I sell physical records via bandcamp, friendly DIY distros/shops/stores and sometimes with a stand on public events.
But I have only a few albums available as a physical record. I mostly trade digital now.
For digital releases, I work with bandcamp and Zimbalam or Routenote.
They all are not free services, you have to pay to sell your album on their platforms and/or iTunes, Amazon, emusic etc.
I don't pay anything to upload an album onto Bandcamp and Routenote, but every time someone buys something from OB/W, they charge me. Bandcamp: 15% per transaction (and also PayPal charges me 5% + $0.30, that's per transaction). Routenote: 15%.
Every OB/W release via Zimbalam costs me an up front fee of £29.99 for the distribution of each release.
Below the statements Bandcamp, Zimbalam and Routenote made available (until june 2017):
