I changed my mind. I think the title was too harsh.

Sorry.

I've never been on there but from what I heard a lot of people left because they had reduced the percentage. Don't know what the percentage is but a lot of them left and went to Zazzle.

And what I hear at least from this forum is that Zazzle has become an unproductive source of income.  I mean, is there anyone here actually making decent money (say +$500 a month) on Zazzle at 15%?

I do, but my royalties are not set at 15%. Mine are set much higher. You have a choice of the amount of royalties to set. I don't make as much as I use to since they did away with the volume bonus, but still make more than $500. a month. Sells do keep declining and hopefully they will stop sooner rather than later.

do you think your sales are declining due to Zazzle policy or competition? Perhaps, like cafe press, our micro images are there for much less, forcing us to compete with ourselves? Just thinking out loud here.

Personally I think it was because they have changed their policies.
