You should set it up as a business page and not a private account and then you can add your online store to the page if you have an online store on your site. That way people can purchase your product right off facebook.

I have one for action recon

Stuff looks cool, I love glass etching and have some really cool stuff that was done by the Haida Indian Tribe on the West Coast of Canada.

yeah, this definitely needs to be a 'page' not a 'profile'.

Reason I went with a profile is so people could see the updates in their main stream, seems like I never see page updates, maybe the pages I "like" don't update much...

Store looks great, just wouldn't work for this since it is all custom stuff. Might do that for some of my other stuff though. Do they take a cut?

No they don't take a cut. It links back to your actual store, that is where the transaction takes place, but it allows people to peep your goods with out leaving facebook. It is only once they have clicked the "buy" button that it will re-direct them into your actual store to complete the purchase.

I like the etched glasses. They look really cool.

Are you guys on Etsy? That's a pretty good site for folks selling handmade goods. Chestnut Growler (Swaggerin' Growlers)'s fiancee, Annie Libertini (former Growler, current Gobshite) sells her handmade leather masks there. I think she does pretty well.

Etched glasses I have to thank New Republic Steve for the awesome stencil work. As for Etsy, so far we are just doing custom made to order stuff so Etsy wouldn't really work for that.
