Question about Zazzle report

[madelaide]

I had a sale at Zazzle on July 17th and my commission was 2.50.  However, it was not credited to my balance yet.  In the sales report, it appears as "pending".  Any experience with that?

Yeah, it takes a while for the processing to finish. Maybe a few weeks. And once your payment becomes "cleared", then you will be paid the following month if the balance is greater than $25. If you never go beyond the $25 dollar minimum, then you will be paid the following year.

They tend to hold the funds until after they've made, shipped and the sale is through without any hitches. Potentially I assume it means our money can then vanish if there's a quality issue. The funds usually appear cleared within a month.

Thanks for your replies.

With just a few items in Zazzle and Cafepress, and a few sales in the first, it seems an interesting field to be more active.

I only recently joined zazzle as I've been separating my stock from my more artsy stuff. I made my first sale within days and I'm managing a sale a day off about 6 images on there, while it's only postcards and pennies I'm still happy to see stuff selling.  I think to an extent the lack of the community feel of say RedBubble does make it more of a seller.
