hey what's up guys in today's video I've
got two stories to share with you the
first is of someone I know that had
their Amazon merch account terminated
recently and unfortunately as you can
probably guess they didn't get much of a
they didn't get much of a description as
to why it happened
in the email they received letting them
know that they had been terminated from
Amazon merch as you guys know that have
sold through Amazon merch they tend not
to give you descriptive reasoning for
hardly anything it just feels like
they're kind of generic emails that go
out it might be for rejection might be
for a termination anyways Unfortunately
they lost their account I'll let you
know what happened and I've got a second
story this is of somebody else I know
who lost their account months ago
and I don't know how the heck they did
it I mean I do know how they did it I'm
gonna let you know how they did it but I
can't believe they actually got it back
I would have never guessed it would have
worked so I'm gonna share both those
stories with you let's get right to it
real quick guys make sure you take
advantage of my free Amazon merch 7 Day
mini course the link is in the
description I'll send you one lesson a
day over seven days to help you get
started and increase your sales also
I've got a great Amazon merch Facebook
group if you want to join check out the
link in the description
all right so the topic today is not a
fun one it is getting terminated from
Amazon merch on demand uh unfortunately
it has happened to quite a few people
you know over time it's like sometimes
we get tempted maybe you know when you
get that first experience of big success
on Amazon merch
it's it's addictive right it's addictive
and you think oh man like you know who
wants to sell Evergreens that might only
sell once every three months or once
every six months or even once a year who
wants to sell Evergreens when if I chase
the big trends or if I cut this corner
you know I like to say fly a little too
close to the Sun man maybe I can make
like repeated sales every day right and
oftentimes that's how you get in trouble
remember this is to me a very long-term
business model and it does kind of scale
up with time you know if you just play
by the rules and you can be you know
aggressive and put in a lot of time or
you can be kind of like me very passive
still just uploading Evergreens
consistently and see where it takes you
but yeah you just definitely want to
remember it's a long-term business model
it's also a 365 Day sales cycle and as
we head into the fourth quarter you're
gonna see what I mean by that anybody
who just got in this year who's had slow
sales maybe in the first nine months
well you know fasten your seatbelt
October November December those sales
are going to pick up big time
so this is what happened uh to my friend
who lost their account they have a
theory about which shirt it might have
been their best seller actually they
sent me a link to
um actually you know they didn't they
said hey find this shirt and let me know
what happened and so I found it and from
pretty much Pro Plus you can see it says
not viable uh it goes to the dogs page
when you click the link it goes to the
dogs of Amazon anybody who's ever seen
this page on Amazon that means that that
product detail page has been removed
from the catalog for one reason or
another they don't typically tell us
especially if it's not you know our
product if we're selling through Seller
Central they'll probably give us more of
a detailed description if it's Amazon
merch they just you know they don't
really care so in this case it wasn't
that the listing was removed it was that
his entire account was deleted
and he told me he I mean he showed me
the listing
if that was the reason because he didn't
get a specific reason but if that was
the reason
uh it was in the anime Niche and while
it was not ripping off any specific
anime
you could look at it and say oh you got
in trouble well I know how they
interpreted this design and it looks
like
um you know a character from Dragon Ball
Z is what I think it would have like if
this is I'm on the outside looking in
right I don't have all the details I
only have what he shared uh and that is
theoretically what most likely had led
to this termination is that that
character even though was not a ripoff
of Dragon Ball Z the hair kind of had
that hairstyle you know what I'm talking
about with the hair that's spiked up and
it's yellow uh so yeah that that might
have been it
um that being said you know there's
still hope right because I have the
other
story to share with you the Redemption
story all right and this is uh someone
else that I know who lost their account
I don't even know when I mean I could
look if you cared but it's not that
relevant it was months ago like it was
at least three months ago
and they were real upset
um they messaged me you know I do take
message I gotta stop though I got too
many people I mean no I love hearing
from the community and whatnot
um the direct messages it's like it's
good because it lets me tell these
stories it's bad when I'm too busy and
I'm still answering them because I need
to be working on other stuff anyways uh
they got their account back like I
hadn't heard from this person in months
basically since they were like super
down that they lost their merch account
which I think we all would be
they were like yo Ryan I got my account
back I said what
are you kidding they're like no no I did
I'm like how did you do that like that's
I would have never guessed that that was
possible
this is what they did guys all right
this is why you pay me the big bucks AKA
you don't pay me nothing because it's
YouTube it's free so maybe at least hit
that like button for the algorithm
that'd be great and subscribe if you're
not already they emailed Jeff amazon.com
all right uh Jeff Bezos no longer works
at Amazon and I think it's been a very
very very long time since he actually
monitored this inbox but this has been
kind of a a well-known hack if you will
about Amazon that you could email this
account and it's typically I think
Amazon sellers that email this account
and make requests related to selling on
Amazon I think it's probably often a
pretty similar story that they uh
receive emails for and that's probably
account terminations whether it's Seller
Central Amazon merch Amazon KDP Amazon
ignite Amazon Amazon Affiliates right uh
what else am I thinking about what else
am I missing
that being said yes so Jeff amazon.com
he said he shot them not one email not
two not three not four
but eight emails eight emails that is
persistence and persistence was rewarded
in this case I don't have an exact
template of what was said but I do know
that they said eight emails so I'm
passing that along to you guys Jeff
amazon.com
it worked it got their account back
um
yeah so I I mean I wouldn't even think
that people at this email address would
be familiar with the Amazon merch on
demand program but I guess at this point
it's probably grown to the extent where
maybe more Amazon employees or
Associates as they're called I'd learned
that when I um toured an Amazon FBA
Warehouse a couple years back
so but I guess they are familiar with
Amazon merch on demand and they're able
to reinstate accounts and uh yeah my
buddy's account was reinstated so good
for him and anybody who is hoping that
they can get their account back that
maybe lost theirs which hopefully isn't
