I don't think it's any of our business what they earn - that's a private matter between employer / employee or company and contractor.
Once again this discussion has degenerated into an in-house spat and the presenters wave will be well amused. Why on earth can't we discuss in a sensible, non-accusatory manner what the thread is all about, which is examples of presenters who demonstrate that they've been reading what's said here? Step down from your high horses and take a deep breath.

Did I say otherwise?I assume you mean everyone, whatever their viewpoint... should get off their high horses?
As it's us who are paying their wages then I wouldn't mind to know how much we are contributing towards it.

if you worked in a shop, would you tell people what you earned... just because they pay for items?
Most of the presenters will operate through their own Ltd companies and as such their accounts are by law available for all to see. All part of the payoff that they can pay less tax than than someone earning the equivalent on PAYE.
I will be most pleased to hear of the presenters reacting to comments about:
not giving sizes/measurements on products before they've gone limited stock
spending far too much time talking about personal projects (eg: books) and personal life
not giving suitability information clearly and consistently (vegetarian/diabetic etc)
Why shouldn't QVC customers know what they earn? If you know what Tom Cruise makes per movie, I'm pretty sure QVC presenters are about Z minus. I personally couldn't give a toss what they earn, but let's be honest the presenters don't keep anything else private though do they, the times I've channel hopped I've heard them talk about their parents, their holidays, their husbands, their kids, their diets, their weddings, moving home etc, so it's selective privacy then, they only want you to know about them if it benefits them financially.............so they're not exactly a private bunch over there on QVC.
