I don't know abt everyone else, but tbh, after 18 years on Zazzle, attaining Pro Silver, etc... I am at a point where the constant changes, not least the most recent royalty rate and affiliate changes, and the number and frequency of major glitches, has driven me to the verge of leaving the site permanently in the near future unless by some miracle things return to "normal" REALLY soon. I have not made a NON-3rd party sale from any of my shops since the royalty rate changes. I absolutely cannot stay on a site that offers me pennies for a product they sell for large profit. I have jumped through so many hoops for Zazzle in the past decade! I never fully recovered from the search changes in 2012. I used to make a few hundred a month, over 1k during holidays. Now I struggle to make $100 in ANY month, and in fact have had a few months with no payout the past 1-2 years.  I add new listings regularly, have no hidden designs to update, I delete all non-sellers older than 2 yrs as instructed, and have updated every listing on every product with views but no sales... and still coming up empty handed. Now my understanding is that because I refuse to list at 10% royalty and accept earnings that wouldn't even support me in Mexico or India (and I have lived in both, so I would know), that my shops and designs are hidden from the MP?!?!  What does it take, Zazzle?  What can Zazzle do to make it worth my staying? (and I am NOT by far the only one pondering this). Because if this does NOT change, I will have no choice but to look elsewhere. And I really do not want to have to do that after nearly two decades here! ... View more

Obviously, using the standard jpeg, tiff or png file to create an image to upload for a large poster or banner is not feasible - that is, if we attempt to make it the actual size. So, what is recommended for such images? I'm thinking it may be necessary to create a smaller image (even something like a 16x20 inch) and saving it as a pdf file. Need some good advice on this. Thanks. ... View more

I just sold two items: stickers and matching business cards to someone who messaged me directly via Zazzle and to whom I sent a link to the products - yet both sales came through as third-party sales. How do you explain this when no third party was involved? ... View more

Hi I use this resource for currency conversions and historical data etc. https://fxtop.com/en/historical-currency-converter.php I hope I'm understanding this all correctly ... The currency exchange rate re $ to £'s 5th Sept (pay cut off date) was 79.71%. Zazzle payment details show currency conversion as 0.749%  (almost 5% difference) Note re 31st August rate was 1 USD=78.87 GBP Please help me understand why Zazzle shows rate as 0.749% a difference of almost 5% Meanwhile in terms of the figures showing re what I am being paid ie $ to £'s the difference is akin to 6.7% Note that I haven't checked the other currencies as yet as my main sales are US based. For me the difference is in 3 figures and appears to be more than double what I paid in conversion fees with payPal.  Thank you ... View more

I have received numerous requests to create designs that include optional sleeve printing. I'm surprised this feature isn't available, especially given the popularity of sleeve printing over the past three years. Am I overlooking something? Is there a specific shirt that offers this option that I haven't found? Thank you, Amanda ... View more

Lately, I’ve noticed that around 95% of my sales are coming through third-party and it's really discouraging. The earnings from these sales are significantly lower compared to how it was before, and it's starting to feel like all the effort I put into designing and promoting isn't paying off fairly. ...

I just noticed on one of my products that the regular "Transfer this Design" bar was missing. I found the new area for it in a very small and obscure place (located next to the design description we enter in). I do get sales where customers have transferred the design and am concerned that this small area would be totally overlooked by them.  It says Beta next to it. I hope Z does not permanently choose this as an update. Screen shot below. ... View more

Hello to everyone! I have not been able to resolve the problem with W 8BEN-form for more than six months. Z-Support does not respond. Can anyone help me or give me advice what i need to do?  On April 11, 2024 I received a letter from Z-support saying that my address in my Zazzle Payment settings has duplicate postal code and my form does not, and I need to fix it. Then I fixed it, attaching a new W 8BEN-form and send it to zazzle support. But there was no response… The last time I sent my form again was 10 May 2024 to this email address: Zazzle-w8@Zazzle.com and there is still no answer. Who can solve my problem or who did you personally contact for submitting and accepting W 8BEN-form?  ... View more

I do not understand the excess royalty fee. I know for 15 years it has been there but since these new fees in which I am making very little I never thought much about it. I always felt it was fair. Now I am wondering why is this fee for higher priced items. Does Z advertise those with higher referral fees more hence needing the extra fee? How are the transaction fees different than if one uses a lower referral fee?  That would make sense if it was an extra fee because they have to change a number to adjust the final fee. Now when I used to do accounts receivable and I had to use an eraser for each and every change that could make sense. Only it doesn't make sense.??  What if I set the fee at 5,6,7,8 or 9% ? Wouldn't that make the transaction fee needed on those because they are not at the 10%.?? All these years I was thinking using a higher % was making myself and Z in general more money and it never bothered me. Now I am thinking the fee is one more way to get a few extra cents for the bottom line. I also used to be happy with anyone that referred me and figured they were doing better if I was but now I find I don't understand anything about pricing. Anyone have input on this thought? What am I thinking incorrectly??   Thank you Excess Royalty Fee: An Excess Royalty Fee of five percent (5%) of the Gross Royalty will apply when Your Royalty Rate is set above ten percent (10%), to cover transaction processing costs. ...
