Why are the top designers silent?

[OakAndPine]

Just wondering why the top designers in Zazzle are silent on the changes since April 1st? Is it not affecting them? As per my understanding if you are making a few dollars on Zazzle you are loosing less, but if you are a top earner, your losses are greater. Right? If I previously made $50 on Zazzle, I will be making around $ 25 now , with all the changes and fees levied on us. But if I were making $1000 per month on Zazzle, I will be now making only around $500 or less. Isn't that a significant loss?

Just guessing here, but maybe the top designers are also the ones who get self-referrals and thus profit immensely from this change. Plus Zazzle is promoting their products (not or to a lesser extend, those of regular folks)?

Do you mean others referring them instead of self referrals? (We can all refer our own products to get a self referral).

That is highly possible. Wish some of the top tier designers could give us an insight on how/if the new changes are affecting them also..

Or, because you can't see the higher tier forums, you may not be seeing their discussions. Or, they could be in direct communication with Z via email. Or, they are busy trying to figure out how to deal with this new situation. Or, or, or... you get my drift.

They are free to comment here or in a tier where their comments could be seen, just like the rest of us.

Some top designers do post here. I’ve seen a number of posts and responses by Pro Diamond and Pro Platinum sellers. 🙂

Yes, I have seen a couple but I also wonder why more haven't weighed in if it is also negatively affecting them too?
