I'm trying to compare sites, and just made this list in a google doc to have all the info in one place... maybe this is helpful for others? if you see something that is wrong let me know, I was browsing the sites fast! some quotes are from this thread, others are from the websites for each.

I didn't compare all mentioned, just the ones I've been looking at (which seem to be the most common). I snagged my ID at most of them, gonna try redbubble and zazzle, and poke a little bit in the ones I only have 14 day trials for.... (I signed up for all but exposuremanager, as I didn't want to give my credit card and forget to cancel before my vacation)
