Lower Base Prices? Makes sense to me...

[mcmxmas]

Well, they had the Terms Agreement change - which forced us to lower our royalties... I wonder if Zazzle would ever force the printers and substrate providers to lower the original price of the goods? That would be effective in selling my products more than me sacrificing a few percentage points off my markup. 

For instance a Placemat (1) $12.67? Lamp $43 - $87? Pillows $28 - $78... BEFORE any markup? How about it Zazzle?? Give us some wiggle room to add our markup. LOVE to hear your thoughts...

I am missing something here - where in the Terms did they force us to lower our royalties?

I believe the 10% was "suggested" by Z.  You can still set your royalty higher BUT any royalty set over the "suggested" 10% will incur a 5% excess royalty fee.  You may be in for a shock if you view the changes that took effect on 4-1-25 such as the new marketing royalty fee which will cut deeply into your royalty earned on 3rd party sales - anywhere from 35% to 50% of it, depending on the product category.  There are a lot of discussions about that on the forums.
