Try Zazzle instead. They don't charge to set up a shop. The seller shops at cafepress don't work properly and are outdated and Cafepress is not doing anything to fix them yet they charge money for them.

Hi, i would like to know if Someone has heard about cafepress.com? it[s good place to sell designs?

Not really an answer but FAA and the paid account means everything is available on Pixels. All kinds of products and you only have to do the work once.

$30 a year is not much to pay for a linked personal gallery and you can also drop links in your own personal website if you have one.  https://pete-klinger.pixels.com/  prints, home decor, apparel, tech items, puzzles, paper products. Personally Zazzle was complicated and I sold nothing, same for Red Bubble and Etsy is a joke.

FAA/Pixels I get returns for my time.

Society6 is complicated, but they match the dimensions to the product, so you won't get some Frankenstein crop of your images. They are trying to make the offerings match the product, for the benefit of the artists and for the buyers experience. I can understand why some people find the site unfriendly as you either have to create many versions, large pixel dimensions and different crops, or only offer things that are for the basic format.

After trying a number of different POD sites, I ended up with FAA/Pixels as the only one that seems to work for me.

Nice, I have a question. With premium plan paying $30  year at FAA they will give promotion and publicity to the sellers or we have to do it?

They have generally good Google SEO, but they don't pretend other than you have to do the promotion work. Any sales I get there are just luck. All the premium plan does is let you upload more than a small number of files. Oh, and I think you only get your own pixels subsite (your-name.pixels.com) if you pay. They claim it's 'fully customisable' - it's anything but, there are only tiny tweaks you can do. But at least you can direct buyers to your 'own' site, either directly or via your blog, social media etc, and they won't be distracted by other people's work.

You can see that many people just use the site for fulfilment. A proportion of files which sell have no keywords or caption at all (I first discovered this accidentally one day when I wondered who a man was whose photo had sold: the title was very generic like Portrait 43 and when I clicked in, there was no info (caption or keywords) on the photo).

I suspect there may be paid placement, but I haven't proved this and in the past, they've denied it. Sometimes a large search term is completely dominated by one contributor: sometimes their work is excellent and sometimes IMO not so much (tastes differ, of course).
