Do you have any of both, or both shops?
Which make you more sales?

I use zazzle.
I wish I could make more money per item though...their base cost is really high.

Cafepress or zazzle do not own the copyrights to your designs.

I've had a shop at Cafepress for about five years, was doing well for the past few, averaging about $700.00 a month. Then they screwed everyone over by changing their commission structure and now I make less than 25% of what I made before.

I've been moving my stuff over to Zazzle and sales are starting to do well there. (I mark up my stuff by 35% so I make $5-$12 on most stuff). Zazzle has more variety of products, and the cool part is that you can make template products to sell, so that customers can easily customize them with their own name/picture/whatever. Can't do that on Cafepress, so that opens up a lot of possibilities.

Nothing from Cafepress, made a wee bit on Zazzle, doing better recently. I noticed its becoming popular with people from the U.K now.

I have a CafePress shop, but I am thinking of switching to Zazzle. They seem to offer more fun items, and I think the shop fee is less. I have had sales from CafePress, but not a lot probably because I don't spend time promoting it... www.cafepress.com/lbsboutique

I have both. I have never had a problem with cafepress, fast shipping and never a complaint from a customer and good feedback. I closed my shop because someone stole my designs and I wanted to revamp.

I have a zazzle, but have not done anything with it for the same reasons...I want to redo my designs and am considering a copyright.

I love my Zazzle. Even with no sales (yet). It is an outlet that I enjoy very much. Even with such meager creative ability as I.
