Where besides CafePress can I have a turnkey sticker shop?

I designed a couple of bicycle stickers for myself/friends. I found that I enjoyed the process and designed a few more, and have ideas for a few more still. I'd like to sell these stickers online with as little trouble as possible, i.e. someone places an order, the website takes a cut and handles the printing, shipping, billing etc.

This is what CafePress does. I did a trial sticker (self-link) there, and thought the quality was ok. However, they offer a limited selection of sticker sizes and their base prices are somewhat high (I wouuld partially mitigate this by printing three bike-size stickers onto one standard-sized bumper sticker).

There have been past questions that recommend sticker printing places, but none that also handle the transactions. I do recognize that printing them that way is a lot cheaper, but I don't want to deal with the payment/shipping hassles.

CafePress is ok, but I want to check out the competition.

I'm not going into this expecting big bucks. If I could cover the $7/month or whatever CafePress charges for a premium store, and then clear $10/month beyond that, I'd be happy that I'd be getting some stickers out there and making some extra pocket money.

makestickers.com is really cool, but I don't think they'll handle the commission stuff for you...

Check out Shopify. Not sure it's exactly what you're after, but it's helped with a lot of people I know.
