Sell your artwork on products / More of a chance to make money!

CafePress has contacted us to allow our users to sell their artwork on cafepress. This would be a feature built into the profile that would allow you to spefiy the artwork you wish to sell on products and then the products you wish to sell it on. Let me know what you guys think.

The quality of Cafepress prints and products is questionable. Of course, I have never offered or sold any of my work online, but from what I've seen and heard CafePress isn't people's first choice as far as a good quality deal.

I heard the same. But the manager told me they would send me free samples. I told him exactly what you said. About me hearing their site has shotty quality. He told me they improved significantly in the last 6 months and if I didnt like the quality and decided not to go with them that is okay. So I will review the quality before coding anything of course and let you guys know.
I already have six cafe press shops (with full permission from my stock artists btw ) If you plan to sell there you better get permission from any stock artists you may have used... they do peruse the shops looking for unauthorized works, so be legal boys and girls
Here are my shops

KrasblakART2 [ link ]
KrasblakART3 [ link ]
KrasblakART4 [ link ]
KrasblakART5 [ link ]
KrasblakART6 [ link ]
Can't wait for a more direct link feature as planned, that would be very convenient and welcome,
Thanks,
Blake

Mastercylinder its fine if you dont want to answer this but how well does artwork like this sell for you?
Any info would be great. If you dont want to post it in a forum please feel free to private message it to me.
it's fairly consistent... I don't make a living off of it, but I also do not promote my shops like most people do... Some of them promote their shops in tons of forums and art sites and supposedly they make a lot of extra income by doing so... Cafepress is quite respected if thats what your really asking... they are a big outlet for artists to make a little something off of what they do any more questions I can answer
Also, Cafepress makes most of the money here... you set a limit to the maximum amount of stuff sold in actual monies.. I have mine set to $25.00 , so every time $25.00 worth of stuff is sold they send me a check for that amount, it's very fair to me since they host these shops, and create and distribute these products for generally free

I will say that while their quality has been improved visibly, their fabric printing is still crap.
I have a cafepress shop here: [ link ] and I have to say their polo shirts, when you use just black and white images, are hawt.
