Redbubble Suspended Account (Redbubble Deleted Your Account)

About this video

RJ Martinez discusses waves of Redbubble account suspensions, drawing on his own past Etsy suspension. He says Etsy never told him why despite contacting them and getting automated responses, and notes speculation that Redbubble cases may be a glitch or may involve trademark-infringing designs, copying other designs pixel for pixel, or spamming tags to cheat the system. His core advice is to learn a platform’s policies before selling, treat print on demand as a long-term play rather than trying to make a quick 200, 300, 400 bucks breaking rules, and not dwell on a suspension. A suspension, he argues, creates an opportunity: the skills learned on one platform transfer to another, and sellers should diversify into multiple streams of income instead of relying on one account. Amazon sellers he knows have also been suspended without knowing why, sometimes got accounts back, and otherwise figured out another platform. He lists six alternatives to start on: KDP, Society6, Spreadshirt, TeePublic, Etsy, and Merch by Amazon, noting Merch by Amazon is invitation only.

Key takeaways

• Possible suspension triggers the creator discusses: trademark infringement, copying designs pixel for pixel, and spamming tags — so read the platform policy before listing
• Platforms may never explain a suspension: the creator says Etsy gave only automated responses and never told him why his account was suspended
• Do not build on rule-breaking for quick money; the creator frames following the rules as the long-term play that can produce consistent monthly income
• Diversify across platforms so one suspension does not end the business — skills from Redbubble transfer to other print-on-demand platforms
• Six alternative platforms named: KDP, Society6, Spreadshirt, TeePublic, Etsy, and Merch by Amazon (invitation only)
