Order For One Invitation

[BadLands]

I'm newer to Zazzle, so apologies if this is a common question or has been milked to death.  I've been fortunate enough to sell a few of my graduation invitations, but today had someone order just one (printed not digital download).  I suppose this could have been as a sample, but I am assuming this is something some people do, customize and order one invitation then print it at home (or elsewhere) on a copier?

Is this a common invitation problem?  I imagine it would be more common with birthday and grad invites than something formal like a wedding.

I'll take the one sale rather than zero, but it seems shady.

It was probably a sample.

Designers complain about this all the time, but now that digital downloads are available it seems like a non-issue to me. If they're buying it to print locally or something, I can't imagine why someone would pay for one invite, plus shipping and handling and then have to go to the trouble of scanning it etc. It would probably be cheaper to just buy the download. 

Think of it this way - buying one copy still counts as a sale in terms of the Zazzle algorithm, so even though you didn't make much money on this sale, you still get a bump in the search results!

Oh absolutely agreed. I’d rather have that additional sale for any benefits of furthering the store. It just struck me as odd.

Thanks for the reply!
