Where can you change the default royalty?

Guess I'm getting old and forgetful or blind or both... I'm desperately looking for the place where you can set your default royalty but can't find it... any hint from a helpful soul? Thanks!

Oh. Is there a penalty on marketplace listings if you set your royalty higher than the infamous 14.9%? Don't want to exaggerate but it would be nice to have at least clean 10% in your pocket after all the various reductions. I know there is a small fee applied to the royalties above, that's fine. Just curious if you get penalized in the marketplace.

It's on the My Account tab of your Member page. https://www.zazzle.com/my/home

I set each and every product as I feel appropriate when publishing the item. I set my Default royalty to 25% because that is what gets applied when someone transfers a design and it's paid off a couple of times. People have said many times that high royalties effect their Z-rank, make of that what you will. I just know that if you have the tags people are searching for, your royalty isn't keeping you out of results.

Thank you! I knew I could count on one of the usual suspects 🙂

Yes, I know about the role of the default royalty, I'll set it probably to 20%. This should more or less grant a "clean" 10-15% after the fees and referral share. I also set the % by product to get to a what I feel is a fair price for that specific product and design. Some higher-priced items I've put in the 10% range while others go actually up to 20. The Z-rank isn't a big concern to me, mine usually ranges from 6 to 8, which is fine. I wasn't sure if there was a penalization in the marketplace listings if you go over 10 or the 14.9. Since I am a disaster in promoting myself, most of my sales come from the marketplace and 3rd party affiliates.
