I’m not entirely new to POD, but just started to explore Zazzle and I’m overwhelmed before even opening my shop! 😋 I’m leary of paid classes and programs because so many of them include too much irrelevant information, but I’m wondering if I should do just that for getting started on Zazzle? I’m only exploring options right now. Zazzle offers so much it seems like a platform to get involved in. So much on offer also makes it seem like I’d be completely lost in it. Any thoughts? Turn and run? Dive in, and go from there? Or sit back, spend the money for a course, then study? I’m going to go draw something now.

I know nobody likes to hear negative things, BUT I think this needs to be said. I don't think I am alone in this feeling. It is becoming a full-time job keeping up with Zazzle's changes and all the things they want us to do to create a product. 1. The new collections, they are so hard to understand, and Zazzle said they were putting out videos to help us understand but hasn't. Nobody that I talk to gets the meaning behind the different choices like cross sell is obvious but then the rest of the choices sound pretty much the same. 2, All the different covers for everything is overwhelming. Multiple cover photos, cover videos, collection media photos, banners and cover photos. OMG seriously, it's overwhelming, can anyone keep up? Then to tell us to do it then send us emails telling us we did it wrong and Zazzle will go in and just delete photos it doesn't like. What a waste of time for us. What about us old-timers who have been with Zazzle for over a decade who have hundreds of collections already? We can't be grandfathered in? We are going to be punished for sticking with Zazzle for so long? 3. Only cover photos on the first couple pages of Zazzle. So creators who have been on Zazzle for years helping YOU GUYS make money, are being punished now because they have created hundreds or thousands of products that now you expect them to go back and make photo covers for. While new creators who happened to join at the time and learn they had to do this will take forefront. So this means our popular products that we worked hard on and have been selling, will no longer be featured and won't sell anymore. 4. The Chat box for creators at the top of the page. There should not be this. This is not most people's full-time jobs and nobody leaves Zazzle on to see when they get a message 24 hours a day. There should be an "email" option, so it doesn't appear that we are on live chat 24 hours a day to answer customer's questions. Not to mention almost every question is about shipping and manufacturing, which is not our gig to begin with. Another time waster. And customers get mad when they don't get an answer right away and just get sent from one place to another to ask questions. I have a youtube channel where all I do is promote Zazzle and give tutorials. I have loved Zazzle for many many years, way over a decade but it's becoming so consuming. I get hammered with so many questions every day because nobody understands anything Zazzle is doing and there are just so many steps to making a product, a collection, category and all of it. Just so overwhelming. So confusing and so time consuming, only to be constantly told we are doing it wrong. I can go on, but honestly it doesn't feel like anyone cares anymore. This is the first time I have thought about just walking away from it all. I have loved creating on Zazzle for years, but it has just become so frustrating like you guys are constantly knocking down us creators in one way or the other, it's become impossible to stay positive about it all.

I received a paper copy in the post for end of the tax year. My date of birth is wrong and is not what I sent to Zazzle. Any reason for this? I am in the UK, should this be a concern?

My W-8BEN form was accepted at the end of April, and I have also reached the minimum payment threshold. Why did I only receive the payment on June 15?

Hello, I'm wondering if sharing on Pinterest is working for you (since there have been a lot of interruptions with sharing, so I hope it's a coincidence and that the links work for us, so that we can also sell something we shared), in the sense: have you sold anything from the beginning of April to today, regardless of whether it was something from your store or someone else's, and is it shown in your report? Thanks for the reply.

I'm wondering if I'm alone in feeling like my store and products are getting less visibility on the Zazzle marketplace? I recently had several of my editor picks removed from my store and I haven't had any of my products featured or promoted in quite awhile. It seems as though Zazzle has taken a different approach to marketing their designers and it doesn't seem to favor the lower level (bronze or basic pro) stores. I'm feeling quite discouraged by this, especially because I have recently have had several of my designs replicated by these higher level stores. Their designs seem to be showing up higher in the search already, even though they are new to the marketplace and mine have been selling for months. Can anyone relate to this? I'm wondering it's best to just walk away from the platform at this point.

If I have my payments on hold, do they remain so at the end of the calendar year? Or will it be paid out with the December payments whether I change the setting or not? I read an info page, and it said something about June? and I was a little confused by that?

A few minutes ago, I got this message on Zazzle. It's my first time getting such a message on Zazzle. The sender name is Head of Inform Department and doesn't look like an official Zazzle employee account. Does this happen often on Zazzle?

Does anyone know if you can change the paper type of postcards by default? I mean, for designs that have already been created and / or for designs that are still to come. The default paper type is 12.5 pt and a second option is 18 pt. I have ordered some, and the cards are very nice, but the thickness is too thin for postcards in my opinion. I would now like to set all the ones I have already made to 18 pt as standard. It would be very helpful if this could be done in a group (as we could change royalty rate for several products at once). It would also be good if the thicker version was set by default when creating new designs, then neither the designer nor the customer has to pay attention to this.

I apologize that I did not fully understand how public this forum was intended to be. If I had, I never would have used my entire full name. This morning a member actually asked if she could share a forum topic to Twitter. I am horrified that my participation in this forum could be shared to Twitter of all places with my real name attached. I would either like to change my forum name or delete my forum account. Is that possible? I have not figured out the settings here I guess. Again I am sorry for my ignorance.
