Good morning designers, When you design invitations, do you design matching envelopes?  I see that one can design envelopes separately.  Is it worth it to have matching envelopes?  Do customers care about that? Thank you! ... View more

I am about to panic because when I searched 18lb tissue paper it says it is not found.  I know that they have changed the sizes but if can't create on 18lb that will hurt the decoupage creators drastically.  What are they thinking? Please tell me they are not discontinuing the 18lb.  thank you Rena ... View more

The Photo below shows royalty deduction percentages from two of my recent '3rd Party' sales of the same product (No product transfer, No add-on item.)   On the 06-18-25 sale, Zazzle deducted 45% off my original default royalty for whatever fees they charged, and it did not stop there; apparently, Zazzle did NOT think 45% deduction was high enough.  On 07-12-25, I got another sale of the exact same product (not transfered product), and Zazzle increased the fee deduction rate from 45% to 55%. It's like a slap in my face - am I being penalized for making recurring sales? So, Dear Zazzle, here are my Simple Humble Questions and if you could give your pompot and honest replies, I will really appreciate it:   - Zazzle applied two different royalty deduction rates on my sales of the same product within only a 3.5 week period, so which one was correct? 45%? 55%? Both? Neither? - Zazzle has increased the royalty deduction rate of the SAME product from 45% to 55% within 3.5 weeks. What exactly was that additional 10% for? - When I sell this product again next time, what percentage is Zazzle going to take out from my original default royalty? 45%? 55%? Or a surprise?   ...

Can someone explain to me the Marketing referral fee? it seems to be on all my sales. My royalty is 10% so after the marketing referral fee, it drops by 50%? I guess I am trying to figure out what that is used for? Why is it taken out?  ... View more

Classic LOVE Motif with a Modern Twist by 1234Shine On Tuesday, I noticed Zazzle (by Zazzle, I mean Zazzle alrigothm) has put some of my listings under the "Wedding" department. For example, this shirt was in: Weddings > Décor & Party Supplies > Party & Shower Supplies > Bridal & Wedding Shower Supplies. That was a big mistake by itself because there's no clothing within the Wedding department, so I moved it to "Clothing & Shoes" where it belongs.   Last night, after reading a post from @MasterpieceCafe , I checked this listing and Zazzle has once again put it back to Weddings > Décor & Party Supplies > Party & Shower Supplies > Bridal & Wedding Shower Supplies, so I switched it back to Clothing & Shoes.   I checked my listing around 7am this morning: Zazzle has so efficiently thrown it back to "Wedding" again.  I changed it back to Clothing & Shoes for the 3rd time, but at this point, I know most likely I'm just wasting my time...   This shirt is an "Evergreen" design. People could buy it for anyone they "LOVE", for any occasion to show "LOVE": Valentines, Mother's Day, friends, teachers, birthday, bridal showers, colleague retirement etc. But when someone purchases this for grandma birthday, friends, or just for themselves, they are actually buying a "Wedding" product, according to Zazzle. Isn't it weird?   I know this happened probably because I had "bridal shower" in the tag.  Zazzle has been emphasising and reminding us creators over and over again how important it is to optimize our listings. Well, while I optimizing my listing with "bridal shower" to reach more potential customers, I was also, unknowingly, optimizing my royalty deduction to 50% in 3rd party sales.  My "Search Engine Optimization" has turned into "Royalty Deduction Optimization."  Wow, did not really see that coming...   ...

I been getting templates for making photoshop designs. Why is it that there are some templates and not others? Why is the list of templates so disorganized and incomplete? Just wondering why it seems Zazzle seems to be dropping the ball, I'm sorry but that is how it seems. Also why do we only have only 10 spaces for Store tags? I was just wondering about that. ...

How do I get my store items to appear in the search algorithm product list that I sell on Zazzle, please? I go on the main site for example and type beach towels and type daisy; my design only displays after I type Gaia, and my design appears by itself.  How do I get my designs to be featured next to other similar items on this site, as a choice like the other sellers? Do I need to tweak my tags? What other suggestions, please?  Thank you for your time. Blessings.  🙂  ... View more

Dear Zazzle, What Is Our Royalty Deduction Percentage for Transfer Sales Between "Departments"?   Scenario 1 A customer purchases an item with design transferred from "Wedding" department to "Clothing & Shoes" department and it's a "3rd Party" sale: what's our royalty deduction percentage? 35%? 50%? Whichever is lower? Whichever is higher?   Scenario 2 A customer purchases an item with design transferred from "Clothing & Shoes" department to "Wedding" department and it's a "3rd Party" sale: what's our royalty deduction percentage? 35%? 50%?

I just discovered that with the Instant Download (not my own) that I purchased from Zazzle over two years ago, that I can go in to the Design Tool to edit it and add any of the backgrounds provided by other Creators. And then I can re-download with that background in use. I was extremely surprised by this. It is my understanding that the background designers get paid each time their background is added to a purchased product. In this case, a product is being purchased but I am able to go in after the fact and add their background, for which they then aren't getting paid for.  I found this page, Secondary Content FAQS, which says How much does Digital Content cost? Digital Content is free of charge for digital downloads. If Digital Content is free, do Creators still earn a royalty for their work? Creators don’t earn a royalty when their Digital Content is downloaded – but they do earn royalties when their Digital Content is added to physical products and purchased. but it's all in reference to the Zazzle Create feature which pre-dates Instant Downloads by over 3 years.  The Create feature launched in December 2019, Instant Downloads weren't launched until March 2023. So the above terminology doesn't address actual Instant Downloads which aren't a "physical" product, but are a product being purchased.  If one customizes a design to include a background and then purchases it as an Instant Download, the background creator would earn a royalty. But if one purchases it first and then adds the background, they won't. Is this right? That seems really weird. It doesn't matter to customers as it's a free element to them any way it shakes out, but to the background creator who would be earning a share of the royalty, and to the original creator whose royalty gets dinged if they do, this is an interesting situation.  ...
