Thumbs down for a broken marketplace As a seller paying $155.88 USD a year to list my art here, I would recommend new artists stay clear from this website, at least for now. Society6 has a completely broken search function, and newly added artworks have not been visible on the marketplace for at least the last 5 months. If you have any newly added works, I recommend searching for them on the Society6 marketplace by your username, title and specific tags to see if you can find yours, especially if you have been considering signing up for a plan. It will give you an indication of what customers are not seeing. Further, go to any main navigation link on Society6 (backpacks, totes, mugs etc), and check the "new & trending" filter which supposedly would give you newly added items. Take a screenshot of what you see, and check back 1 - 2 weeks later. Heck, check back a month later like I did. I guarantee you'll see the same exact things there, in the same order as they were in your old screenshot. For this alone I would give it a 1 star, as there is simply no point signing up for this platform if your newly added work does not have a sliver of a chance of being found, even with meticulous keyword and description planning. Support brushes this issue off, saying that artists need to promote their works more, or just says their marketplace is struggling with the introduction of the artist plans and their website may "take a few days" to update. I'd say over 120 days has been more than a few. The fact that their advertised "analytics" page for the pro plan only works half the time, and doesn't actually give you any analytics at all and just tells you how many works you have sold over the last 90 days (which is a stat you can see without the analytics feature) is just the icing on the 1 star cake. I hope Society6 improves their website & will change this review if they do, but for now I would recommend giving the artist plans a hard pass.

Generally decent products I see a ton a bad reviews here. I've bought several items from society6 over the past 4 or so years, and I've maybe been disappointed once with a clock that started to lag after a year. I've bought tote bags, bath mats, and other items, and generally I've liked them. I see reviews that say this is all overpriced, which is ridiculous to me if you want customized items. Custom means it costs more. If you're looking for cheap stuff it's not going to be customized.

Review from an artist on Society6 Garbage site! I spend years to have a 600+ designs portfolio, new designs never sell, not once, people always buy my designs where i upload 5 years ago. But that is because they do nothing to show your new stuff, the website is too bad, small mockups, blurry, the client can't really see what they're buying, they have also to of unprofessional artists, selling low quality images, printed on Chinese products... You can't keep your clients for long time with this garbage website, and as artist you can't do anything, they don't care, they answer nicely but they dont care about artist opinions. ALSO YOU NEVER PROMOTE A WHITE NORMAL MAN, always woman, black, LGBTQUEIA+ bla bla, hipster BS!!! So i will leave this stupid "politics correct" website!

ARTISTS AVOID!!!! I have been contributing to Society6 since 2016, had over 130 designs, now they make artists pay just to be on the platform. All my designs were deleted except 10 :) How lovely! Do they realise how much time I spent adjusting all products for my artwork???????? Anyway I made 2 sales in past month, for the rug "Beautiful wave surfing on a sandy beach" that a Buyer paid $281 I got only £24, not even 10%. What a cruel platform, cold heartedly deleting designs forever. My own paintings and photos around the World. Please avoid, not a great experience at all.

Account deleted Reviewing as a seller We only get a very small cut of the overinflated prices that Society 6 charge when we sell something. They are now charging us a monthly fee to use the site, which is on top of shipping fees they introduced earlier this year. Propping up a struggling business by exploiting hard working artists is a disgrace Account deleted. Sellers and buyers, please do not support this business.
