Most big stores do a 50/50 thing, smaller ones go as high as 70 seller/30 store cut. Which is fair enough as they have to cover costs. So not unreasonable. Personally think thats better than a flat fee. If you don't sell, you don't pay. But if money isn't the important thing, and you want to be recognised for your creations, then Saxon is right.. go the freebie route. That said you still need to create something nice - like Rokket has with his bike - to stand out. It's also a good way to learn about stuff. For example... what other artists want as well, whats likely to popular (or not), copyright/trademark issues, and the community is way more forgiving over a freebies quality/features than with a product. Indeed it's seems that most sellers here started with freebies and moved onto product. Seems to be the default career path :) I also agree with Saxon about the importance of freebies both for the community and the artist. Even when things change big time like the economy or site policys. It allows artists to still enjoy new stuff and for creators to get some exposure.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
