A couple years ago 
paradigmshifty and I opened a Cafepress shop (http://www.cafepress.com/randomreality). I hadn't been doing well with a grand total of 6 sales till the end of October.
However, I put some World of Warcraft related stuff on it, and it's taken off. 17 sales in the last 2 months. So, I have a theoretical $83 US in my CafePress bank account at the moment, and I'm happy about it.
I've thought of some more ideas for stuff, and I had a chat last night with someone about teaming up together on it since she does really good art work. This should be fun!

Then a customer can go to your shop and chose what items they want to buy, CafePress produce the items when requested and handle postage and the like and you just get the mark-up you specified with no further work required.
It's a nifty idea and works really well.
Thanks Random,

Two things of note.
Firstly, they have a 30 day money back guarentee, so as a result money from sales doesn't become yours until 45 days after the sale (30 days for the guarentee, plus an extra 15 days, just in case).
Secondly, they have a time limit on how long money can be sitting around below the threshhold. I think the lowest threshhold is $25 US, and the time limit is 6 months. So if you make a sale and the amount of money in your CafePress account doesn't go over $25 in 6 months and you don't use that money then you'll loose it.
However, that said, money in your CafePress account can be used for purchases from CafePress including membership costs if you want to upgrade your shop to a premium store.
Thank you!:D
