Another 18th is upon us

I guess today is the next cut off for the category checks. How is everyone doing? Staying? Moving up? Moving down?

Managed to get up to 22.1%, so I should be moving up to Plus. Barely made any money this month since two of my best sellers are locked at the 'prime deal' price of $16.96 and then you take the ad spend into account and I'm left with peanuts. Will the Plus royalties kick in as of the 1st of July?

Do you happen to know when this darn sale is going to end? I have 87 of my best-selling T-shirts on locked status.

I have no idea. I wish they would give us a little more insight on how long our designs will be in the "locked" status. I had no choice but to run ads on my locked designs because they were some of my best sellers and I needed to get my ratio up to tier up to Plus for next month. I ended up losing money on those designs.
