Payout Threshold

[Van]

I'm posting about something that affects designers with low sales volume. (I am aware that a designer can request early payout - by paying a fee.)

I wish Z would consider lowering the payment threshold in light of their marketing fees. It seems unfair that earnings for some designers would meet the threshold - until the marketing fees are taken out. As a result, sometimes money that would have been paid to that desiger has to sit on Z's books longer. As payments are currently done, I figure (rough estimate) that I need to sell at least 40% more in order to meet the required threshold for payout.

My current meager sales give me a cleared balance of $23.04. Without marketing fees (but still including excess royalty fees which already existed before 4-1-25) I would have had a balance of $42.75. Those marketing fees - $19.71 - make it a lot harder for me to get MY money and I feel that is unfair to designers who are already losing a chunk of their earnings.

@Van  many thanks for your suggestion.  I will send that onto the team for you.

I would request a $25.00 as a new payment threshold for deposit into PayPal for the reasons stated by Van.
I would like to see money I've worked so hard to earn drop into my account a little more often.
