As an artist that sells on redbubble, this company has made it pretty much impossible to make a profit whatsoever. To begin with, they have always taken a large portion of the profits from each sale, which fair enough, money needs to go towards manufacturing and logistics etc, I didn't have a complaint towards that. However, last year they implemented the dumbest arbitrary "account fee" system, which basically takes away another large chunk of whatever meagre profit we were making to begin with.
As an example:
Last month, I sold £21.6 worth of products. After deducting manufacturing costs etc., I received a profit margin of £5.4. Then, after deducting this month's account fee, I'm left with £2.4 worth of earnings!!! From £21.6 to £2.4... so i'm basically earning 10% of my sales, whilst redbubble is pocketing 90% of my sales. This is extremely discouraging to all artists, and I'm seriously considering closing down my account because of this.
