Webstore help and advice

Hi all dear mates.
I am intending to start a business by selling my art and to be more precise in fact by selling a "How to" video of my art.
The business plan is this: I do very simple abstract floral watercolors and one may even have the corresponding line art for free, but high quality finished work and a how-to video will ship on a very low price such as $1 or so.
Now please let me know where is the best place to sell my art: Facebook or Instagram, as I am tired of creating a personal webpage.... it costs too much and I am not familiar with technical issues and there is a very weak support here and my website was a real nightmare....
I have read about how to make a shop on mentioned tools, but I do not know how to manage sales, I mean how may I send the video to the customer while they pay using paypal...
All guidance would be appreciated.The sample image is almost what I do and hope you find it inspiring.

majid, I don't know a thing about Facebook, but I know a number of crafts people here in the u.s.a. that do all their selling on Facebook. they all tell me they are getting good results... several have even abandoned their websites and do all their selling and promotion this way. best of luck with your new venture.

Majid, have you tried SquareSpace, VERY easy to put a gallery / store page together!

Thanks Richard. Now I have thee domain and am putting the materials together and when it finished will buy a host. I hope using Facebook and Instagram increase the chance of being seen and share my joy with the others.
