My designs and time are worth more than the pennies they are now paying for commission. I see many familiar shopkeepers who have migrated as well. My hard work and determination to make my new presence at Zazzle is finally paying off. It's been four months now since I've closed up shop at CP and have no regrets, but their bad business decision still leaves a bitter taste in mouth. A recent visit to CP marketplace now shows the result of their decision, very few good designers have remained. It's a matter of (short) time before this bites them in the behind and CP is no more.

There are other possibilities, maybe even the intention to pretty much eliminate shopkeepers and simply concentrate on mass market designs and corporate accounts. It's become obvious that they really don't want to pay shopkeepers and don't care about the backlash: yes, they might be prepping to sell out the company, but I am a bit worried that they might be gearing up to buy another POD company. Last year in July, they bought Imagekind, so it's not unheard of that they are looking to scoop up another one this July. I have no evidence, just speculating. There does have to be some reason for such drastic moves on the part of this company. JJ very grateful for your line of reasoning and I’ve been trying to get others to follow suit.
