I hate cafepress-any sale made through their marketplace only earns you a 10% commission. Did you have to pay to set up a shop?

by Leah-Admin on Wed 30 Nov - 4:15

You can set your own rate of comission Kathy and no there are no fees up front. They take 10% comission from your profits perhaps that's where you got the 10% from?

No, it's their regular terms of service now. Any sale made through the marketplace (not referred from your own website) only earns 10% commission. It's been awhile since they made that change, and I left them because of it - along with several thousands of other shopkeepers/designers. Last I heard, they were also setting prices in the marketplace, but I don't keep up with their tricks..er..I mean, business practices anymore. Cool

Is the marketplace different to having your own shop front?

by Kathy on Tue 27 Mar - 14:46

The marketplace is like a shopping mall-people can see lots of products from different stores, all at the same time. Your shop is like one store in the mall, where only your products can be found.

If someone finds your product by doing a search on the main cafe press home page, it's considered a marketpace sale. 10% commission.

If, however, they click a link from your website (or this forum) and get to your product directly, it's not a MP sale because the customer was directed to cafe press by your sales efforts.

BUT... If your customer goes to the marketplace after placing your product in their shopping cart, and puts anything else in their shopping cart, even though they originated from your website, everything they buy on that transaction reverts back to a marketplace sale and the commission is 10%.

That's how it was when I left.
