I don't need to up date anythingAll that is needed is for these thieving ss to send me my money !!!
Also, they are still displaying and selling products with my imagesThis is a DIRECT VIOLATION OF MY COPYRIGHT and prosecution proceedings will be started within the next to days
Once again...NOTHING NEEDS TO BE UPDATED !!! They do not seem to have had any trouble sending me payments in the past, so everything is up to dateThis is nothing more than an attempt on the part or these low-lifes to make things difficult, and this is exactly the kind of garbage on their part that this entire complaint is about

Funds that are captured in this manner are later removed at the discretion of the financial institution (the pending transactions roll off)If an account is showing a duplicate charge for a Zazzle order, Zazzle recommends the customer review their account activity over the course of the next couple of business days to verify that the funds are released

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/06/08) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
We have been artists for Zazzle since about Sept where we had a signed, written VIP agreement with Zazzle through Rob GreenleafWe have received 1099s artist royalty IRS forms since
As apart of the VIP written agreement Zazzle was provided with hard copies of our social security cardsZazzle paid us in installments for our time to load artwork onto their site on top of artist royalty commission
We never received any notice from Zazzle that they were changing their procedures to pay our artist commissionTheir change required the entry of the legal name of the artist which is what we had entered based on what entered into by the VIP written agreementZazzle set up our account entering tax information and created our shop, loaded products with our imagesZazzle's Disney partner used our artwork posters in a TV show
Zazzle added a field in the commission payment screen changing the rules after years of paying us commission where they did not notify usZazzle has not communicated with us by email for yearsThe only information we receive from Zazzle is through their PayPal commission statementNo notice of their commission change was sent on their commission statementNo information on the changes to Zazzle commission payments was posted for artists when they signed into their accounts, on their commission status page or on the account information pageZazzle concealed this change information in forums where we would have no reason to view their forum
Zazzle does not address how artist royalties will be paid for artists that do not give their legal names such as turning them over to unclaimed propertyThe sneaky method Zazzle used to require a legal name enables them to keep artist royalties
We have the 1099s issued by Zazzle for the past years and the original VIP signed agreement to prove our royalties were paid and properly reported to the IRS
The claim of Zazzle of needing days to verify artist social security card information is outlandish since employers have online access to e-verify immediately
Our art is sold through print on demand competitors of Zazzle that e-verified our legal name years ago and we have never experienced any sort of late payment on commission

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:The company refused to acknowledge and apologize for:- Blaming me for having default settings on their product that are not fit for printZazzle representatives acted as if it was my fault their product isn't fit to print by defaultThen, in the Revdex.com response, again try to place blame on me for and insinuate that I took advantage of the credit by getting something else with itthe credit didn't cover the cost of replacing what I wanted, and why would I get something that isn't set properly at default?- Offering a replacement but then only crediting the account for half of the cost to effectively replace the product (not even counting shipping), and then refusing to just refund the money.- Providing misinformation on every occasion I had to make contact_Crediting half of the cost for the replacement was not explained when I was told I would receive a replacement_Additional shipping charges were not mentioned_I was told after further contact that shipping would be upgraded to premium at no chargePremium shipping took longer than regular shipping(But it was free) _A representative told me that the part of my second shipment that didn't arrive (even though their delivery service marked it delivered), would be expedited in both production and shipping and that it would be overnighted by a different carrier and arrive the next day or the day afterNONE of that happened(The replacement was free)- When replacement shipment for the second order finally did arrive, inexplicably, in my locked USPS mailbox, five days after it was reported as delivered by their shipping agent, which was not USPS, it only contained 1/of the shipment. The company did eventually refund my money, which satisfies my number one complaint (but doesn't cover my time expenses), and anyone with whom I spoke was polite (less the response at Revdex.com) and professionalI will never place another order with this companyThey have too many competitors, and I have never had a problem with any of the others I have used.

Funds that are captured in this manner are later removed at the discretion of the financial institution (the pending transactions roll off)If an account is showing a duplicate charge for a Zazzle order, Zazzle recommends the customer review their account activity over the course of the next couple of business days to verify that the funds are released

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/06/08) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
We have been artists for Zazzle since about Sept where we had a signed, written VIP agreement with Zazzle through Rob GreenleafWe have received 1099s artist royalty IRS forms since
As apart of the VIP written agreement Zazzle was provided with hard copies of our social security cardsZazzle paid us in installments for our time to load artwork onto their site on top of artist royalty commission
We never received any notice from Zazzle that they were changing their procedures to pay our artist commissionTheir change required the entry of the legal name of the artist which is what we had entered based on what entered into by the VIP written agreementZazzle set up our account entering tax information and created our shop, loaded products with our imagesZazzle's Disney partner used our artwork posters in a TV show
Zazzle added a field in the commission payment screen changing the rules after years of paying us commission where they did not notify usZazzle has not communicated with us by email for yearsThe only information we receive from Zazzle is through their PayPal commission statementNo notice of their commission change was sent on their commission statementNo information on the changes to Zazzle commission payments was posted for artists when they signed into their accounts, on their commission status page or on the account information pageZazzle concealed this change information in forums where we would have no reason to view their forum
Zazzle does not address how artist royalties will be paid for artists that do not give their legal names such as turning them over to unclaimed propertyThe sneaky method Zazzle used to require a legal name enables them to keep artist royalties
We have the 1099s issued by Zazzle for the past years and the original VIP signed agreement to prove our royalties were paid and properly reported to the IRS
The claim of Zazzle of needing days to verify artist social security card information is outlandish since employers have online access to e-verify immediately
Our art is sold through print on demand competitors of Zazzle that e-verified our legal name years ago and we have never experienced any sort of late payment on commission

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:The company refused to acknowledge and apologize for:- Blaming me for having default settings on their product that are not fit for printZazzle representatives acted as if it was my fault their product isn't fit to print by defaultThen, in the Revdex.com response, again try to place blame on me for and insinuate that I took advantage of the credit by getting something else with itthe credit didn't cover the cost of replacing what I wanted, and why would I get something that isn't set properly at default?- Offering a replacement but then only crediting the account for half of the cost to effectively replace the product (not even counting shipping), and then refusing to just refund the money.- Providing misinformation on every occasion I had to make contact_Crediting half of the cost for the replacement was not explained when I was told I would receive a replacement_Additional shipping charges were not mentioned_I was told after further contact that shipping would be upgraded to premium at no chargePremium shipping took longer than regular shipping(But it was free) _A representative told me that the part of my second shipment that didn't arrive (even though their delivery service marked it delivered), would be expedited in both production and shipping and that it would be overnighted by a different carrier and arrive the next day or the day afterNONE of that happened(The replacement was free)- When replacement shipment for the second order finally did arrive, inexplicably, in my locked USPS mailbox, five days after it was reported as delivered by their shipping agent, which was not USPS, it only contained 1/of the shipment. The company did eventually refund my money, which satisfies my number one complaint (but doesn't cover my time expenses), and anyone with whom I spoke was polite (less the response at Revdex.com) and professionalI will never place another order with this companyThey have too many competitors, and I have never had a problem with any of the others I have used.
