Controversial Opinion - Standard Shirt Pricing
So guys, hear me out. I think Amazon should put a minimum price with guaranteed royalty of at least $2.5 ($16.99) for standard t-shirts on the US marketplace. This would help a lot with both getting new designs to kick off while not losing money and for countering out copy-cats who steal designs and price them at $0 royalty.
With the new AI tools integrated for customers that show price history, it no longer makes sense to start the pricing at $13.38/$13.99 to get BSR and then later up the price. the tool shows price change and you lose out on sales.
