ZBlog Support

When zazzle first came out with the bonus program it was great. It gave everyone something to strive for and a way to really show off your efforts at promotion and selling techniques.
Well, while its good that zazzle is growing and expanding, it really just about put a hold on bonus earnings or at the very least vastly lowered your possible bonus amounts.

Initially you would get a bonus if you referred your own sales, referred sales of others or if you sold products that were not referrals at all. That was great and was an excellant incentive to promote more.

Now, with the onset of several other zazzle offsites such as germany, australia, canada etc. etc.. your losing bonus funds that you have rightfully earned.

It was originally set, that once you sold at least $99 worth of items then you would start earning a bonus for your sales.
Now, you have to not only earn the $99 from the main .com site, but if the buyer (even if from the US) goes thru any of the addon domains for zazzle, then you also have to meet its minimum before you will get any bonus from those sales thru the offsite domains.
What makes it worse is the fact that their not different sites, there all copies of the main zazzle site, with the same products. The only difference is the currency used, the main page and the domain ending like .de, .au, .ca etc...

So now if you sale a total of $500 dollars worth of items, but lets say only $98 from the US main .com site, and then increments of $40 from .au, $40 from .ca, $50 from .de etc. etc... then you would not be making any volume bonus because you did not meet the minimum paremeters for each individual site.

THAT IS PURE BULLSHIT AND PATHETIC........
DONT GIVE US SOMETHING AND THEN TAKE IT AWAY!

Either combine them all into one, for one minimum balance or give us the option to opt out and not even offer our products on the other domain extension sites.

Personally, ive had US customers with US address's, make purchases thru the .au site because thats what they found on the internet search. Meaning, they paid more for it, but I didnt get any volume bonus for it because the bonus system is diluted to the point its hard to earn anything.

I know the program is exactly that, A BONUS, but dont give something to us and then take it slowly away, hopeing no one will notice if you do it a little bit at a time.

You may have Disney, StarWars and tons of music groups, but what makes the diversity and the massive bulk quantities of products the brings in the majority of the customers is US~ THE LITTLE SHOP KEEPERS THAT POUR OUR HEARTS, SOUL AND TIME INTO ZAZZLEING!

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU! I have contacted Pro support and go a lame excuse about how difficult it is for them to combine the bonus'! I cry BS right along with you! I missed out on 1 order of over $400 from Florida because she went through the AU site!
