Can you stop Zazzle from offering "Edit this Design" on item pages that you created?

Also, I hate seeing my design on many other products, right on my item details page. Is this avoidable?

Thanks,

Earl (LidsvilleNine)

Sadly, I cannot find how to edit the strange typo in the question headline.

You can. When you post an item for sale you can un-click the "show customize it" button and that will stop people from accessing the design tool for that product BUT - that's not how people are copying designs.. they cannot use the design tool to copy your product and then sell it.

If you are seeing your designs on products you didn't create that can only be done one of two ways - if it's your original art, the person would have to screen shot it, that would be the only way to swipe it.. If it's a design that is made using only text or made using stock art, they may have simply used the same font or gotten the same stock art and used it in the same way.

If it's an issue with original art, report them for copyright violation... If it's the second scenario there's nothing you can do, as copyright doesn't cover simple layout and you likely have no exclusive rights.

@LidsvilleNine if you mean seeing the line of other products under your listing that you can transfer your design to - you can disable this in your store settings

settings - advanced settings - scroll down to Design Transfer - uncheck the box - submit to save and wait for the website to catch up. That should turn them off I believe

These are things that help with sales, if a customer wants or needs a different background color or wants a different font or whatever. Turning these options off works against you if you're here to try to make money.
