You're lucky oua have an account there, they are bullshiting now by mass refusing / accepting lol.

AmazonByMerch is one of the best money making machine man, it(s totally automated, just makde your logo, writing,... set & forget. Just try to make more designs & you're good to go.
You can't says to the biggest market out there its finished or not profitable anymore (take that for granted).
GLWS.

PS: your 2 sales for a 2 weeks work made me thrilled to try & Re-apply again (was rejected once & never tried again, too lazy).

It's all about a number of the designs you have uploaded. If you have more designs then probably you will make more sales.

Not really saying it's not profitable anymore but the hard work you put into it may nor pays off at the end since the market is a bit saturated and MBA keep lowering the profit per shirt .

I like everything that is Set & Forget man & ABM is one of them.
I'll try my chances there once accepted. Couple of my friends are making goo monthly profit using it, so, it won't hurt to try it.
 
I have an account. Tier 500, means I can upload 500 designs on the german, american and british marketplace.

The problem with Merch by Amazon is they are super strict. One small mistake regarding copyright and they will remove your design and after a few times they will ban your account. Another big problem is the competition. They are using tools like Merchinformer to check out successful shirts, then they will simply copy your design and price is a few dollars less than your original.

btw. set and forget is not true also, because they will automatically remove designs, when they haven't sold for a specific time.

Therefore its absolutely not worth it. There are so many people pricing their shirts $12 and they make themselves a few cents, just to get out of Tier 10 and Tier 50 etc., but while doing this they are stealing your designs and destroy your rankings. ONLY AMAZON is having profit from this.

I totally agree with what you said ,spending hours for research and money for a good design just to get it stolen and copied dozens of times it's totally not worth it .

Thank you all for your input.
 
Merch by amazon is one of my hustles. I started right before christmas 2017. I had a pretty successful start but it has gotten really bad lately. I have had 5-6 designs in the top100 shirts which were making a killing and a few days later, there are 40 copycats who copy my design pixel by pixel. When I send an infringement report to Amazon, it takes them over a week to even respond and 9/10 times, they refuse my infringement because I don't have an official brand and haven't trademarked my logo. Let's be real, I was just pumping out a bunch of shirts, who can trademark every shitty design you make.

During father's day, I made a great design that was selling 20+ per day, I was super excited. I looked up my keywords on Amazon and noticed that my shirt was on there 17 times and I was ranked 12th. The copycats were selling my shirt at 13.00$ and were selling over a hundred per day... I sent the letter to Amazon, 2 weeks later they refused it as per usual.

Merchinformer makes it that everyone has the same designs up and anyone who comes up with a brilliant design can only profit for 1-2 days until their design is flooded by copycats.

Money can be made but it's frustrating as fuck. I would much rather be better with facebook ads and have my own website.

Thats exactly how it is. After some time its just super tiring and annoying. There will always be people selling the same shirt for the minimum price, basically giving your hard work away for free. People won't even copy designs/shirts and sell on Amazon, they will also sell on other platforms or their own shop. Its really frustrating.
 
it a good proggram if you can get on it.

can you show me where you seen it not working .

or are you just asking as your to lazy to research your self.

even asking can cause failure , didnt do much research in a business your intrested in did you .

amazon relies on self employment info or business info as it part of there acceptance .

paying tax and proof heavy on there affiliate plans

Man if you bothered to read what i wrote you wouldn't ask such questions, I got accepted already and made 2 sales so far and i was wondering if it's worth the time and effort to continue uploading designs ,and to answer your question i already did some research about the topic checked some YouTube videos and read some topics posted in r/AmazonMerch but that wasn't enough fo me to decide whatever i should work on that as my main project so i thought to ask here since there are lot of members who already doing this.But now i came to the conclusion that's MBA is not worth doing it as a main project for me so i will just dedicate my time to other things.
 
This thread reads out terribly. You only have pursued something for a week, actually made two sales, and think it’s not worth it?

Either your expectations are too high or you’re not paying attention. Put 3 months in as a real test and see what it gets you.
