I'm... not sure that this is the right place for this. If not, my apologies! ^^;

I recently discovered a site called "Society6", that allows artists to sign up, create a store, and upload artworks. These artworks can then be applied to various products—prints, cards, mugs, shirts, etc. The neat thing is that Society6 handles all of the printing, packaging, delivery, etc. As a contrasting example, from what I've read, Etsy allows one to sell what one makes, but the artist handles all manufacturing, etc.

I've been looking into Society6 and other sites like it, thinking that it's a rather attractive way to perhaps make a little bit of additional income. (And perhaps as a means of producing some "merch" for my work-in-progress video game.)

In case it's relevant, I would likely have a pretty small store—just a few items—with little change in what's available.

However, I'm rather uncertain in assessing these sites. So, does anyone have any experience with sites like this, or thoughts/advice to share?

Below is a list of sites that I've found thus far, excluding those that I've set aside for one reason or another:
Society6
CafePress
Pixels
RedBubble
Printful
