How Redbubble base prices eat your profit

Redbubble sets a base price for each product type covering production and fulfillment. You choose a markup percentage on top of this base. Your earnings = base price × markup%. The customer pays base price + markup (retail price).

Does Redbubble artist margin depend on the destination country?

Yes. Redbubble's base prices vary by shipping destination because of currency exchange and regional production costs. Your markup percentage stays the same, but the absolute dollar amount earned can vary slightly.

What markup percentage should I set on Redbubble?

The default is 20%. Most successful artists use 20–40%. Higher markups increase your per-sale earnings but may reduce sales volume if your retail price is uncompetitive.
