dept if i did this under a company format which doesn't protect me from personal liability.

While i like the idea very much of getting exercise in this way, i'm wondering what the main motivation is?

I would like to earn money through my own company but only with my product i like and find 'worthy'. Trying out small concepts over and over again, might not bring any fruit in finding the thing you are passionate about and then the question arrives if it wouldn't be much more beneficial to optimize your own career instead.

If you're using a reputable payment processor (like Stripe), they should be handling fraud detection and remediation for you. The real thing to watch out for is using your marketplace to sell illegal things. It was even mentioned that there were people for sale... I'm guessing that was done as a joke but it also happens for real.

I've considered many ideas like that One Item Shop and turned away from them because I wasn't sure how to keep people from listing and selling things that will get me sued out of business or thrown in jail. And at £1.63 in revenue, I'm not hiring a lawyer.

And thats just two things we know about.

I find that passion is much more about investment than inherent joy. When I invest in a project, I become passionate.

I do think its possible to become passinate about things over time.

If you ask me if i want to work on x or y, i will tell you quite easy what i would prefer which i would relate to passion?

Wikipedia would agree on both ways of seeing passion: "Passion (Greek πάσχω "to suffer, to be acted on"[1] and Late Latin (chiefly Christian[2]) passio "passion; suffering" (from Latin pati "to suffer"; participle: passus)) is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something. "

But i think what makes it more interesting or more motivationg for me is that one thing might have something special in comparison to other things i wanna do.

Like if i work on a product which helps the world vs. a product which is 'just a normal product' i might see more reason to work on the first product.

I probably need to ask you what makes you invest in a project.
