Ebay is n1.. On ebay artist will make 10k a month on etsy he will get lucky to make $300.. And all digital artists and print makers wont make $100.. no one really like prints for more then $10.. and etsy is full of art from china spamming with cheap bad q unstructured paintings and its is impossible to find anything good. Ebay is evil and that’s why is so good. Without evil there cannot be good.

Hi,

Nice list, I didn’t know about some of these so will check them out.

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

Copy from comments;
CafePress or Zazzle. 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.
