Interesting. They're selling some of my Easter cards. I can see by my sales history that I've sold individual cards to a buyer from Irvington, NJ...which I'm assuming is the Ebay seller from the same town. That's quite a mark-up! Not sure what to make of it.
I used to sell for many years on eBay, I doubt it’s against the eBay rules. But I wonder now what Zazzle Black is?
They're all over with also a Youtube channel and a FB Page. Their FB Page has 23K followers and they recently (Feb 29) posted about their new eBay store. There's also an older abandoned FB page for this same person/group where they were sharing Zazzle products directly, all from their apparently now-defunct store. Maybe they decided it was better for their needs to re-sell on eBay rather than run their own Z store.
The first card listed in their eBay store (link here) is @grafixmom 's (link here). A good bit of a markup but still inline with what you'd pay for a nice Hallmark. Also shows 9 available/1 sold so they probably bought 10 off of Zazzle and mail them themselves to the buyer?
Anyway, for those of you with cards here, you might want to reach out to this person to try to get self-referrals out of it. Like, hey, I am the designer of this card and pleased you're selling it, but if you use this link when ordering them, then I earn a little change, too, and doing that absolutely in no way increases the cost to you .... You might also be able to interest them in doing designs custom for them.
Seems to be a moot point now...apparently their store is now "sold out." Go figure.
Huh. If you click on the individual card link from my post above it has this at the top of the listing
This listing was ended by the seller on Thu, Mar 28 at 1:16 PM because the item is no longer available.
Wonder if Zazzle or Creators reached out with IP concerns and he took everything down.
Absolutely. But eBay will „nickel and dime“ them to death and I do not envy them when they have to do their taxes, it was a nightmare for me each year. 🤦🏻♀️
