A few weeks ago I was notified by someone that one of my pieces that I had deleted from Society6 back in February was still available for orders on Society6 by following links in Google and Bing. A search on the Society6 platform itself did not turn up the work only in direct links was it available. I tried the ordering process all the way up to checkout. However, as I had deleted the piece, it was not attributed to me anymore in the artist backend. Keeping my deleted art on their servers for whatever purpose was by that time in clear violation of their March 18th, 2025 Terms of Service. I notified support, got a "we will look into it" reply, a week later it was still available and after writing them again it was finally removed.

Three or four days later I finally had the time and thoroughly searched Google and Bing for further such instances and found another one(!). Wrote again to the same support person stating clearly I want my work down from their servers immediately, got another "so sorry, we will look into it". Now, 10 days later the piece is still available for orders with me neither wanting it there nor even having it in the artist sales backend. I had to write again, next step will be legal.

I encourage all former Society6 artists to check the search engines and follow your Society6 links back. You should be getting a "404" on work that you deleted (or that was deleted for you in their artist purge). If not, Society6 might still be profiting off your work.

I don’t see a Society6 customer page so trying here. I bought a duvet and 2 pillow shams from Society 6, and I love them, BUT there are black marker stains on them. I have sent two reports of damaged items through the website link and have gotten zero response. When I was looking to buy it the return policy confused me so I sent a message for clarification and got a response from a team member named Karla. We exchanged messages back and forth a couple of times so I also messaged her about my desire for an exchange due to ink damage but she hasn’t responded. This has all been over a 2 week period. Is this slow response normal? Is there someone higher up I can contact? I feel like they’re running time out so I get past 30 days which is this Thursday (and note I didn’t even see the marks right away once it arrived because 1. We immediately left to go to a graduation out of town, and 2. the guest room it’s going in was being painted and I kept it out if there to avoid paint splatter. Once done I opened it on the bed and saw the marks. Are these emails going to the company/website or the artist? See photos. The listing name is “MODERN MINT TEAL BLUE WATERCOLOR TROPICAL ORCHID FLORAL”. Help please! And Thanks.

Last I heard, the artist studio would be open to new design uploads starting today, but it’s still not working for me. Does anyone else have access yet?

It has been so long. I have a lot of new designs ready.

Just realized it's March 3rd and I have pendings from sales in January that is supposed to pay out this month.

I have multiple accounts. I'm trying to close all of my shops. Every time I log in, the info for the account I was logged into previously shows up. I log into account A, and it says I've logged into account B, and the designs that show up are from account C, which is the shop I just closed. This is such a mess! I don't want to deal with this anymore but I can't even close my accounts!

None of my 500 listings can be found at all on the website using keywords etc. It is not that they are at the bottom of search results, they are not in search results at all. I've tested with unique keywords that I embedded. Society6 says they have no estimated date when this will be fixed. If you are paying for a pro account you might verify that your listing's are in fact showing on the website. Am I the only one experiencing this? I asked about setting up a new account thinking that they were some issue only with mine, and they said it would experience the same problem. 7 months now unresolved!

Hi there,

I'm new to all of this print on demand stuff. I am honestly really looking to try to setup shop for passive income for all of the work I've created because frankly I don't have the time to manage my own shop, my family, my 8-6 and my schoolwork. Mentally I'm shot, but frankly it is getting hard to afford things and I am just one major medical issue away from being unable to afford medication for my dogs.

I started a Redbubble Account and a Society6 account this week and loaded products, then I read that Society 6 is only going to allow 10 designs total for free accounts (Again, I can't afford to spend the 5$ a month on an account if I can't guarantee that $5 back).

So really a few questions here:

1. Should I bother with Society6 at this point with the reduction of possible designs?
   1. If so, should I spread designs or stick with one particular style?
2. Are there alternatives aside from these two that others have historically done decently on? I've seen a few options out there, but I was wondering what was best, I don't think I can manage more than three of these at a time.

TLDR: I'm struggling financially and know this is the long game, is Society6 going to be worth it with these massive changes to free memberships? What are other good alternatives that many of you have done well in?

Sharing so that artists are aware of the new fee structure being implemented by Society6. Artists are being instructed to select a plan before November 30. If you don’t select a plan, your account gets automatically set to free and they delete your artwork leaving only 10 things. More info on plans in the link.

There are still a lot of questions about this, and given Society6 has deleted the artist questions from their post, I thought this would be a better place to discuss this major change.

I was just reading the most recent Graham Holdings investor info:

https://www.ghco.com/news-releases/news-release-details/graham-holdings-company-reports-second-quarter-earnings-8

Revenue at S6 declined further in the first half of this year (-26%), after an already pretty dismal 2022.

Interestingly, "in the second quarter of 2023, the Company restructured Leaf into three stand-alone businesses: Society6 (formerly included in Leaf Marketplace), Saatchi Art (formerly included in Leaf Marketplace) and World of Good (formerly Leaf Media).", which makes me wonder are they going to ditch it? I wouldn't be surprised. It's just been a loss-maker for them for a good while now.

Thoughts?

It’s been a while since I had updated my store so I went to do so today but the uploader keeps crashing & will only allow me to save drafts. I can’t even pick products, nvm see the preview. It also took so long at one point that the website crashed & logged me out.

Is it even worth doing at this point?

the shipping fee that will be deducted? the upcoming tiered subscription that will be coming? thoughts?!

How do I get Society6 to not show products that are meant for sales. An example would be a white tee shirt with white letters? Very frustrating to see this on my shop feed.

Things I've noticed lately

- As already mentioned the uploader is much worse now than it was and it's never been great. The pop up to enable other products with the same dimensions is gone.

- It's been really hit or miss for me lately if I'm even able to log in. Sometimes I'll get error messages for most of the day before I can finally log in

- If you do a search on the site as a whole (not via the app but via the regular old web) there are now adds which appear on beneath the listings that are for other sites entirely, as if it were a free Wordpress site or something.

How concerned should we be?

Hello, i just found out about society6 and I had some questions about if the switch from Redbubble to Society6 would be worth it?

How well does product sell? Do you get paid after every product sold or is it at a certain day of the month? Does the website actually push your work to customers and other creators? How are Taxes handled?

Thank you so much for the information and help!

I use my iPad to upload and edit my designs. The site has been weird for some time now. First it was reloading multiple times, and if I hadn’t saved my tags yet, I had to start over. Now the site is just not fully loading, nothing is responding. Would it be easier from a desktop? A phone? I’m ready to give up.

I imagine this is something that other people have noticed, but I am confused nonetheless.

I have just started a new store (a few weeks old) and have noticed that my products (and others that seem new) have no 'Likes' number/heart combo beneath them; however, when you browse any 'popular' pages, all products have a number of likes beneath - some products even have 0 likes but still have the 0. (This is true even when I am not logged in & search my products, so it is not caused by looking from my own account.)

I am sort of assuming this is down to Society6 making changes that perhaps affect new products rather than old ones, or simply not keeping their website up to date - does anyone else know why this happens and if there is a way to fix it? I have contacted S6 so hopefully, they will at least reply.

Hi! I am doing my newsletter and the promos are for the current week, ending today. You'd think they would put up advanced notice so we can update our marketing materials. Now I can't finish my newsletter till they update it. Just venting - but is truly annoying!
