Non-Contributing Account Fees
Why am I being charged this fee?
You, Zazzle and the Site thrive best when we all contribute to provide the best Content and features to Users. As a result, your Account will be deemed a “Non-Contributing Account” if you haven’t either (i) published a Public Product, or (ii) had a Referred Sale (as defined in the Ambassador Program Agreement) attributed to your Account in the previous fifteen (15) month period.
How often is this fee charged?
Non-Contributing Accounts will be subject to a monthly “Non-Contributing Account Fee” (listed below per domain) in accordance with Section 24 our Terms of Use (TOU). Your Account may be deemed “contributing” again at any time, once you publish a Public Product or have a Referred Sale attributed to your Account.
How is this fee deducted?
Non-Contributing Account Fees will only be deducted from existing Earnings in your Account until your Account becomes contributing or your balance becomes zero - your Account balance cannot go negative because of Non-Contributing Account Fees, and Zazzle will NEVER charge your credit card or PayPal account for these fees. The currency used is based on the payment preferences as displayed in your Payment Settings under the Earnings tab of your Account. For more details see our User Agreement.
The following is a list of the fees deducted from Earnings on a monthly basis for Non-Contributing Accounts:
| Currency | Non-Contributing Account Fee |
| USD | 2.00 |
| AUD | 2.50 |
| EUR | 2.00 |
| BRL | 6.00 |

| NZD | 2.50 |
| CHF | 2.00 |

How can I avoid this fee in the future?
