Having tied them all, only one site can deliver, traffic and sales – http://www.zazzle.com
Its best to concentrate your time on one site.

I’ve tried it. Yes. Now I’m canceling my GCU account. GCU seems to be a difficult place for several reasons.

First, the site is incredibly slow. Whatever I do, it takes tens of seconds or even minutes to get any response. Horrible when adding a card, and I don’t think that ‘speed’ would attract any customers.

Second, while I saw an info at the site that cards are usually reviewed within 24hours, I only got any reaction to my three submitted cards after 15 (!) days. That seems to be wasting time.

Third, cards are not accepted in the review process for strange reasons. Eg, one reason given was ‘Nothing in the image/art nor verse of this general card speaks to the specific occasion. Please consider adding an appropriate occasion specific text or verse and resubmitting this card.’ But the occasion I’ve submitted for was ‘spiritual/encouragement’, the card showed a light/lantern from a pilgrimage place and the inside text read “Hope is patience with the lamp lit. (Tertullian)” If that’s not enough, then I really don’t understand the whole concept.
The categories and (sub)(sub)categories make me crazy…

Anyway, I’m out of CGU now.

Anybody can find me at RedBubble now, and several other sites soon.

I am trying to join to sell
I gave my SSN by phone and now when I try to continue on-line with my entry I can’t because it is asking for my SSN.
I tried to call to talk to a customer service rep but was on hold for 10 minutes so I hung up.
CAN SOMEONE EMAIL ME SO I CAN CONTINUE?
PLEASE!

Oh look, they have changed the colors of the website. Woot! NOT! The reviewers still treat the artists like they are a piece of CRAP. Why do people put up with them? I have a friend who works at Hallmark cards and they do not treat their artist the way this place does.

Oh, and you don’t make 50 cents per sale. It could be much less than that if there is a bulk order or a sale going at the site.

Use a vintage image that you have the rights to use and they accuse you of stealing it even when you had the full-rights to use that image you had you even digitally altered it but they (the reviewers) still say that you stole it. I won’t put up with this crap. Zazzle is so much better. I suggest if you want to sale your stuff online you avoid this site and use Zazzle instead. They don’t treat you like you are a thief at Zazzle and since I have ordered from both sites as well I feel the quality of the cards is so much better at Zazzle. When I ordered cards from Greeting Card Universe they stunk like chemicals and the glossy coating peeled off. So Don’t put up with the crap of Greeting Card Universe and go to Zazzle instead.

Thank you to all who have posted this information here in the comments. I opened up a store and added 12 cards. I have been waiting almost 2 weeks and when I contacted them for an ETA, they told me that it is the season for everyone to be submitting Christmas cards and it could be three weeks or more. In itself, that would mean that I would miss out on the sales for the holidays.

So, since I just opened a Zazzle shop a little over a week ago, I think I will go and put all of my cards in the Zazzle shop. The interface is just as easy to use so I should have no issues!

It looks like a pretty good site though and since there are not all that many other sites up yet for competition, they had better work on some things if they want to stay in the running.
