Snag in the Online Store idea

Dude, I just discovered that with cafe press you can only have ONE of each item! What the HFIL is this crap?! I have to upgrade to a premium shop account if i want to have more than one of each item and that costs $60 a year! So now I don't know what to do.

The Zarbon sticker idea is definately out now at least with CafePress so I'm going to just get those done locally and sell them myself. I'll be able to sell them at a lower price if I do it myself anyway.

But as for the Paper Demon store I'm not sure what to do. I'll have to think this over. Anyone have suggestions?

EDIT: After talking it over with my mom we came up with an idea. If I sign up for a premium shop, the first 15 days is a free trial. So what I'll do is as soon as I have all the artwork for the shop I'll upgrade to a premium shop and ask everyone to please make their purchases within that 15 day window to acrue the money needed for the premium shop. If I dont get enough money, then I'll have to close the shop and forget the whole idea. I will also add Zarbon stuff to the premium shop so if you are making purchases of paperdemon.com stuff you can also pick up a couple zarbon stickers too. I'm going to shoot for mid November as a date for opening the shop so if you wish to participate in the PaperDemon.com online store, please let me know now what artwork you want in the store so we can get it approved and prepared to be put on products.

Another thing you can do...

It's annoying, but CafePress lets you have as many stores as you want.  Each store can only have one of each item in it, but if you built up a 'storefront' sort of thing here and linked to each item in your stores individually, it would still work.  It'd be a hassle, but it'd work.

But I'd try out the whole premium account thing, first.  That's so much easier, if it works.

Yeah another thing I can do is just open up the basic PaperDemon.com store and create a basic BogusRed store and just sell PaperDemon and BogusRed stuff for a couple weeks to build credit and then upgrade the PaperDemon store to premium. That's what I'll most likely do. Hopefully I'll have both stores ready by the end of the week.

if cost is a worry then e-bay is done for, what about an e-mail catalog? perhaps you need to google for a place that will allow you to.

i also have a webspawner site i don't use i could give you to use as a store front and put links to the items posted wherever.

Inucune, the point is I need the cafe press premium store to pay for itself.
