Hi guys,

I’ve got a question. We are thinking of removing one of our older items from our TF portfolio. Will this affect our total sales number, sales value and commission rate? Basically Im wondering if all sales and value connected to this item will be deducted from our account once we remove it.

Thanks a lot, UDS

I guess no (at least for sales number) because there’s one of the top aothors who has no items… But an official answer would clarify :)

No your rate is based on your sales, and regardless of if an item is still for sale here, the previous sales on it are still recorded. So if you remove an older item, your sales numbers and rates will not change at all.
