I've just come from working on some postcards and greeting cards and noticed that the attribution removal box is now labeled "Remove Independent Creator Credit".   In my considered opinion, Zazzle has just made things worse--much, much worse--for designers who use their own attributions.  Quite frankly, the move seems calculated to discourage the practice of using our own attributions entirely.  Paying the 5- or 10-cents will not remove a designer-generated logo or attribution causing the customer to wonder just what it is their paying for.  And, the designer will be blamed for including their logos. 

This is/is becoming an ongoing issue between Zazzle and designers.  Customers should not even be made aware of it with this nickel-and-dime charge.  Please take the attribution box off the listing page altogether and put it on the Post for Sale page rolling the removal cost into the overall pricing of the cards/postcards.  That way designers have control over how to market their creations and customers are oblivious to the process.   Unless, of course, Zazzle really is trying to force designers into abandoning their own branding. 

I didn't think it possible, but for me, the whole attribution thing has now gone from bad to worse.

KUDOS to Col's   (I wasn't sure what color a kudo should be so I chose orange)

Hello @Pádraig I would like to ask for help!

I received an email from Zazzle, that I have to re-create a new version without the text overlapping the Creator's Attribution. They prevent any future orders or delete the orders.I modified my cards, but they are all still in "design changes pending review" status.

Unfortunately, I only saw afterwards in the Zazzle community that I could remove the "Creator's Attribution QR code" in Edit details/Product Merchandising.

And I wouldn't have had to change the design and still be able to sell it. I am very desperate.

Please help me if you can!

- Can "design changes" be reversed? I would modify Edit details/Product Merchandising, could I remove the "Creator's Attribution QR code"? And I could still sell it this week.

- OR is it possible to review faster? Unfortunately Zazzle added than the "Creator's Attribution QR code" maybe in 2022 year. These are my older products. This problem, it's not my fault, I'm very sad.

What can I do? Those My best-selling Christmas cards so significant of income is lost if it takes many days to approve.😭

Thanks if you can help! Lily
