It's good to see Artybuzz on the list, I bought a poster from them just before Christmas. With me living in the UK it arrived the next day and delivery was cheap, so it's good for people buying and selling work in the UK and Europe i think. The poster quality was really good too :) Hi,

These two are so similar, I’ll address them both together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok, they are similar no more! Cafepress got GREEDY!!!!!!! They decided, regardless of how many designers they would hurt, to slash commissions paid to the designers. Any design sold through their market place, (where almost all of my sales came from) would no longer be what ever you set above the base price. Oh no! Now it's only 10% of their base price for the item sold. So.... for my best selling designs, I would normally get $5.00 each, now I'm lucky to get 1.82! If this wasn't bad enough, designs in their market place no longer link to your main shop! And they charge a fee for having a "premium" shop too! Many people posted their disgust in their forums. But just mention alternative sites and your post would be deleted. I even got banned from their forums for posting zazzle there. No.... I refuse to help greedy people make money. I have CLOSED my cafepress shop because of their endless greed. Zazzle? Turned out to be real nice. FREE for a shop too. Or more than one if you like. Some people have several shops. No anal policies about mentioning competition in their forums. In fact, they welcomed the influx of cafepress transplants. The only down side is now they have a LOT of designers. But I'm making money there now. And they have a few products cafepress didn't. Shoes for one. I've yet to play with designs for those but I plan to. And their print quality is outstanding. Don't shop or bother with cafepress. Don't feed the greed. Darn shame too. They were good once. Copy from comments;

I have wanted this information for some time now. I have three blogs which at the moment need some structure and individuality but I created them to have more feed back; as it turns out I don’t. I am a member of a few groups Flickr, Etsy, Etsy Cottage Style, Cotton Picken Ranch, SuziBlu, YouTube, Zazzle to name a few but so far it looks like my art just disappears into the vast universe. After searching on Google (how to sell my digital art on line) I came upon your site with all of the information. I didn’t know if there were places that print the art for you with the exception of Zazzle. Most I knew of but didn’t know the criterion for selling this type of art on line; now I do thanks to you. I promised a gal on an art site if I discovered how I would let her know….I will definitely pay it forward. Hope this stuff is what dreams are made of!!! Thanks so much …Very much appreciated.
