@Paul , let your paranoia go overboard especially if you're a big earner on shapeways
Check and double check anything about your sales and payments - trust is earned and when you give it away just like that you might get what i had to endure since 2010 !
I was asked by Ana to "weigh in" on this thread from a
previous one where i was asked by
ceramicwombat why do i feel things are crooked at shapesways ... (i'm done with pretty words and EU politeness)
It begun at the end of 2010 , where over $1200 of my logged markup was missing ! - hounders of dollars were skimmed for each of the last 3 pay-period of 2010 .... the whole story is here:

After 3 weeks of no reply to my emails i threatened i will take action - only then Bart intervened and my money was paid in 2 installments...
Here is what Ana wrote me after i reopened my shop in march 2010:

But that did not stop - i posted countless posts of sales not logged in the xsl file, co creators fulfilled but not logged , co creator jobs appearing but aren't found in the system (funny how they had customers names on them...) - i wont bore you more with this.
My blunt conclusion is Shapeways has been skimming my sales & my markups and i cant say i'm the only shop owner who suffered this shameful conduct.
I'm not fooled by sweet talking this issue as "system errors" , this site is NO LONGER in Beta
Today i found out i get ZERO markup on a model on the gifts page:

Click on my
Dymaxion World Map model , add it to your cart - you will see the that the price is the cost to print WITHOUT my markup !! :twisted:
I demand to know all and every single sale this model has made and to be paid my markup !
No more excuses - shapeways STOP skimming and stealing my sales and markups !!
Enough is Enough !!
