Royalty amount shows as $11.65 in my Royalty History, but sales notification email tells me $0.22!

I had an order was placed on April 1, 2025, for a foam board.
As per my Royalty History report, the royalty is showing as $11.65.

On the early morning of April 4, 2025, I was sent a sales email notification that this order had been printed and my royalty was reported as $0.22.

What??

This is not a transfer sale. There is no 't' notation next to this order. The only notation there is a 'c' for customization.

I immediately reached out to Zazzle with this notification email, asking for clarification. As of the date of this post, no response has been forthcoming.

What happened this afternoon is that the order got cancelled.

I know this only because (a) my Earnings Summary total shows a drop of $11+ and (b) my Earnings & Transaction History shows that the transaction has gone pink.

So what has this product been printed on that I have yet to get any royalty on?

Could someone from Zazzle provide an explanation, please?

Thank You
Hui

We're currently looking into this. There seems to be a mis-connect with the email notifications. What you see in your account is the true figure.

I posted about the same thing in February. Mine didn't go pink in my earnings history. I assume I was paid for it, I haven't done the math. The royalty was $9.20 and the notification email said 20 cent royalty. 

 
Here is my original post if anyone at Z wants to look at it. It's a pro board. It won't let me repost the info in here for some reason.  https://community.zazzle.com/t5/pro-silver-private/incorrect-sales-notification-emails/m-p/191463

@JerryLambert thanks for chiming in, Jerry. good to see that I'm not alone!

The link to your previous posting says, “access denied,” when I tried to click it….

it's a private forum. I had a habit of only posting in the Pro boards in the old forums. I'm still trying to get used to these new forums. 🙂
