That's strange, I have been purchasing digital comics, books and art online for years. Some use WooCommerce, some use Shopify or BigCartel. But they all work, and they get the artist paid.

How do artists have more control if they have to give a cut to a marketplace like OpenSea, and then have to use an exchange to convert useless ETH into food and rent payments?
