A few years ago I posted in the technical forum that the advanced royalty calculator had a bug that wouldn't allow certain prices to be set and was told that it wasn't in fact a bug but was working as designed and that I should post in feedback and suggestions instead, which I did.
Today while trying to set the price of a shower curtain to $62.95, and failing, I decided it might be time to try once again to ask for this to be fixed along with some examples to better illustrate the problem.
First, I personally like my prices to end in .95 - maybe it's just something I've gotten used to over the years, but on certain products and certain prices the advanced calculator simple won't allow it. For the shower curtain, for example, entering $62.95 rounds the number down to $62.93, then using the trick I learned years ago, I tried $62.96, then $62.97, etc., but it refused to change. So basically, there is no way to set the price to $62.95.
I do feel the problem stems from using only one decimal point in the royalty percentage field instead of two since this probably limits the rounding part of the calculation. I think this bug has been around for as long as I've been here so I'd like to suggest that Zazzle go back and finally kill this prehistoric annoyance which will help make designer's lives just a little less stressful. Thx 😃

I have the same problem as @InsideOut has.
And, it won't allow me to type in the retail price I want either, even though it is a field made for typing in. Sometimes this would be easier than going through all the royalty rates to see how close we can get.
