Low-cost: low production/shipping prices

No intermediary payment: financial transaction directly between buyer and webshop (no HTC involvement)

Print-on-demand: produce individual orders when they are placed
Should-haves
Important requirements, but not vital for selection.

Multiple admins: allows more than one community member to manage community account

Comments
@aschrijver: - A comparison of Print-On-Demand webshops by PlaceIt
- Note: all shops focus on having artists make a profit, not offering (non-profit) t-shirts.
@patm: - Want to add here that if we get our youtube channel going, we can sell the T-shirt on it. This image shows something I looked at today.
