So Redbubble is acting a fool. Starting Sep 1st, they are charging a 50% fee on all profits that a person makes. So if you make 20 cents from a sticker purchase, like I just did now, they take 10 cents.

The thing about Redbubble is that they don't then send you the 10 cents. They keep your earnings until you reach a payout threshold, and THEN they send you your money. But now this means it will take a lot longer to reach that payment threshold, at which then they can possibly raise the fees and take more.

Redbubble always had abysmal profit margins already, but it was nice once in a while to get some extra cash. Unless you have a LOT of people regularly buying your product, you aren't going to make anything at all. Not with a 50% fee on profits and not an EXTRA 50% FEE if you set your profit margins above 20%.

So yeah. No.

What is probably happening is that tariffs are making stickers and shirts more expensive, but instead of just saying they have to charge fees due to that or just raising the price of goods to cover it, they pass all the burden on ranado artists that want to make/sell silly stickers.

If anyone has anywhere else you can sell stickers and such that doesn't suck, let me know. Otherwise, I would have to print my own stickers and sell them like that, but IDK how to do that lol.

So yeah fuck that, deleting Redbubble soon when I got the time. I'm sorry to folks who want Pride Cryptic stickers, but I'll have to figure out what to do next that doesn't involve getting nickel-and-dimed so bad.
