Sell T-Shirts at Spreadshirt |
| About Spreadshirt |
| Spreadshirt is the second largest site that allows users to sell their own t-shirts. Their t-shirt designer allows you to add text to shirts or work from their database of images or upload your own. After you create your t-shirt just markup the shirt above the Spreadshirt markup to set your profit for each shirt that sells. Many consider it one of the only decent alternatives to Cafepress. While I think they have a lot of work to go, they do provide a decent place to sell your products but require you to promote your own store to get sales or do manual submissions to their Visual Buying Guide / Ubershop. |

Disadvantages |
| |
- Each shirt has to be added one by one because there is no bulk feature which makes opening a large store tedious.
- No directory of spreadshirt stores. They started a Visual Buying Guide (see Ubershop review) but requires manual submissions. So you "may" be able to have a few of your designs approved but without a design or store directory you will be responsible for generating all the traffic to your own site.
- Only allows 20 digital uploads and 20 vector uploads per day.
- Few Shopkeeper tool updates.
