Umm, I heard about this place that makes t-shirts coffee mugs, and other such items, basically they do all the work for you. So...you buy a t-shirt for $5 you advertise it on your site, they buy it for $15, it goes through the co. and they send it to them with your name on it, It is pretty cool... Crap I forgot the url, i'll get it tomorrow.

vstores only pay for US citizens, I found this was a good thing. I was searching for some free online stores like cafepress.com. If any one knows some others please post them here :D

I've been using cafepress.com for a couple months now on one of my sites, www.ToyotaCelicas.com/merchandise.html and I think the quality is pretty good. The base rates are high, but overall I am satisfied. Of course, I'd be a lot more satisfied if people were actually buying my stuff :P I'm going to have to make some designs other than my logo...then I'm pretty sure more will sell. I've seen the t-shirt, hooded sweatshirt & mousepad. People said the ink on the t-shirts fade fast, but w/ a black logo, it still looks good. The elastic along the bottom of the sweatshirt stretched easily. But the mousepads are really nice.
Side note: if you want to sell more than one kind of mousepad, for example, you need to create more than one store.

oh thanks that helps, I am already working on the designs for my mouse bad, I think the best deal on the base rate is the sweater. I know after my site gets the re-design I will average 300+ hits a day. I have easily been getting 100-150 I think it will double when I offer free sub domains and hosting.

yeah, I was also wondering if there were other similar services since cafepress' merchandise is a bit overpriced.
