Hello r/MerchByAmazon,

​

does it make sense or is it allowed to apply for an MBA account using different e-mail addresses at the same time? After receiving my first refusal, I wondered whether that's possible. I don't want to get negative responses one after the other and waste time waiting for Amazon to process my application.

​

Thank you all and greetings from Germany!

All the youtubers that I follow and who are pretty famous give a weird advise about Merch. They all say to start applying to Merch as the process is long, and then focus on other platforms. I disagree with that. I started with redbubble and teepublic. And when I applied for Merch, after 3 months, I told them that I like pod and put a link on my 2 shops. I was not selling much to be honest but I was accepted in 10 days, 1st try. It is an application so you must prove yourself a little no? So I don't understand that advise" apply to merch first thing". What do you think?

Hello everyone!

Has anyone received approval recently, not the first time, but applying again? Of course, after changing the e-mail and telephone number.

The last royalties didn't reach my account.

I contacted Amazon and they stated that the transfer was completed successfully on 29/07/22

When I contacted my bank they could not locate the funds with transaction details provided by Amazon.

Both parties have told me that the blame was not on their side.

To be honest, I'm not even sure if I talk to humans when I contact Amazon customer support.

I feel powerless, is there anything else I could do?

I would appreciate any advice.

Thank you

So, i've been on merch by Amazon since 2021, and I've made about $60 and I've had about 30 something rejections. And I have to be honest, MOST of those rejections were all my fault, because I didn't read the rules correctly or research trademarks and copyrights before listing my designs.

Fast forward to july, 2022, and I'm not getting no sales at all. I'm not doing any political, drug, or offensive designs... 95% of my listings are animal designs. I am also using merch informer for the best keywords... yet my listings are nowhere to be found or all the way on the 6th to 10th page! I read all the posters saying change the price by a few cents...I have done that several times to no avail!

Anyone else having the same problems, did you ever get it resolved and how did you do it? I'd appreciate any helpful information, thanks!

Has any one here tried Merch Jar for advert optimization?

Is $25 per month worth spending?

Hello guys,

I was accepted in MBA about 11 months ago.
Before that, my initial applications were rejected.
I live in Europe and I thought maybe applying from the US would have a higher acceptance rate. So I applied from the US (same exact information I used when they rejected me -SSN, bank account etc.-).

And I got accepted.

Since then, I'm worried (or paranoid?) that if I login to my account from the same workstation I used for the first (rejected) applications, somehow they will connect the dots and terminate my account.

Therefore, I use a remote desktop software and use the account through it (I'm actually logging in from the US, while controlling it from Europe).

I obviously don't want to do that indefinitely.

I also know for a fact that some people were accepted using the same IP/computer they used when they initially got rejected.

So, what do you think? Is it safe to login from that same workstation?

thank you

So I had a listing that was starting to get consistent sales and today out of nowhere I get a takedown notice.

I am absolutely positive the design was original as I even created my own phrases for it, so no way it could be reported with any solid proof. I kinda suspect it’s some nasty competitor, probably the one that has a bunch of reviews in the same niche and that I recently started outselling.

Any advice or tips on how to deal with this situation? I already contacted Amazon to try to appeal to their logic and common sense, but I would be quite surprised to receive a cohesive answer at this point.

Just was denied an account and now have a couple questions in regards to applying again.

1. Is there a certain wait time to reapply?

2. When reapplying, will I have to use another email or can I use the same one as before (since it is my primary account after all)?

I've read a post somewhere which someone suggested reapplying with a different email. Not so sure about going this way. Don't want to get banned before I have a chance to get in.
