Is it a good place to sell your games?

I hadn't even heard of them up until I read this. What's their angle if they don't charge commission on each sale?

To support indie devs I presume. They used to charge 9% before going to 0%.

Depends what you mean by 'a good place to sell games'. I've never had any problems with them, but I don't use it as my main distribution outlet.

What I mean with good place to sell is; does it have many users, is it easy to sell?

Indievania won't promote your game for you if that's what you are asking. They list your game and process payments for you. If you don't push traffic to your games page then you won't likely sell a lot there.

They don't promote you, and they don't have many regular customers. It's best if you do the footwork with it yourself (e.g offering customers on your website as using it as an alternative payment method). It also looks good for other digital distribution sites if you state that 'my game got onto Indievania'.
