yeah, we’ve done 2 releases. one with Tunecore, the other with Reverbnation; other services are available, e.g. Bandcamp. The reason we chose RN for the second one was that the price for Tunecore had gone up from about $24 to nearer $40 for a “single”
Both Tunecore & Reverbnation are US-based so all transactions in US$; you pay a fixed fee depending on how many tracks you’re uploading, then 6-8 weeks later, the royalties from on-line sales come rolling in… or not 😉
Both have a minimum balance though before you can draw down your funds – I think it’s $20 in both cases, but I could be wrong.
Reverbnation also has an on-line store where you can put your tracks for download, and I don’t think there’s a fee, although they will take a cut of any sales. You can also set up some on-demand merchandise for not a lot of outlay, if that floats your boat. I have a few samples that I set up, the t-shirt’s ok if a little thin (American Apparel IIRC), the baseball cap is fine
