Yeah, but that will happen whatever your retail set-up as long as your enterprise is fairly small -- eBay, website, brick-and-mortar store.
I like it myself. I figure people are responsible for themselves and they'll buy what they want to buy -- but I definitely know what you mean. And I don't have the extra "pressure" of selling something I made myself!
You also have to learn how to discern "friendly repeat customer" from "crazy trouble down the road" but I've had pretty good luck thus far.
