I've uses TPT for many years and started using it for their free items. I try to create a lot of my own product. More recently I saw the value in my time or would be in a jam and would actually make a purchase.
I decided, last week, after spending a tremendous amount of time creating a resource for my class, to become a seller.
It was disheartening, to say the least. I received LESS than half of my product price. Most of it goes to the creators of the site. It was one thing when I thought I was giving part of my teacher salary, to another teacher selling on the site. But, it's completely different that just by posting my work on this site, the creators get more than 50%. So much for TEACHERS helping TEACHERS.
Please keep this in mind when purchasing a high priced item, it's not always the seller/creator getting all of the money.
Seems a bit of a scam to me. Not much of a help to the teacher posting their work.
