I quit Cafepress because of this and told them in not so many words they sucked big time and Zazzle was 100 times better. They replied very politely. I think the best way to show your displeasure is close your account and let them know how you feel about their greedy business practices

Right. Just another agency * the artists dry, so to speak.

Ok! Please add other on this list and reasons!

Hi Borg,

good post!

I had previously in one micro stock site over 1000 images (still have some old images there), having regular sales, but unfortunately new changes and continually lowered commission reduced monthly income below 150.00 USD.
Now I have less than 150 images in prime.500.px and have 1 sale/month, but it’s over 150.00 USD (additionally one exclusive use request $2500USD with 70%).

So I don’t see much sense to feed agencies who offering commissions below 50%.

BR,

Kalevi

P.S. why they think, we are kind of slaves. We need to start revolution against the agencies who offering commissions below 50%!

Why, why, WHY does anyone work with this company?

Not sure if everyone knows this, but it's worth mentioning in this discussion that Redbubble lets you set your royalty rate per product. And, in my opinion, sells better quality products than CafePress and Zazzle, often for slightly cheaper prices so it's not a hard sell for your customers to move over to Redbubble.

Everyone would be doing a whole lot better in the POD market if more people ditched the crooks at CP and moved over to decent places like Redbubble.

@borg mind if I repost your earnings graphic on twitter?

No! Just do it!

P.S.
Come on people, post others, don't be afraid... I think that CP is not so lonely for this list..

I know, I know that is 3%, but I can't help myself...

I have to show you again... It seems that I am a pro!

Shocking! Which club is that I'm glad I'm not with?

BORG, RUN!!! Why still there? You are good enough to get sales, but not good enough to compensate?
