Other designs you may like . . . (royalties set at 10% or less)

It seems many people have set their royalties at 10% or less, as I can tell by looking at the "other designs you may like."  That's really sad!  All the hard work put into creating and designing, now is worth pennies.  I guess if people come to Zazzle for a bargain, lower priced items will sell first.  Although I think bargain shoppers go to Walmart or the Dollar Store for bargains, as they are way cheaper than the products sold at Zazzle, even if the royalties is set lower than 10%.  Therefore, I don't understand why creators would set their royalties so low, unless they think their product isn't worth that much.  In that case, I think it would be best for them to find another (and easier) way to make money.

I like to tell myself that “I am not on sale.” It’s a good reminder to always know my worth and value my work.

Honestly, there is no way to prove this. I know sellers who have raised their rates and still selling products like gangbusters. You're also assuming the "lower priced items will sell first." You have no proof of this. Customers buy something because they like the design whether it is higher than another design or not.

I'm agree about this. Setting royalties too low is like making customers lose the Zazzle sense of high quality product and designs. This, step by step, can become a damage.

I do not know about the trends of designs for designing on products like cards for most traditional/local events, but when I design new graphics on Zazzle products I consider Zazzle customer target as worldwide.

Personally I'm facing with much damages against me, while arising working on online platforms as freelancer, on Zazzle too, after errors, anomalies, scammings not created from. It is really much ununderstandable how supports and general authorities too are so indifferent, leaving everything to the case.

When the worldwide overall intelligences and trends are stupid, clogged and dull, many others are dragged along who remain blocked. So, it opens a new false hoping...

Personally, I cannot do anything more...
