Hi Tulio, thanks again for the support you have shown for the site. I used to sell t-shirts from the site but the deal I had was never more than a breakeven proposition. I am looking into other items (coffe mugs with a WIX logo etc...). I will have to look into the IRS thing, they have so many loop holes that I might as well try and get it to work for me for once.
