RedBubble:

What is RedBubble and how it Works?


RedBubble is an international online store that provides print-on-demand products
based on artwork uploaded by users. It was established in 2006 in Melbourne Australia.

What is TeePublic and how it Works?

Comparison between RedBubble and


TeePublic
1. Royalties

RedBubble Royalty

RedBubble provides complete control to the artist on their pricing. Artists


on RedBubble are capable of modifying their profit margins at any moment.
Furthermore, product price is determined by two significant elements,
which are as follows:

1. Base price
2. Artist margin(& Markup)

The Base Price includes Redbubble's service cost and production charges. Base
prices can fluctuate since they depend upon delivery addresses. Be informed that
currency and cost continuously fluctuate, so base prices may change from time to
time.

The Artist Margin (& Markup) indicates how much money you make from a sale,
with the markup being a percentage of the base price and the margin being the
real dollar amount.

TeePublic Royalty
TeePublic's price system is very simple.  For creators and artists, there is a set price, normal
pricing, and sale price, as well as a determined earning.

TeePublic features a new design by an artist at a sale price for 72 hours after the artist uploads
it. The product remains on the platform at the regular price after 72 hours.

TeePublic does not permit merchants to choose their prices, making it an unreliable source of
money. TeePublic controls product prices, which implies your profit margins as well .

methods for Sellers
What are RedBubble payment methods?
Payments will start processing on every the 15th day of the month. Redbubble
offers only Paypal as a payment method currently. Payments can only be
processed to banks in Australia, the United States, or the United Kingdom;
therefore payments will be processed through PayPal for those outsides of these
three locations. You cannot use Payoneer or any other payment method, so it is
necessary to have a Paypal account. If you don’t have a PayPal account Redubble,
allows you to use your friend’s or relative’s bank or Paypal account. Redbubble
only offers payment support for issues with PayPal and bank accounts.
What are TeePublic payments methods?

The payment cycle will begin on the 15th of the month by the selected payment
method. TeePublic offers Paypal and Payoneer as payment methods. TeePublic
has announced to implement new payment methods in 2022. While you can
continue to use PayPal, other payment methods, such as Venmo and Direct
Deposit, will be available on this platform as well. The new TeePublic payment
platform has an international reach, resulting in fewer geographical restrictions.
With the new TeePublic payment system, you no longer need to meet minimum
earnings criteria to get paid.
7. Payment Threshold to withdraw
money
RedBubble payment threshold
Every month on the 15th, the official pay cycle begins. Once your earnings reach
the payment threshold of $20, £20, or €20, you will get paid for every delivered
sale you made. If your sale has not been delivered by the 15th or hasn’t hit the
$20 threshold, it will be passed to the next pay cycle.

Payment-Threshold-

TeePublic payment threshold


Anyone who has used Payoneer previously knows that they have to reach a
minimum of $20 in earnings before TeePublic could pay them. Because of the
new TeePublic payment mechanism, there is no longer a minimum earning need
to get.
