How To Get Accepted By Merch By Amazon Faster - (Get Accepted Fast 2022)

About this video

Note: summarized from the Arabic caption track. RJ Martinez explains how to get accepted into Merch by Amazon, which requires an invitation/application unlike other print-on-demand providers. He introduces himself with the claim that he has sold over 150,000 products and recently moved up to the 100,000 tier, skipping levels from 50,000. His central advice is to fill in every field of the application and leave nothing blank, and to think throughout about why Amazon should choose you over someone else — whether you are an artist, have an online business or website, or have a large audience that could bring external traffic to Amazon, which he frames as a win-win for the platform. He tells viewers to read the FAQ, terms of service, and policies before starting, to be original rather than copying others’ designs, and never to sell designs using properties they do not own. He says having an existing Amazon FBA Seller Central account appears, anecdotally from commenters, to speed approval, though his own approval took about three months despite having one. He lists required information such as full contact details, bank account and routing numbers, and a Social Security number for US applicants or a tax ID via Payoneer for others, advises linking proof of design work on other platforms if available, and warns that buying a Merch account violates Amazon’s terms of service.

Key takeaways

• Fill in every field of the Merch by Amazon application and leave nothing blank — he repeats this as the most important practical step.
• Frame the application around why Amazon should pick you: artistic skill, an existing business or website, or an audience that brings external traffic.
• Read the platform’s FAQ, terms of service, and trademark/copyright policies before applying, and only sell original designs you have rights to.
• An existing Amazon FBA Seller Central account may speed approval according to commenters he cites, but his own approval still took about three months.
• Never buy a Merch by Amazon account — he says doing so violates Amazon’s terms of service.
