Gumroad?
7 years ago
Recently I have been thinking of a better way to sell my vore packs along with some non-vore content. So far, I have been able to do it myself through notes or email, but its a lot of work on my end and there's a delay in you getting your content. I have heard of other artists with this same issue, and they went to Gumroad. It seems easy enough, and I really like the idea, but I had a few concerns (and I wanted to address any that you might have).
First off, is Gumroad the best site for me?
What worried me the most was their upload policy. They don't want "sexually oriented or pornographic content", which I believe a few of my packs fall under, especially the most recent Willing packs. I have seen NSFW content on Gumroad from other artists, but I don't want to break the rules myself with the excuse of "well they did it!" It doesn't work that way. So is there another place similar to Gumroad that would be better?
Do you like Gumroad?
As either a content seller or buyer, do you like the site? It seems pretty straight forward to me, and I don't mind their fees (Patreon has them too). Do you find it easy to use and buy/sell from?
As for your concerns:
If you are a Patreon, you'll still get all the packs and stuff. There wont be 'Gumroad exclusives' and 'Patreon exclusives'. If you are a Patreon, you'll get your content at Patreon. If you're not a Patreon, then you can go to Gumroad to buy the content. The idea is Gumroad acts as a site for me to post things to sell without needing to manually send you an invoice through Paypal.
Prices will be the same. I wont add anything to the price to cover the fees.
Do you have any questions or suggestions?

Gumroad adds a 25% fee of the cost of the item, a percentage that I find incredibly high.
I'd like to believe that your artpacks are most likely not going to be costing as much as a Tripple A game but it is deterring if you want to buy something for say 30 bucks and end up having to pay 38 bucks due to fees.
That's the only problem I've had with the site, otherwise the purchases I've made through there have all arrived without a hitch.
