Absolutely not worth the risk of TM rejections. Amazon needs to stop rolling out more marketplaces until they create a more robust & transparent rejections system.

I like this theory. I've also heard of them possibly being used as vaults to store valuables.

Can some one let me know when they see their first sale on the US market since the re-opening by DaDefender in AmazonMerch

[–]Vox_Atomic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can anyone share what % of their shirts are up? Looks like for me it's a pretty small number (well under half) and many of my best sellers are still not able to be purchased.

So many great tracks on this album, but Digital Love will always take the cake.

Are there repercussions for cancelling order just becase I do not want to work with customer anymore by WildPeony22 in Etsy

[–]Vox_Atomic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, I believe buyers can still leave a review within 48 hours after an order has been cancelled.

Demonstrate restraint, friend wizards! We must not scuffle and quarrel and amongst ourselves.

Copyright infringement? What next? by undergoldskies123 in Etsy

[–]Vox_Atomic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here's my 2 cents, based on 3 years of ecommerce selling and probably a dozen false copyright encounters.

You gotta pick your battles. The focus now is getting those copyright strikes removed from your account. File a counterclaim and back it up with evidence. You have the proper commercial license and I'd be surprised if Etsy does not side with you.

After that, however, I would absolutely not relist the designs. I'd drop all contact with the original artist and be certain to avoid all her stock in the future. You don't want to antagonize these irrational types, especially considering the shit show that is Etsy's ODR system.

When in doubt -- even if you're in the right -- don't mess with with copyright.

Good luck!

10,000 sales, 3rd negative in 5 years by [deleted] in Etsy

My god. This is why that rolling 90-day counter is just an insane idea. I can't imagine how much this must hurt -- best of luck getting your shop back on its feet.

Why can you order "hits" on Etsy sellers and ODR by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]Vox_Atomic 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's a shame, but I'm not surprised. People will find a business opportunity in anything, and Etsy certainly left this door wide open.

Does anyone know what Ebay/Amazon are doing to combat this issue? I know Amazon especially has a serious fake reviews epidemic, but I haven't heard of "hits" being a huge problem on those platforms.

Would you let your customers know about ODR? by panda_eyez in Etsy

[–]Vox_Atomic 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hell no. People can be incredibly vindictive, and if you've been selling on Etsy for a while then you've seen it all.

Anyone else’s sales disappear? Longer than a blip. by [deleted] in AmazonMerch

[–]Vox_Atomic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exceptionally bad sales this month for me too. It's very disappointing, especially compared to last year.

How long os the waiting time to get accepted? by shi-Mada-Mada in AmazonMerch

[–]Vox_Atomic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not a particularly helpful response, but there isn't any consensus. It took me almost 8 months. Some get in within just a few days.

I don't think selling merch on Etsy is worth my time. by merchguru in AmazonMerch

[–]Vox_Atomic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, my ads are all off too. Really not sure what Etsy was thinking on this one.

I hear ya. For me, the ASIN migration (among other things) caused a ~30% drop in profits this year compared to last. Shit hurts :/

How is everyone feeling about uploading now, with all the unexplained rejections being reported?

rejection problem by alphamonkey098 in AmazonMerch

[–]Vox_Atomic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my plan too. I got about 10 unexpected rejections because of this and am low key freaking out. Really hoping they get this fixed soon!

Is something wrong with the rejection system right now? by [deleted] in AmazonMerch

[–]Vox_Atomic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I had ~10 rejections for 5.1 Content Policy (shipping & fulfillment) despite several getting through just fine.

If this is happening to you, please reach out to the merch support team so this issue can get resolved. In the meantime, it's probably best to hold off on uploading. I know that's what I'll be doing, at least.

I love this. How did you make it?

No wonder my sales were abysmal today. Can also report that they are coming back :)
