Cant post the actual image but its a simple photo of Claude Monet the old artist. It is 100% public domain.

Am i wrong to post a picture of a person? Doesnt say in the rules so im not seeing what im doing wrong.

Hi people,

I have a design where one product is stuck in processing since months!

is this normal? Ever happened to you? I can’t do any changes for this design, products, prices, very annoying.

is there anything to get it working again?

thanks a lot!

Hello designers, is it going to be late this month for the payments to arrive because of Thanksgiving?

Message to the devients: I see you just copied the image that I made from scratch. Did you use AI to recreate my best seller at a sub par quality? Straight up copy my SEO work. Soz not soz, reported. Hope they keep all your ill-gotten gains.

Good luck everyone for the big day tomorrow.

Any tips for what we can do as last minute prep?

Also, do sales on Black Friday usually start around midnight, early in the day, or later in the day?

I have uploaded my current designs to 1200 products (hoodies & tumblers etc) and they are all in review. This is unusual for what I usually experience when doing this. Some have been in there since Monday.

No tier ups, uploads limited to 5%, uploading to other products stuck in review. Sales down (Month to date) on last november.

It’s concerning. This time last year my T8000 account experienced a bump up in product upload limits to 3200 per day… this year my T10000 account is limited to 500 per day.

Crazy.

I have been doing amazon merch from 2-3 years now. and I actually never took it serious. my initial thinking was just keep uploading random designs and it will pickup.

i followed this strategy. i uploaded random designs without researching. and for like first 2.5 years I uploaded only 300 designs even though I was upgraded to tier 1000 from more than a year ago.

so my mistake was

1 - I did not fill my design quota. i was very slow.

2- the biggest mistake I did not research and whatever I did I never researched on amazon itself to see what is selling there etc. i would randomly pickup designs basically get my own version of that and sell. this was my biggest mistake.

so since last 5-6 months I started really getting annoyed. I thought that I have been working on this thing for over 2 years and still I am not regularly making like 10 USD monthly.

This was so irritating for that I wanted to really figure out where was I going wrong. because I was really sure now that I am doing something really wrong here. these numbers should match the effort which they dont.

the first thing I did was that I started regularly uploading as many designs as possible. and within 2-3 months I uploaded like 500 more design. keep in mind I have a graphic designer so even with such big quantity the design quality was good.

secondly I started experiencing with colors. thirdly I almost thoroughly research amazon catalog(basically as much as I could) regarding my niche and my competitors. so now I started creating designs similar to what were already selling. so now I only upload designs that are well researched.

lastly I found this out just recently that many big sellers mainly use amazon ads to bring their listings in high rankings. my top selling design from 2 years does not have a single review and some seller launched a design like 2 months back he has tons of reviews and monthly sales. after I followed that product I found out he was heavily relying on ads. so this is someone who is really good in creating good designs and then really good in advertising them.

so right from the start I want you to start using amazon ads. that's what I am doing now too. i never made any sale on amazon ads with a profit and just recently I followed the ads guide shared here on reddit for amazon ads for amazon merch and I was able to get 2 sales on spending like 3 USD.

but don't forget that you have to go through a learning curve. I believe if you follow above suggestions it would not take you as long as me to improve your sales.

The results from these changes for me have been very encouraging. and I can notice the sales graph improving.

I’m sure many of y’all have noticed the mass amounts of AI designs that are now on Amazon. I’m curious what Amazon is gonna do about it if anything. I’m thinking their first step is to limit designs so folks who use AI can’t dump uploads anymore. It’s sad to see artists getting kicked off the platform due to the sheer number of AI designs, but they are so profitable and easy to generate; and most of the designs look fine too.

I’m betting amazon will start removing low quality AI designs, or make a system to flag them…. I see lots of AI designs with major flaws like spelling mistakes or clear AI flaws.

so i noticed there is someone whose design is selling like hot cakes on amazon. like unbelievable sales. and I also noticed few more sellers launched exactly same design.

i am thinking if it was my design I would have felt terribly bad. but I am curious do people copy each other like this normally. i think it is ok to take inspiration from someones design but launching exact design seems very bad. what is the unsaid rule between high volume sellers?

Hi everyone, my level is 100, and this morning I noticed that my daily listing limit has been reduced. This feels like a mockery, considering the fact that I’ve been at level 100 for quite a while. To list even something as simple as a t-shirt, a hoodie, and a long-sleeve shirt takes months of effort.

I understand they don’t care about sellers, but I’ve never encountered such stupidity on any other platform. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just their super “unique” algorithm targeting me? Ridiculous...

Just a heads up guys, some people are scraping all of our designs and selling them for $9.99. You might want to check out their pages and make sure they aren’t selling your work and severely undercutting you. I’ve found several of mine and i haven’t even been through their entire inventory. I’ll post the links below.

It's been at 10% for a while, but I just noticed my daily limit is now at 5%. Is this a sign of something? Or just normal holiday time adjustments?

Has anyone ever gotten a negative or mid review that was mainly about something Amazon did (like shipping) and not the product removed?

I have a few evergreen seasonal designs that were just put on sale for black friday. Amazon cut the money from the royalty side.....I'm now getting 0.006 cents per sale....

Hi everyone,

Not sure if anyone else has the same issue, but I noticed that the templates provided by Amazon Merch don't match the size of their product mock-ups. I always make sure to use all the available space in the template (all the space in the art board of the Adobe Illustrator template), but later when I upload the .png file to Amazon Merch, the design shows up in a very small area on the mock-up. On the mock-ups, I can't enlarge the design past 100%.

Is there a way to get around this? Is it supposed to be like that?

Thanks for your help!

There are so many t-shirts I would love to buy from Amazon but I prefer heather because it feels, fits, and looks better. Annoyingly and inexplicably, all merch on demand shirts that I've come across tend to have a bunch of great colorful options in heather (red, purple, pink, sometimes green or blue) but ONLY for the men's style. The moment I click on the women's style, all those options are grayed out and only ugly solid colors remain along with the gray heather tones.

I can't figure out why no brighter heather colors are available in women's sizes when women seem more likely to buy them. Also wish there was a proper black heather option rather than just grays. There are so many fun t-shirts I want, but I'm currently limited to either getting the design I like in a better fitted women's cut only in gray or a solid color/material, or getting the more comfortable heather option but in a men's cut where it's much wider and frumpier looking.

Is this an Amazon thing where they simply don't offer women's heather colors at all or is it something on-demand sellers actually choose? I'm assuming the former but would love confirmation, and if anyone knows who to contact to ask for those brighter heather options to be available for women, I would really appreciate it!

Is there a way to modify Productor so it ignores punctuation when doing a trademark check?

I had a design rejected that had "blahblah word1, word2 blah bah" in the description, where both words are very generic. However "word1 word2" is an obvious trademark which I didn't notice at all, and no warning from Productor.

Not the design text, but just for example:
"Stock Market Red, Bull vs Bear Day Trader"

The title. I mean seriously. A recently designed of mine started to sell and I was just checking in on the competition and what do I see? My design, pixel for pixel, copied and listed for $4 less on merch. The guy just enlarged it and submitted it. I will of course be reaching out to Amazon to get it taken down but can't believe that person! We complain about sellers on Walmart and Temu ripping our designs' PNGs off but now we have people here on merch doing the same. Frustrating!

Hi All,

I am pretty new to the POD and currently trying to focus on building my brand with Amazon.
Currently I am still within Tier 10, awaiting my upgrade to Tier 25.

Now I am wondering, since within Tier 10, you can only upload 1 product per day; by how much will this limit increase in T25/T50/T100 etc.?

I can't find the answer online and would like to Orientate on this a little already.

Thanks in advance!

Does amazon compliance department have any direct email i can reach out to clarify about product's classification and labelling compliance?

i am trying to setup amazon ads i am trying to figure out what is right ad campaign structure.

here is what I am using currently and that too was inspired by some user on reddit too.

two campaigns one automatic one manual. both with 2 USD daily. 25 cent default bid. the issue I am facing is the budget is not being spent. even a single cent.

so do I simply increase the bid or are there any other changes I could make. and could you also tell me how could I improve my campaign structure

Hi, I am trying to get information about selling my own branded clothing on amazon. I have a good supplier for clothing who are amazing and can get me great quality hoodies and pants which are warmer and thicker than usually sold on market. Can this be my USP. I got good designers and have average information about fabrics. I am good on amazon too. What you say?

Got the dreaded email on Thursday. Tier 8K, 5 years work… my primary source of income. Racking my brain trying to figure out what design(s) or uploads triggered the termination.

Really struggling to process the news… utterly devastated.

Hi there!

I'm trying to get a better overview of my sales on Merch by Amazon. For example, I’d like to see how many sales each design has achieved in total or which designs performed best in specific months.

Is there a way to access this kind of information directly on MBA? Or do you use tools or methods to track and analyze your stats?

I’m looking for a free solution to dive deeper into my numbers. How do you handle this?

Seems like everything I upload hops into processing, then review for a day or two. Is anyone else seeing this, or am I on some sort of Amazon watchlist?

T25, 90 sales. I've had a few sports rejections lately (no more than 10 or so). Just treading too closely to team names and such. At the same time, I've got other designs that seem to be just as close, but make it through review and get uploaded.

Super weird.

Hey guys, I would be interested to know the maximum number of designs you can include in an automatic campaign. I have the feeling that after a certain number of designs the automatic campaign doesn't play out so well. Have any of you noticed this too?

so i have a product that has recently started performing well. but I want to change the brand name of product but I am worried if that will effect my keyword rankings and sales rank

I'm just curious if anyone had any thoughts on why Amazon wouldn't start POD services in the country.

Has anyone tried Amazon Haul in the US? The new low budget store? Are MOD products being listed on there?

trying to figure out what should be average number of sales for us.

i will go first.

tier 1000

10 sales monthly
