So this is a little poll, and I think I'll set up an actual poll just so I can get a decent response...
Until now, I've been selling all of my merchandise independently....boxers, tshirts, key chains, magnets, etc. I love selling my items that way because I get to keep all of the money from the sale. The problem is that apparently not a lot of people are comfortable sending me their money, with the fear that I'm one of those "Dommes" who just take your money and you won't ever see what you purchased.
I came across the idea today of selling my items through CafePress. The idea is appealing to me, however the commission involved is a little disappointing...
Say that I wanted to sell a pair of my Shy's Peep Boxers. My price is $25 and because I am selling that on my own, I keep all $25 from the sale.
If I went through CafePress, I would only get to keep $5 from that sale....$5.
Now while in my mind, $5 vs. $25 is an easy decision, I still like pleasing my subs.
So the question stands...
Would you rather please your Domme by buying her item directly from her where she will get more money....
Or would you rather buy her item from a trusted website where she will get less money, but you're 100% guaranteed that you will receive your product?
Answer via the poll to the right of this post ----->
Now let me make this clear. I am a very honest woman. I have never taken money from a sub without giving them what they purchased. I just don't want to make it seem that there's a chance you won't get your items from me when you pay for them.
