Does an F-2 visa allow online business?

Hi,

I know that F-2 visa doesn't allow any kind of employment with a payroll, but what about having an online shop?

I'm currently living in the US on an F-2 visa (my husband is a student). I really have nothing to do since I'm not allowed to work and I'm thinking to start a small online shop selling my artwork. Is this OK? Will I break the law if I do this?

Is receiving a bank transfer or a check (but not payroll) lawful for my case? And what about using PayPal?

Please help me. I'm desperate.
Thank you.
Let me make it clearer. I'm not trying to make a small business like a company or so. What I'm thinking is to make an "online shop account" e.g. eBay, or other marketplace sites.
