Selling anything in America is incredibly difficult even when you make design and or manufacture your own products.

Amazon controls the connection to the customer.

Walmart/Family Dollar control pricing.

Stamps.com controls independent shipping/stamps.

Stripe and the major card companies take a chunk of fees for credit card transactions.

eBay controls the consumer reseller market. (FB Marketplace, etc. are designed for local, not national, sales)
