I have given up trying to get signed up on Amazon Merch on Demand. When you get denied you have to create a new phone number and email address every time you get denied. That is bananas especially since they do not tell you why you were denied.
Yeah, I don't know what the denial reasons can be. I just filled out everything as carefully as possible since I knew it could be difficult to get in, added one of my other POD shops as proof that I can makes designs and sales etc.
I’m just starting to look into Merch On Demand and I am wondering 1) What happens with returns? 2) Do you get penalized? 3) Once you’re accepted is there any risk of getting kicked out if you don’t make enough sales? 4) Is there an upload fee like Etsy? Hopefully I can find all the answers in one shot but it’s hard to find in the big sea of UA-cam. Thanks for this informative video.🙏
1) It gets deducted from your earnings. (It's usually not a problem, but while researching for this video I found out there is a hypothetical scenario where you could owe money to Amazon, if Amazon already paid you for the sale before it got returned and you never make sales again after the return. But there is at least a 30 day delay in getting paid anyway after the product has shipped, so it's unlikely to happen.) What I meant in the video, when I said I don't know how cancellations and returns affect tiering up, is I don't know if they count towards the number of sales needed to move on to the next tier or not. 2) For customer returns? No. I've understood that the reason for the higher return rate on Amazon is people buying a shirt to wear on one occasion and then returning it the next day, so they don't need to pay for it. Some people might also buy the same shirt in two sizes to test the sizing and then return the other one. 3) Not that I know of. 4) No upload fee.
I'll see later if I can find the tips I used for the application, but from what I remember I just filled out everything as carefully as possible, added one of my other POD shops as proof etc.
@@IvyLilyCreative I see, thanks for the replay. For me I only choose Standard tshirt and wait to see if its live and safe, then I will go a head and activate other products. Lots of work but way safer. Good luck

Great video, I have an account and have yet to make a sale... It's much harder than you would think !!
Thanks so much for your video, it was very informative! I had no idea how Amazon Merch worked :)
Congrats on your current tier. How long does it take from the start to the 1000 tier?
Thanks! I'll check later if I can make a timeline about how long it took me to get to each tier.
I included the timeline in my new Amazon Merch video: How Long It Took Me to Tier up on Merch by Amazon ua-cam.com/video/LsK8aO0MU1Y/v-deo.html
What is the POD shop did you add to letter to proof for Merch by Amazon? Is it Redbubble shop?
It's been so long that I don't remember anymore, but yeah, probably Redbubble.
Well that was both pleasant and informative.
How great ! Thanks for sharing ❤

@@IvyLilyCreative thanks so much for taking the time to answer. Very informative!🙏
I got rejected four times by Amazon merch on demand …..any tips on how to get accepted by Amazon?
I'll see later if I can find the tips I used for the application, but from what I remember I just filled out everything as carefully as possible, added one of my other POD shops as proof etc.
@@IvyLilyCreative Appreciate it!
How you get out of tier 10
Subbed👍🏿💯
How did you get 500 rejections and your account is still safe ?
If one design gets rejected, that's 66 rejections, if it's rejected in all languages, so it's not 500 designs getting rejected.

Yeah, that sounds like a better tactic. 👍
@@IvyLilyCreative Yup
Great video Katri! I've just sent you an email regarding a partnership proposal, would love to hear back from you.
