***taking off tinfoil hat and putting pitchfork aside***  
 
Well now, apparently I missed the excitement. Just came in to see what was happening that I got a small boatload of orders tonight (ok it was a raft-full but a little flurry nonetheless)
 
Now can ya check my cards in please

LOL, Coleen, ROLMAO....Funny coincidence:  Just sold a card I created "back in the day"...2007 @3 days after I started here....never sold 'till today.  Has 3 hoes on the face cover and a sorry piece of holly  (actually the hoes are pretty sorry too, but what the hey I was just getting my feet in the creative furrows)...it's message is "Hoe  Hoe Hoe"...so if you need a hoe...LOL

****************** mean that the sales on the 27th Saturday and 28th Sunday when GCU did not offer any discounts to the public (outside of that code error) pay us the lessor commission too?  or are those at the normal commission rate?

Hi, Linda,
 
I think that what LJ is asking about, if I may be so bold as to assume, is that for sales that happened on Saturday 11/27 and Sunday 11/28, some customers used the promo code, which was supposed to have been expired, which resulted in the 14-cent commission, which was bumped up to 28-cents, rather than the 56-cents, which would be the correct amount for a single card sale.
 
I'm curious about this, too, is the 28-cent commission going to replace what the artist would have received on those days had the code been retired?
 
Thanks!

Yeah... What Penny said..   I ask because I see in my adjusted e-m from last night that the cards sold on the 27th or 28th were only adjusted to the 28 cent price.    So.. being that those were not sale days I assume there was an error in the e-mail calculations.  Not that I sold so many cards that it amounts to a lot of money however income is progressive on a POD site so I thought I should get clarification by dates from a GCU admin.  Thanks!  

Hi Tanya.. Yes.  I saw that post.. but..  What does it mean?  The higher rate being the standard non sale earnings? Or the code error adjustment earnings for those non sale days?   I read>>>
 
 "weekend sales using the promotion code will stand but will be recalculated with the higher earnings rate"  
 
as meaning the true commission earned but my e-mail does not reflect that so I was looking to understand Mindy's post more clearly.   Sorry to be stupid about it but I just do not really understand her post.  Did you get full commission or the lower one then adjusted?  If I can ask.. If not.. that's cool too..  
 
I guess to me I thought that the consumer still got to use the code and receive the sale price on non sale days but we still got paid the normal commission..  but ..  I am now thinking.. that is not at all what happened huh?

Wow, I just checked my adjusted commission earnings emails for the black Friday and Cyber Monday adjustments and was surprised to see I wasn't receiving the .28 per card as Mindy mentioned we would receive here in the forum.  A couple of my emails in question were for bulk card orders.  One order of 150 cards and another card order of 300 cards.  So I contacted Artist Services and was shocked to learn that GCU allowed the buyer to receive the "bulk" discount price AND get an additional 50% off of that price?  Really??  Seriously??  Uggggghhhhhhhh        
 
When we use a discount coupon at a store, we can't use it on already discounted sale priced items!!!  I am very surprised you allowed both discounts.  
 
GCU, I hope you reconsider what everyone has stated here in this forum thread and reconsider making adjustments to this sale for next year.  
 
Sorry I just had to vent!!
