how does the payment method work, like do artist get a certain % of the cost item of their work for lets say.. a t-shirt?

Hi — sorry about your bad experience with RedBubble. When you said “I sell many, many pieces online” — what website do you use to sell all of these? Thanks for letting my readers know about your experience with RedBubble.

I was in redbubble for 2 years (i just cancel my account). During my tertulia there I sold…. zero pieces. And that was a good thing.
So let me explain this a little more.
sold zero… redbubble does not advertise to attract custumers, only other artists wanting to sale not to buy.
that was a good thing… because redbubble makes the money. they charge high prices to sellers, and you are force to add a small mark-up, so let’s say u add a 20% on your cards (around 30¢ profit) how many do you need to sell to reach the $20 cut ( if you use paypal) can you sit and wait until you reach $100?
I sell many, many pieces online, and using redbubble is a waste of time.

Thanks for letting us know – I hope you get a sale soon! Do you have any other websites that you have had luck getting sales on? If so, I’d love to hear about them.

I have been on Redbubble for about a month, albeit, a short time, but one of my pics recieved 314 hits and yet, no purchase. I’m beginning to wonder what it takes to actually make a sale. Great review, by the way.

Hey Jamia! It’s good to hear from you. I checked out your blog – it looks great! There’s some nice artwork on there and some cool clothing. Yes, I think RedBubble would be right up your alley! Have you had any luck on Etsy?

Hi Kai, yes – I am sure he may be interested in RedBubble if he is an artist! Let us know if he sets up a RedBubble shop.

I can tell my friend about this. He just graduated from an art school.
