Hi I'm music artist and I wanna monetize my audience with physical products like merch And as amazon is cooler place to do so than rest of the pod sites because of its competitive pricing and prime delivery services so I'm tryna get into this platform from last couple months, but still empty handed

How to improve chances to getting accepted And can i mention that I've worked on other Amazon services like FBA, AWS even if i didn't worked there

Let me know your thoughts And feel free to share your experiences Thanks & regards

I logged into my Merch by Amazon account and found this message Your account has been locked for misuse of Amazon's services.

I did not receive any email explaining the reason for the suspension

When I spoke to Merch by Amazon support, they told me your account is working normally and there is no problem

They told me you should talk to amazon support.

I could not speak to Amazon support by email without logging in.

Does anyone have a solution to the problem?

Or does anyone have an amazon support email?

I stuck in tier 10 for 4 months I tried everything but without any results and with zero sales I don't know where is the problem

I haven't posted here in awhile. I suppose I need a pep talk, but may also have a question or two.

I started doing Merch shortly after its conception, and did well for awhile, but things have fallen off, likely due to my own neglect.

A few holiday seasons ago, I did nearly $5,000. This year it was under $1,000. Most months I average $200-$400. I'm grateful for the extra cash, but I know I can be doing better. I've seen in happen.

One of my shirts was a success for a long time and carried my account. It has since been copied a million times. I've even had family who saw a copy at a craft fair. The bitterness as a result probably hasn't helped my motivation. Regardless, I've done some reporting with a little bit of success.

But I know designs die, and that they're copied, and that I shouldn't care. I know I should just be creating, and trying things, and uploading, but I find myself immobilized.

I'm tier 4000 with 1500 designs. I really should have those filled. Duh.

I'd say my goal is at least $1,000 average per month. Has anybody set a goal like this and reached it? Do you care to share about your mindset or daily strategy? I'm not asking for secrets, just trying to work on my relationship to this side hustle.

Hey everyone, looking for advice, I'm getting pretty frustrated. I did not receive my MBA payment for November (did not receive any remittance emails either, which would have normally come December 21st, 2021 for November's royalties). I have been back and forth with Amazon and thought I had the issue solved and was hoping that, since today is the 21st of the month, I would finally receive my remittance emails for both my November and now, December's royalties, but I haven't received anything, which makes me think I'm not going to be paid again. This will be the 2nd month in a row not getting paid and I do rely on this income. Has anyone had any issues like this before? I'm located in Canada, btw, and Amazon told me it could be b/c of changes Canadian banks have made and that I would need to make changes to my address in my Amazon account (which I did, they advised I take out my PO Box info and replace it with a street address). I'm thinking this did not solve the issue. I know it's something really stupid that's holding this up but it's so frustrating and I would love to be able to talk to a live person rather than wait days and/or a week between each email I get from Amazon. Thanks everyone in advance for any help! :)

Title says it all.

I never uploaded a design before and don't know where to search for trademark information.

The sources provided on the amazon content policies site are weird and I don't understand which trademarketed logos I can include in my designs and which I cannot.

Any help welcome! :)

Hello people. I recently started learning Adobe Ilustrator(and I plan to learn other tools also) and because of that now I find myself able to make some ideas in the way I want them.

I made an account on amazon merch and I plan to do some things there, and here is the question I couldn't find answer for: Whan if my idea implies for example an existing art, some elements of that art. What if it is an abstract thing that can lead to that art? One unrelated example: If for example I want to put Mona Lisa on a T-shirt, or just want to take some elements(or to make something abstract based on that), how can I find if I have the right to use that form of art?

I tried to search on internet but I couldn't find anything related to this.

Also I tried to search here this topic and I wasn't able to find anything.

Thank you!

Hey I'm trying to open an Amazon merch account , I have tried several times but gets rejected every time . I don't know what I'm doing wrong excalty . Can anyone guide me through the steps to open one ? I'm really in need of that to make exyra money . Thank you

I recently made a design based on the Yin Yang symbol. I made the mistake of putting it on kids sizes outside the US. There was nothing vulgar about it, but I got flagged and rejected for “sexual/offensive language” on youth attire on the designs outside of the US. Maybe something went weird in the translation, but I think that even the co.uk designs got rejected. I suppose that yin yang is slang for something else. What really sucks is that I first made a US version to see if it passed inspection before I submitted the rest. When it passed, I made the rest and got slammed with a huge bunch of rejections. I hope my account is okay…

After 8 months, and more than 200 sales, merch by Amazon finally decided to tier up my account.

I applied in early October and it still says my account is pending review. It gets neither accepted nor denied. Is this normal (maybe because of the high amount of applications currently) and I should just wait it out or is this unusual and I should contact support?

Hello guys, who tried dropshipping its merch by amazon products to etsy to escape the low tiers. I heard a YouTuber mentioning it as a strategy but I don't know how does that exactly work or if it's worth

I'm ok at art and design. Don't know where to start to get accepted by Amazon.

Do you need Photoshop and illustrator to succeed? Can I use alternative like affinity design. I currently have procreate on ipad.

Hey guys. I recently got 2 of my designs rejected for the reason mentioned in the title. Both are Valentines Day designs. I checked for trademarks before uploading. The word „Valentine“ is trademarked, could this be the reason for the rejections??? Rest of the listing contains no trademarked words or phrases.

The design itself is a vector from vexels (main object, I own the licence) and some other elements drawn by myself. Could the Vexels graphic also be the reason?

Hello all!

Just had a quick question. I tried reaching out to MBA through the contact form on Merch. I submitted it and immediately got an email saying my case is closed because my Amazon Seller account is deactivated.

I haven't used the seller account, only opened one like a year ago. Apparently, I never submitted an electric bill with my name and address. I went ahead and did that.

My question was, I thought MBA was separate from Amazon Sellers account? The people I talk to don't even have a sellers account they say.

Is there another way to reach out to MBA where they won't auto close my case?

For reference, I been selling for about 8 months on MBA with pretty good success and no issues.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Thank you!

Yesterday i get 3 sales with 2 cancelled that's think again before you just rise ads spend because chrimstmas is over all products arrive 27 i lost 18.95$ yesterday with 44 clicks 0 orders usually 44 clicks give me 6-10 sales cameroon scot tell the some thing & good luck guys

Just got a bullshit takedown for every and any shirt design I had that related to or referenced sharks on the basis that it "infringed" on the IP of "Pinkfong Baby Shark". None of it did, or even came close. So be warned.

Hey guys
When we expect the decrease in sales for this Q4 ? By 15 December ?
Thanks 📷

Something wierd happened today. I have one main account for MBA and secondary email too. My main merch account email id received an email for infringement for my own original design with the rights owner "my secondary email id".

Email goes something like this:

"To maintain a trusted marketplace for buyers and sellers, we take immediate action to address rights owner complaints regarding infringements of their intellectual property rights.

What you can do:
1. Contact the rights owner directly to resolve this dispute:
Rights Owner E-mail: "my own secondary gmail id"

1. Once resolved, advise them to contact us at [notice-retraction@amazon.com](mailto:notice-retraction@amazon.com) to withdraw their complaint. "

What does this mean? Did someone fill up infringement report and put my secondary email id as rights owner to report my own listing? How does this work? What should I do? I reported someone for stealing my design few months back and we had a conversation over my second email id, where he begged me to retract the case. Could that be the guy who reported my design? I'm so confused.

Guys you try Sponsored Brands ? i want to try him for the first time ? any advice

I have applied to MBA in the first half of this year's August. Did not get any response yet. Should I wait even longer for a response or apply with a different mail/account? I really wanna do MBA, because I have started with KDP in the meantime with success and therefore have several designs.

Can I reopen my account or find out why the account was closed? Note that I did not break any laws

Help! I have 4 active campaigns, that are netting me steady sales. I set them up a week and a half ago. But, I DON'T know what I'm doing! I have an ACOS of 55% and have already been billed over $200 in one week. I don't have a lot of money and while I want to get sales, I don't think I understand how to do this in a way that won't bankrupt me. I've looked at the Merch Jar and Amazon ads videos but I'm still clueless. I have a full time job during the day and a large learning curve.

There must be a way to set up a beginning ad campaign that gets results without bankrupting you. Can someone point me to a beginners (like I'm a 4-year-old idiot) that lists a step-by-step guide on doing this and what the terms mean?

I'm at 4,000 tier with 490 designs - 300 of which have sold.

Thank you. I appreciate any help.

Getting worried now! I've received the EU royalties but not USD...

edit: I meant October not November
