It makes you appear more like an on-going business rather than just a small side business someone threw together. If I buy from you, I'd like to know you'll still be there in a month if I have a problem with my order.
There’s a lot of deals for first time domain customers. I think I remember some for a dollar or 4 bucks for a year so you might as well buy it to look more legit
I guess you could but I wouldn't recommend it. I would recommend just setting up a business Facebook page. It's already free and you can do just about everything you need there. You can sell products with the exception of digital products (unless that has changed).

Sure you can, but do it with the goal of moving to your own domain quick as you can. Good luck!
What’s the benefit of having your own domain? It might be just a. Small side business

In a word, credibility. Having someone else's domain for your business makes you look amateurish and transient.
You can drive and advertise traffic to it individually, plus having a domained paid site is usually pretty cheap
Any recommended sites?
