How much is the referral percentage deduction?

Today I made a sale. The details are as follows:

 3rd Party 10/29/2022 3:16:22 AM40$66.0020.0%+$9.60 USD$9.60

Can someone help me understand -

1. How is the 3rd party referral calculated?

2. Have I got the correct amount as Royalty? i.e $9.60 

3. According to me this works out as a deduction of almost 27% of actual royalty (20% of $66.00). Are3rd party referral deductions so high? I thought they were supposed to be 15% only?

Thank you in advance

regards

Though the math of this has always escaped me, there's one thing you left out, which is Zazzle's "penalty" for having a royalty that's 15% or more. I've a vague memory of it being 5% of your royalty, but I could be wrong. The only thing I'm right about is that Zazzle takes back a bit of your royalty.
