Fair point. We're open to exploring other pricing structures based on the market feedback we'll get. In general, goal is to rather be the Apple of eCommerce than the Dell. (Well, that sounds cheesy and not in a good way :) Sorry.) We don't want to be the cheapest service but the one that provides our sellers with the most value.

One interesting avenue for providing further value so that people might not balk at the 10% fee (as witnessed by a few skeptics in this thread), would be to perhaps provide next-day shipped shipping labels for merchants.

It seems that since the orders will be coming through CropUp, why not hold the hand of the merchant just a few steps further? Intake orders, print shipping labels, provide shipping materials to merchants, One-Stop-Shop concept.

Excellent thinking! This is one of the ideas on our list, no concrete plans or timing yet though. It should just be real simple to sell the products you make so that you can spend more time on the things you actually care about like making some cool products.
