Thinking about doing a few t-shirt designs to sell on a couple of my websites. Has anyone got any experience of using these websites like CafePress, or Zazzle? Ideally I want to design the merchandise myself (obviously), advertise it on my own websites, but have checkout and order fulfilment taken care of by the merchandise company.

Unfortunately manufacturers don't normally operate in a similar fashion. I just want to create the design, select the sizes and clothing item and start selling. If I go to manufacturers they'll want me to have minimum orders and all that stuff.

I'm not too worried about making huge profit margins on the items, I just want to be able to offer the service, my customers to have a good buying experience and any small margin on top will be a bonus.
