Dear Spreadshirt team,

I am struggling to see how is this good news for partners. Bottom line here is: you guys are making products more expensive, so for those of us that produce the designs and also sell them in our shop, this means that either the final price increases (so customers need to pay more and selling our items gets more difficult since the price is less attractive), or we have to reduce our commission significantly in order to keep the same final price we've been using.

I don't see a single scenario in which this new model is actually good news. Sure you can try to sell this scheme as "more commission for partners" but this is at the expense of increasing the final retail price, which is something that we could have done with the old model if we wanted to. Reason why we didn't do it was to keep pricing to something reasonable. Pricing was already really expensive. Charging more than 10€ for the most basic blank t-shirt and then 8€ more for a three color flex print was already really really high. Increasing the product price even more just invites partners to find other alternatives or customers to find other online shops. We really can't sustain our business selling at such high prices.

I hope you guys reconsider this decision. It's a really selfish one that makes life hard for all partners.
