I do also post my terms right into my product description so there is no question before you purchase an item. In my own experience I have bought commercial use items only to find once I read the tou that I can't use them the way I intended. Designers also have to read through a lot of tou files and follow them carefully as well. Thanks so much for the well written post. And as a sidenote I do have several commercial use ok products that are ok for scrap for hire projects. I have very few restrictions on these and many of them are tools that you can use in many different ways and over and over again. Best of luck to you in your business!

I like it so much because it is from the heart and you are sincerely telling the vendors you purchase from (or wish to purchase from) what will help boost their sales. You are giving them the best type of feedback they could possibly ask for. Now I hope the designers who read your post will understand what frustration we, their customers sometimes face. As a designer and a customer - I truly appreciate your input. Thanks for sharing! BTW - I'm going to be writing an article along these same lines for one or more of my blogs and will be posting a link back to your article. Doing what I can to help get the word out. :) ~~ Cindy Angiel (aka PaintChip) http://dsd-professionals.com Resources for Making Money with Digital Scrapbooking My friend this is a fantastic post!

The inconsistencies and changes are almost killing this fledging industry. I too am almost at the stage where I want to throw up my hands and say that it is just too hard and give it all up as a bad joke. I am not going to though, because my family is relying on me to able to use the one talent I have to contribute a small amount to the family income. Lets hope that common sense and understanding will prevail.
