Looks like Threadless may be on it's way to becoming a POD. They've always been "podish" but they were submission based...submit something, wait, wait, wait, and hope that it gets voted up enough to be a Threadless tee.
They've now introduced "Artist Shops" and it looks like they may not just be for current pre-approved artists (though, we'll see). They're not yet up and running, but you can reserve your artist shop here.

Hic-ups As Zazzle Transitions to the New Craft Category
Zazzle is adding a craft category...you probably already will see it in your shop. But in the meantime, some of the items in your shop that would go in that category may be hard to find.
If you're like me, and need to, for instance, be able to direct people to the ribbon or favor boxes or whatever in your shop (and it's not showing up in crafts yet, and you can't find it in another single category) you can do what I did and make a Zazzle flash panel to point to that, and post it on your website or blog.
But before I tried that I contacted support, and got someone who didn't know what was happening and they gave me some spectacularly bad advice I'm glad I didn't take. I was freaking out because I was promoting my ribbon through a blog post (I'd sent someone a sample to do a Valentines craft with and she was featuring it on her blog, but the link to my ribbon I had given her wasn't working). Zazzle support said they couldn't find my ribbon in my shop and that maybe I should remake it. I happened to know that at least one of my ribbon was there (I found it in a categor) so I thought of the flash panel idea and that showed me that all the ribbon (even the ones I couldn't find in the category it was supposed to be in) was still there and I didn't need to waste my time remaking it.
When I wrote them back someone got me the right answer which was that things were in the process of transfering and the direct links would work if I couldn't find the section with the products in it. So, heads up to anyone else having this trouble.

Possible Price Tweaking Trick
I was playing around with some of the prices on my posters at Zazzle, and I noticed that you can sometimes UP your earnings without changing your price. Like I had one poster selling for $14.75 at 10%--and I was making $1.48 off of it. When I changed it to 11% it still showed it at $14.75 but it showed my profit as $1.62. I don't think this has to do with having to wait until the 20th of the month to see the changes, because this was the preview of what the price would be. I will check back after the 20th and see if the $14.75 price holds though. (I checked...they did).
Not going to make a big difference or be worth your time if you sell small amounts, but if you sell a lot of a certain item this could add up.
