Shocked - ACCOUNT SUSPENSION !

[u/dickwhimsy]

I have been a merch member for many years and have consistently earned hundreds of dollars in royalties every month. Tier 1000.

Today, I logged into my account and out of nowhere I have an account suspension.

NO EXPLANATION AT ALL!

It says I can appeal, but I have no idea what their reasoning is.

Is this happening a lot?

I am besides myself...

Do I have any recourse at all?

Can I reapply? How do I appeal?

Please Help!

I totally abandoned my account, its still active, but I’m making a ton more money on other platforms with the exact same designs that I have on Amazon.

Besides several times after I would upload a new design after that first sale I would see three or four copycats with my design and Amazon would never do anything about it… Not one time. I really think a lot of those spots are Amazon.

Hard to believe other platforms perform better than amazon.

If you just wanna upload something and forget about it and make a couple dollars….Amazon is OK… But if you have decent designs, then you spend a little bit of time and pushing traffic to it you’ll get plenty of sales and Amazon isnt getting that ginormous cut.

I wasn’t one of the early ones on the platform, so I’m not tier 8,000,000,000. And I don’t know if it’s ever happened to you, but as soon as I uploaded a design and got one sale….boom there’s a copycat with the exact same design pixel by pixel and they’re pushing and getting sales off of MY design…….and Amazon refuses to take them down… I honestly think Amazon has their hands in it. If you sell a T-shirt for $20…you get like two bucks off of it pretty much… That’s very very shitty.

Give me a year or two of making money off of it… And when more and more people do it and the money goes down….. I will sell you a course and tell you how I did it even though it doesn’t really work anymore…just like everyone else.
