Possible reasons for earnings being less than expected:

Have you successfully completed your W8BEN? They do expire so you have to resubmit it when it does. https://www.zazzle.com/my/earnings/paymentsettings Depending which European Country you are living in depends on the tax treaty it holds with the US. Check with your country's tax office to verify the percentage (eg UK is 0%)

Your answer is here:
<https://help.zazzle.com/hc/en-us/articles/222706728-W-8-Forms>
Read this part:
I live in a country with a tax treaty with the U.S. What information do I need to fill in to obtain the benefit of the tax treaty rate? (Based on W-8 BEN form for individuals)
Some countries have tax treaties with the U.S. that will allow for a tax rate that is lower than the default withholding tax rate for income types such as royalties. You can find a list of countries that currently have tax treaties with the U.S. and the tax treaties themselves here:
https://www.irs.gov/businesses/international-businesses/united-states-income-tax-treaties-a-to-z
Residents of countries that currently have a tax treaty with the U.S. have the option of applying for a lower tax rate than the default 30% under the treaty by filling out the following:
- All of the information needed for basic acceptance, as detailed in the section directly above.
- All parts of the section “Claiming Tax Treaty Benefits” on your form.
