Hello.  I have a store on Zazzle (for how much longer I don�t know), but I don�t have anything positive to say about Zazzle.  They don�t care about the shopowners at all, and I say that based on how they treat and approach the shopowners:  With disrespect.  If one is a "Syrupy Sally" and eats the rear end of the company and the rear end of the moderator (ematson...his name is Eric) on the forum (who shouldn�t be the moderator of anything with his lack of communication skills), things are fine.  Zazzle likes people who eat their rear end.  Even though I have thousands of individually created products in my store, I�ve sold very little, or at least that�s all that they�ve told me that I�ve sold.  Some shopowners have wondered whether they are making sales but are not being told about the sale so the company can keep all the money, like some affiliate marketing firms do to stiff the affiliates.   As I said, Eric, one of the moderators of the forum, is an anus and does not have people skills.  As others have said here, Zazzle made major changes at the beginning of June and many people�s sales tanked.  But in Zazzle�s mind they know best and can do no wrong.  They are one of the most incompetent companies I�ve had the misfortune of dealing with.  Just their (new) website alone has turned some shopowners away from making any more products because the website is terrible since they changed it.  The "Syrupy Sally�s" (that's what I call them) are about all that are left on the Zazzle forum and they troll in favor of Zazzle calling the new site, �fresh and clean� and saying, �I have no complaints.�  The new website jumps uncontrollable up and down when you�re trying to work on something, you can�t find things, it has double scrolls on the right side (one scroll right next to another scroll), invisible fonts, invisible boxes one is supposed to check (even though you can�t see the box), and formatting tools are in one place one day and in another place the next.   It�s Java-heavy and it�s a mess.  The product quality seems to be going downhill and there are a lot more complaints about quality, especially in shirts and mugs.  I�ve spent years working on my store and something happened recently which completely turned me off from the company so I want no more to do with them.  It disgusts me the thousands of hours my partner and I spent working on our store only to have it just sit and when I complain about lack of sales and about the site, I�m reprimanded by this Eric.  They only want cheerleading and pro-Zazzle words on their forum.  They don�t want to hear the reality.  So I don�t recommend that anyone buy anything from Zazzle or starting a store there.  It�s only going to get worse and it�s been going down hill all year.  I won�t be surprised if the company is sold, taken over or goes out of business.  When and if that happens, they deserve it.

Now about this Eric that I mentioned.  He deserves a paragraph all about him:

He talks down to the shopowners as if he�s talking to children.  He urges shopowners who don�t cheerlead for Zazzle to watch their words and be careful what they say.  I thought we were all adults but Eric seems to think otherwise and feels his role as a moderator means he must be bullying and parental.  I�ve been on many internet forums as an observer and/or as a participant and Eric is one of the most offensive and abrasive moderators I�ve experienced and observed.  Other moderators I�ve observed on forums expressed themselves as equals to the other members on the forum, instead of being above them.  However, the role of moderator seems to be a power trip for Eric unfortunately.  He needs to be in a different job at Zazzle.  He does not possess the social skills for moderating a forum.  His style is more closely that of an internet troll than a diplomatic moderator with people and communication skills.
