Open a PayPal account and all will be revealed to you. You can create a shopping cart or PayPal buttons for your items. PayPal will take a percentage of the sale and a transaction fee, depending on the method of purchase. (PayPal, C/C, Debit Card, etc)

As for whether you pay tax depends on your location, income, business model, etc. You should consult your accountant for more details. Or just do it!

Then it will be difficult to impossible to open a PayPal account. Consult your parents.

I use PayPal, and it works flawlessly The only thing is, well, I'll use an example...

I'm selling my WW2 Destroyed Town Pack for $8.00.

When someone buys it, I make $7.47. It's not much of a dent

Plus, setting up 'Buy Now' or 'Donate' buttons is very easy. I know that Webs supports PayPal, or you can use an HTML editor. Like the ones here on the GC Forums.

If you have any questions, let me know

Cheers and if you sell models, all the best to 'ya

[edit] Sorry, forgot to add that whenever someone makes a purchase, you can see a notification of it in the e-mail you provide PayPal. Then, you'd send the buyer the model/item. I've successfully done this and can confirm that PayPal is great indeed
