Default When leaving CP, to I keep my CP store running too?

I'm leaving cafepress within a month a doing everything on my own. I do get solid sales with my CP store, so I was thinking of leaving it open. If both stores have the same name (different addresses of course since cp is cafepress.com), is it to confusing to customers or does doing that make sense?

Your customers may not ever see both sites (unless you link them to it on your stand alone site), so it probably won't be too confusing to them.

I would leave the cafepress store open if the sales are coming in.

I'm not going to link from one to the other ( I think linking to my stand alone site would violate cp rules anyway). Originally I was going to turn off the cp site but I do get a fair amount of sales from their marketplace.

Thanks for the advice.

Well then why are you throwing away the money thats coming your way? You can use that extra cash for something.I'd suggest to leave the store open if your gettin solid sales like you mentioned :-).

I did finally leave cafepress. I kept my old store open too and still make cp sales. It's nice making sales in my new store and knowing the packaging wil have my store name on it rather than cp. Making more profit helps too.
