Do you take your own photos or do you use stock?
I think you should give it a try. Nowadays chess just don't get enough publicity and this could help. Start off with the basic shop first which is free, then go into premium when u have a bigger collection. I draw most of my own and if taking any pictures from the web, be sure you have the permission or if stated commercial free. Designing takes a lot of time for me, but can be very gratifying with the right passion.
