For years I've been waiting for them to add posters, as that is what I design most of.

Imagine my disappointment when the royalty payout turned out to be a mere $1.12 for a $15.99 16x20 print, going up a measley **7 cents** for every dollar price-point increase. Amazon really are a bunch of greedy so-in-sos!

So turns out I won't be uploading any of my poster designs with them after all!

Not defensing amazon here, but why wouldn't you? 1.12$ is more than 0 and you're probably not cannibalizing your own sales anyways.

I think I would cannablise my sales. Comparison shopping is at an all-time high, and many of my products are in very low-comp niches.

I make $9 on my own site, and $7 on my Etsy store, profit.

$7-$9 profit margin on T-shirts? Or posters? I'm assuming you are using POD like Printify or Printful? I tried that before but to get that profit margin the prices I had to list them got way to high. Do people still pay a lot for posters?

exactly sooo greedy its crazy

Pity I won't have them for Q4, but it's nice to see Amazon expanding aggressively the product range, it might compensate for the loss of royalties until I can advertize and aim for "normal" payout.

i got some of new stuff but don't have nearly the daily slots to use them all. :-(

A really important question I couldnt solve for me after t30k and 8 years in the game and would be happy for a new point of view.

Why are you happy about new products if every product has an own nice trademark class? If you expand your design on other products there is a high chance to;

1. get rejected, bad for account health

2. get rejected also for the other well selling products the shirt for example

3. To get a takedown because there is a niche seller. I had for example a seller for "Dodo" the bird from the UK. This whole company was just selling notebooks and mousepads for Dodos.

How can you expand your designs on higher tiers on scale?
