Default Shame of the latest cuts to Marketplace

I have been a Cafepress shopowner for many years and have made Cafepress thousands of dollars. I am not a big artist with many sites, or have money to pay for advertising that many times goes nowhere. This is going to hurt my supplementary senior income and I have bee talking to hundreds of people who also are facing this, or have left Cafepress or the Marketplace.

There is a way for us to keep our shops but opt out of the Marketplace and make even more money. This is not a promotion, there is nothing in it for me other than the same for you. It is just a discussion on ways we can promote our stores and not lose the money we are losing already and more to come.

We all however must ban together and think of the possibilities if hundreds of us then thousands worked together. It would be the largest marketing stragedy ever on the internet.

If your interested write me. Its a reciprocal request. Thanks

I've been with cafepress for almost 5 years. I don't like what they've done with their "marketplace Commissions". I'm now phasing out my stores from 8. I now have 4 soon to be three.
I've made cafepress a heck of a lot of money to be treated this way. So has everyone else.

I now only make 40% of my markup from Marketplace Sales.

I'm going elsewhere. Probably Printfection or Zazzle.

Cafepress really screwed us this time.

Cafepress has had thier cake now have thier cake and are eating it to. We cannot discuss much on the Cafepress forums, I have had several posts deleted and they were not really bad at all. No plots or other store names, just ticked them off as I spoke the truth.

I am still hoping people will write me. And that we can get together and make some money. Do not let them win. We spent to much time and they have made to much money off our backs.
