3) You've nearly nothing to support, there are always people that don't know how to order/download/etc. - but that's not your problem as it's not your site - the site will handle this support - the only customers you've to deal with are the ones sending requests, etc.
4) Traffic for all kinds of (micro-)niches is usually there - try to get a good amount of high quality (micro-)niche traffic and you'll see how important that is for small stores

So ... if that's all so fucking easy - why don't you start a competitive site? Could earn you huge money if it's easy done - right?
