Online distribution, cd cases, payment, etc.

Hey dudes and dudettes!

My band was discussing last night about the stuff in the post title.

What sites are out there that let bands sell music and merch?

Where do you guys get cds/jewel cases, etc?

I'm assuming a paypal account would be needed and we're trying to figure out if we can start a joint or band account somehow so it's not on a single one of our names.

Just feeling around for our first real release.

Bandcamp is where it's at, you can do digital and physical stuffs. Dunno about joint paypal accounts, I guess you could always make one linked to a joint bank account you all have access to.

All PayPal accounts need an attached Bank Account, so yeah, you could have a joint bank account that is linked to the 'band' PayPal etc.
To sell music and merch.. Id' say use CD baby for distro. It allows for physical and digital through iTunes and others etc.
For Merch, is it BigCartel that I'm thinking of? There's a few avenues you could look at
