Hello shopkeepers,

Since CafePress adjusted its marketplace policies to a 10% commission, my income has dropped dramatically. In my premium store I can still fix my own prices, which are between 20 and 30%

Lately I received an email by Google Base, saying, that, to avoid double listings in their Product Search, they would retire my uploaded listings and keep only those sent by marketplaces like CafePress etc.

So I find these CafePress Marketplace listings when searching for an item, but not my own premium store products, which would earn much more...

Of course I thought about opting out of the CafePress Marketplace, but will this measure make my shop listings show up in Google Product Search automatically ? - Cafepress is listed quite on top of the results /first page, as it has better advertising than an individual shopkeeper like me...

I am afraid that, once I opt out of the CafePress Marketplace, it could be difficult to be relisted in there, if I change my mind, and in Google...

so, what to do, who has experience in this matter ? - I am grateful for every hint !


Best wishes to all

Peter
