I too am pissed off. After 2 months of allowing the marketplace sales, I shut it off. I too didn't see an increase in volume (even factoring summer slowdowns). Last month I made $24 from the marketplace that should have been $180. Since they accepted venture capital funding the are not the same cafepress. I keep hoping that they come to their senses. I've decided to keep my regular stores because it's just not worth moving and doing the setup. (I have over 700 designs.) I would strongly suggest not to go the independent printing and selling route. A lot of time and money for not a big enough payoff. T-shirt licensing isn't what it once was but the direct to catalog market can be lucrative. Don't forget to complain to cafepress. Maybe if enough of their bigger vendors complain, they will come to their senses. Hi,

Don’t forget to complain to cafepress. Maybe if enough of their bigger vendors complain, they will come to their senses.

I have been thinking about doing something with t-shirts and who to go with recently so I'm new to all this. Once you figure out which one is the best let me know. Wow that was a lot of reading.
