They Tried to Hide This from Amazon Merch T-Shirt Sellers...

About this video

(Summarized from the Arabic caption track.) The creator discusses Amazon Merch on Demand itself offering ‘Your Photo Here’ customizable shirts, which he first saw promoted in an Instagram ad sent by a friend. He walks through Amazon’s own listing: customers can make a custom T-shirt, V-neck, tank top, Bella Canvas shirt, long-sleeve shirt, or baseball raglan, pick men/women/youth and a color, upload their own photo — the listing says JPEG or PNG under 25 MB, with higher quality giving a better print and phone photos working well — resize it, and add text boxes with control over font, text color, alignment, and style. He tests it with an image of a boy in a sombrero and poncho doing a dab. The example custom shirt is priced at $14.99, and at his own checkout a discount brought it to $13.89 with no coupon; he notes the order shows ‘submit order for approval,’ meaning it still goes through review before printing. He says the listing’s BSR was 19,000 around its first sale the day before and had dropped below 10,000 within days, showing demand. His main argument is that this is not a real threat to sellers: most customers do not want the work of creating and uploading a design and risking a bad result, they prefer ready-made designs, other sellers already offer similar custom listings, and sellers have kept selling alongside them.

Key takeaways

• Amazon Merch on Demand is selling its own customizable ‘Your Photo Here’ shirts across several garment styles
• Customers upload a JPEG/PNG (under 25 MB per the listing), resize it, and add and format text in Amazon’s tool
• The demonstrated price was $14.99, discounted to $13.89 at checkout, with orders submitted for approval before printing
• The creator cites the listing’s BSR dropping from 19,000 to below 10,000 within days as evidence of demand for customization
• His view: most buyers prefer ready-made designs and will not do the design work, so sellers should not panic about competition
