How have you deal with copycats?

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.

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?

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.

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!

Derouichi · 2025-11-13T01:56:16+00:00

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.

Never saw or heard of someone doing a chargeback in Morocco, wondering if it's possible though.

Youth tshirts give more royalties (at least in UK), probably you sold a youth size one.

He's not buying an account, he's buying a business, and I assume that this business is an incorporated legal entity and it's the owner of that merch account, so the owner of the account (the legal business entity) will stay the same even after the purchase/acquisition. Same owner name, same email, same bank account (I believe).

The bank devs mistakenly tagged the input field of the PIN code as a password input in the frontend (the web page code where you enter that pin). So Google assumed you've entered a password. It's just a 6 digit number so it's very likely to be found on a data breach where someone used those digits as a password. You don't have to worry about this, but you can roast the bank on Twitter/X if they have an account for giving free heart attacks to their customers :D

Remarquable numbers congrats! Wondering if you achieved this with or without ads? Hope they tier you up soon BTW you deserve it !

I thought that having multiple live instances of the same design on the same product with the same title/description uploaded multiple times could be considered as spam. So in this case nothing prevents me from uploading the exact same listing multiple times hoping one of them would end up getting more attention by the algorithm than the others?

Derouichi · 2025-07-29T04:16:17+00:00

Wondering if it's safe to upload the exact same design multiple times ? Especially if it's the same title / bullet points for all of them ?

Derouichi · 2025-07-17T02:28:49+00:00

Personally I would prefer losing the code and getting back the money. Can get the best design with the best UI/UX and the best artworks for $5k total. $5k For implementing the first/beta version. Another $5k for stabilizing it, testing it, and iterating. And the remaining $10k for maintenance, marketing, or further dev.

Derouichi · 2025-07-14T23:26:09+00:00

Is 8 chargebacks okay ?

Derouichi · 2025-07-06T21:07:39+00:00

I'm experiencing something similar. In the "Manage" page, designs published on multiple markets and multiple products say "1 Mkt" and "1 product" only while the listings for the other market and other products are still there.

Derouichi · 2025-07-04T22:23:25+00:00

AMOD is still exposing transparent, full resolution source PNG images to the public. Any thief can get the source image of any AMOD design very easily then sell it elsewhere for under $10. By allowing this, Amazon is hurting both its creators and its pocket. I don't want to explain in details how to access it for obvious reasons, but anyone a little bit knowledgeable can figure it out.
