I am So tired of each time I am working on a design I have to click off this annoying popup that covers up most of the page - is this how we are losing  self referrals I have to ask?      But that aside,  I'm working ... Not buying.. it is VERY annoying.. if I were just a customer - I think this would be enough for me to say Goodbye - and go elsewhere.. popups are annoying to just about everyone .. I'd think Zazzle would know that - the internet is full of junk mail & unsolicited ads..  and this qualifies IMHO - Please Stop or at least give us  a way in our profiles to click an option to not have this in our faces.. I bet I click off of these 20/ 30 times a day..  drives me nuts

I haven't been getting this popup?

I can't recall what my pc settings are but you might be able disable popups on your device.

I don't know about customers, but it's definitely very annoying for me! We shouldn't be getting them after we are already logged in and working, just because we happen to open a new tab!

Deb, great possible solution for shops/SKs, you mentioned--

"give us a way in our profiles to click an option to not have this..."

@Zazzle, please consider this solution.

Having to get rid of the popup repeatedly hour after hour, day after day...cuts down on our production time..frustrating and .inefficient use of time.

I posted about this before Here but I still get that thing when I hit sell... almost. every. time.

I hate pop ups and when I see them on other sites I immediately bounce off.

Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback on this again. I don't have any update regarding this popup but I'll make our team aware of this once again.

All the best,

Pádraig 🙂

I have picked up sometimes as many as 125 trackers and there are ads leading to similar offsite products on all my point of sale page, just while trying to upload a few products. I bought ADBLOCKER so I could work. 

We are now competing with merchandise displayed from other stores on our product point of sale pages. These products have beautiful mockups, lower prices, or higher prices made with better fabric. 

You can turn on your ADBLOCKER and adjust your settings all you want, but that doesn't mean spontaneous online buyers have their blockers on. ad4.png

And why do I see Banner ads of other Zazzle Designers on my page? I did not see an offering to buy banners and have them displayed on other Creators' pages?

Shelli- you have been cracking me up since I first started reading the forum in 2016.

@gardenstyle , those towels are appearing in your 'recently viewed' section of your account. That is not an advert. Just items you have actually looked at on the site.

Thank you,

No you are 100% wrong, James. LOOK AT THE PART THAT SAYS SPONSORED. Those are non-Zazzle products being sold on Creator pages. I think I have worked here long enough to know what's on a page.  Beneath our previously looked at items are two rows of off -site ads for Wayfair, Amazon, and other major department stores with their prices posted that are displayed on CREATOR  product point of sale pages. Most products are less expensive, or more expensive made of higher quality textiles. I have uploaded many copies of this and sent it to Zazzle support. I had to purchase AD BLOCKER just to work on my own product pages because I can't stand to look at those other ads as my sales tank. Perhaps you have AD BLOCKER turned on and you don't see Zazzle running ads on CREATOR pages as though we were loss-leaders.  Likely many CREATORS aren't aware of the ADS because they use an ad-blocker. However, I spent half a day's work sending screenshots which Zazzle Support requested of these ads, as though they were unaware. If I could upload them here I would show you. too. I have also reported to support the number of TRACKERS and ADS displayed when I am on Zazzle trying to work. Without AD-BLOCKER I have picked up hundreds of TRACKERS in a few hours from just Zazzle. This indicates how much Zazzle respects the work of CREATORS, and how concerned they are for our success and for how much we may have personally invested in Zazzle. It doesn't matter, does it? It's a numbers game. There are just millions of CREATORS for Zazzle to use.
