I think since the April 1st changes, if you set your royalty over 10% it is applied.  Before April 1st it was charged when a royalty was over 14.9%.  It's fairly minor compared to the new 'marketing fees' but yeah, it does lower your earnings.

That’s because you are getting robbed at every sale.

Van's reply is correct but there is also now a marketing fee on every 3rd party sale as well. More info here: https://www.zazzle.com/assets/graphics/z5/zmisc/ambassador_program/Ambassador_Program_FAQs.pdf

Understanding new Ambassador program, the excess royalty fee apply on royalties set more then 10%, but it is a percentage applied on the royalty amount, instead that on the price of product sold. When you set the royalty, try to enter 17% for example, or other amount >10%. In the meantime you can see below the excess royalty fee amount, that will be deducted from your royalty earning of one sale. If you put an amount <10%, you will not see the excess royalty fee notification (Underlined in Red in screenshot attached)
