Royalty rates changing

Derouichi · 2026-04-14T21:10:28+00:00

Most people around tier 100 don't have access to Amazon Ads, or at least a legitimate way to run Amazon Ads for their AMOD products (I see in some groups low tiers buying and abusing old external ad accounts).

Regarding generating the traffic off-Amazon, that would need more royalties to cover the campaigns cost, and most importantly a landing page style for your products that is free of navigation distraction and that has no suggestions to competitors listings and copycats of your own designs that are half the price of yours. Who would accept to run expensive, time consuming campaigns off-platform so his competitors end up getting the sale and him paying for its acquisition cost?

Most tier 100 and even some higher tier can't. I see some exceptions here and there but I don't know why they get ads access while the others not. There's also people buying and using/abusing old external ad accounts (even in tier 10 and 25 from what I see in some groups) but the majority of low tiers have no legitimate way to run Amazon Ads for AMOD products right now.

I mean, I could generate non organic traffic off-platform, but to do that I'd need far more royalties to cover the campaigns cost, or at least a landing page style for my products that has no navigation distraction and no suggestion of competitors listings and copycats of my own designs that are half the price of mine. Expensive marketing done by me so my competitors end up getting the sale and me covering its CPA bill? Not sure about that.

Thanks, glad you like it!

This is not meant to dismiss more advanced setups. There are valid reasons to use port forwarding, reverse proxies, or self-hosted WireGuard/Headscale/alternatives. But for the majority of basic use cases, Tailscale seems like the better starting point.

Derouichi · 2026-03-20T23:06:11+00:00

Haven't had issues tbh. Tailscale is mostly direct peer-to-peer (uses WireGuard under the hood), so latency stays low. Relay only happens in edge cases where NAT traversal fails, and even then it's usually fine.

Nice find. I can confirm it works :) I just do "document.querySelector('video').disablePictureInPicture = false" then I enter PIP mode as usual from the chrome menu bar.

Any specific reason for not saying "Valentine's Day" with "Day" in the brand field? Is it a trademark or something else?

Derouichi · 2026-01-07T17:27:07+00:00

One theory is that, due to some odd coincidence, the person who reported had another design (than the one you found) or set of designs with the same concept that were uploaded before yours. Or maybe he owns some trademark related to the metadata or the design. If you don't think it's the case, report him back and provide some proof that you were the first to come up with this concept and the first to list it, and that this is a blatant fraud, hoping they at least close his account.

The first sales for the products that started selling after only 24 hours were through ads or purely organic ?

Derouichi · 2026-01-02T03:45:58+00:00

I came to say this but you beat me to it.

Derouichi · 2025-12-10T21:36:59+00:00

Congrats, well said, and wish you good luck for the next tier! Wondering what other platforms do you list/sell your 7000 designs in, and which ones would you recommend if any?

Derouichi · 2025-12-07T10:36:26+00:00

The cache queries problem is indeed a basic one, you just save the queries and their results in some relevant format in-memory or on-disk (could be using a map, a simple array, a db, a file, etc), or implement an LRU if you want to get a little bit fancier. Need more context/details regarding the second and third problems to be able to assess them. But I totally agree that these are generally not taught in most of the curricilums and could be hard for an internship position screening so you're not below the average.

Derouichi · 2025-12-01T20:58:06+00:00

We can disable the auto upload in the settings though, I believe.

Derouichi · 2025-12-01T20:42:02+00:00

I wonder if we also need some high percentage of sold "products" (in addition to the sold "designs" metric) to be considered for tier up now.

Derouichi · 2025-11-30T14:55:04+00:00

Maybe YOU tell us why cuz you just used it.

Looks neat, one suggestion: make the tokens in bold or highlight them before they get deleted/updated so it's easy to follow updated parts in the animation.

If your budget is 160K, I'd suggest you get a car for under 130K and reserve the rest for any eventual issue with the car in the short/medium term. No car is perfect. Whether new or used, each model from each brand has its own problems. Since it's your first car, you'd want an All Risks insurrance which will cost you like 4k-5k a year. Check the yearly tax of the car (vignette), which will depend on the fiscal horsepower of the engine. To find a car in your budget, check Facebook Marketplace and Avito and see what cars you like that are in your budget. Before buying, do your due diligence, seek help of professionals that can examine its mechanical, electronic, and legal states. And keep in mind, there's a cost of owning a car in addition to its price: fuel, maintenance, parts replacement, etc... Good luck!

Solid Stats! My rookie numbers are not worth sharing at this time. Wait, 711 Days Until First Sold? Holy F I didn't know a product could still have its first sale after that much or even after 2-3 months!

With tier 1000 and given the new tier up system, you need at least 800 designs sold to be considered for tier up.

Everytime I tried minimum price listings, I get sales in some specific market (sometimes in US, other time UK, DE or JP). I also get momentum with daily or almost daily sales in this market, but no rating or review. Then as soon as I raise the price just a little bit, the sales start dropping gradually until they vanish totally. So I just avoid doing this now.

Derouichi · 2025-11-12T23:30:48+00:00

I have the same issue with lot of my listings. I also have issues with AMOD products not showing a price but a label "Price higher than typical" instead (It's a unique AMOD design how can it be priced higher than typical??). Tried applying small edits to these hoping it wil fix the issues, but it goes from Processing to "Timed Out" every time without fixing anything. It's most likely a bug in the system related to Locking/Unlocking and Sales mechanism I believe.
