Our up-front payment of $300 is more than most make with a 10% commission (cafe press & redbubble), and we plan to increase it over time as our sales numbers go up. The community aspect of Chirply also drives more views and sales, versus the silo'd store aspect of the others you mentioned - where you are responsible for driving your own traffic. In the end, we'll be a much better place for designers as our payments increase over time, and the level of exposure for not only your Chirply products, but also your portfolio.
