      <body>There's a $45 set up fee, then there's a fee of $30 a month, then they take 35% of all transactions and there's a 2% processing charge of each item. Yep.</body>

my guess is they feel you'll get more visibility (and more sales) because they're well known, hence, the astronomical charges</body>

Yeah, we've been on there for about 8 months now.  So far, it has helped us out tons.  It's given us so much exposure and we've sold a good bit of shirts.  All the kazbah brands jack up their prices to cover Kloop's commission, so there is really no loss there.  On the downside, Parody shit is king there, so the more conceptual or artistic tees we have done, are not hot sellers there.  You paste any athlete or icon or logo-play on there and it'll sell well (sad, but true).  Also, since Kloop is a corporation, there have been some issues with the business decisions they make, but that's nothing i'd air on a public forum like this.  Add to that that it's not super easy to get on there, they get alot of submissions.  It's done well for us though.
 I've never actually seen KarmaSwap before, not really sure how great it is to be on there since it's off the main site.

i think that theres a positive side to this because karmaloop says they get 2.5million visitors to there website each month but they also rape you and thats the negative</body>

      <body>Yeah. in all honesty, i think it might be worth a shot for a month or something. Karmaswap could be good exposure and if there are good sales I guess it could get Karmaloops attention to be picked up for the Kazbah.
It's kind of a gamble though since it's so new.</body>

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
have the sales been consistant for you? do you add a certain number of products on karmaloop and a the rest on your own website store?

yeah the exposure is good! i would let them rape me for a few months until i build a fanbase
