I don't think setting up an online store is as hard as some of you may believe. I happen to know, I have one: http://elfguy.net/store
I made it myself in a day for free. Now it's pretty basic, since I made it from scratch, but there are so many sites online that allow you to do it easily from a web interface for as little as $5 a month. And even if you don't want to get into that, it's often possible to sell at multiple sites, like RDNA, DAZ, etc.
As for the issue, I think anyone who browses the galleries and forums a bit can easily see it. Just this week several members left and threads were locked once again, and it's usually always the same reason, fed up with this site's policies and how admins apply those policies. But I don't really want to go into the reasons behind the miscontent, this is more to urge vendors to offer their customers with more buying locations. I personally used to spend hundreds of $ monthly here, now it's down to a fraction of that, with the rest being spent at other stores, even though there are things I would want to get from here sometimes. And I know for a fact I'm not alone. I do think it's doing yourselves a disservice not offering your products at more stores.
