what's up guys so there's been some
interesting chatter in my merch by
amazon facebook group about people
getting teared
down also people have been getting
teared up and skipping tears which is
something that
prior to this past couple days i had
never heard of happening and i honestly
didn't think was possible so
we're gonna talk all about that in this
video a lot of this information actually
pretty much all of it is crowdsourced i
don't know how else i would do it so
please if you're not in that merch by
amazon facebook group that i mentioned
use the link in the description to join
it alright let's get started

shout out to the sponsors also like i
mentioned the merch by amazon facebook
group you can find
linked in the description as well all
right so i'm just going to show you a
couple posts from the amazon merch
facebook group
and kind of get a vibe for what's been
going on recently and again nothing is
set in stone unless
unless somebody watching this actually
works for the merch by amazon team in
which case you can just shoot me an
email i'd love to have you on for a
video
but we're going to crowdsource some
information from the merch by amazon
facebook group
the first post i wanted to show says oh
my god tiered up from tier 10 to tier
100
but i only sold three shirts in one year
so that's pretty good news that's also a
record
i know that uh marielle's account had
four sales on it
and it went from tier 10 to tier 25 with
four sales
now three shirts and getting to tier 100
that's pretty darn good
now by the end of this we'll try to
figure out if this is a fluke or not
uh also there's a really good piece of
advice from somebody at the very end as
well for people in this
scenario next post does anyone
uh tear up from 25 to 100 or
25 skip to 500 so again kind of
trying to figure out if people are
skipping tears now like maybe the whole
tear up system changed and you can skip
and the person at the bottom there says
tier 10 to tier 100
with zero sold so actually just like
that we went from beating the record
from
three sales to tier 100 to zero sales to
tier 100 so this is officially the
record i don't know if it can be broken
um by the way anybody watching this
that's also want to contribute
to us figuring out what happened please
feel free to use the youtube comments on
this video as well and we can all kind
of collaborate and try to figure out
what the heck just happened and if it's
a mistake or not which it's kind of got
that vibe doesn't it
um another post guys finally after the
wait
tier 10 to tier 100 and he posted the a
video of the
pretty merch countdown thing or count up
where
it took him from tier uh well i guess 10
to tier 100
another one i was tiered up from 10 to
100
with 20 sales so again skip tier 25 now
i can upload three designs per day time
for a celebration before i get busy with
new designs so congratulations
go celebrate and unfortunately not
everybody
had positive news to share there were a
couple tear downs
which isn't that crazy a tear down i'm
hoping these are mistakes so this person
said
tear down today from 500 to 100. i don't
understand what will happen with all the
uploaded designs i have 250
do they select which sell or what don't
um it's strange because it doesn't solve
some aspects does anyone
know of an official answer so yeah i
mean i'm as clueless as you are i would
only be guessing
if anybody did reach out and receive the
response definitely if you want to again
post in the comments on this video
and post in the merch by amazon facebook
group that would also be very useful i
know everybody would appreciate that
and one last one actually there's one
more after this but this is another tier
down it says hi guys i don't understand
what just happened
my tier went down from tier 500 to tier
100
is that possible so yeah it's i mean i
can only imagine uh i'm very fortunate i
guess tier 200 000
did not tear me down to anything under
that so
i guess maybe i'm lucky knock on wood um
teardowns that doesn't sound fun
and this person's post i really wanted
to share i think it made a lot of sense
a lot of people interacted with it as
well indicating that they kind of agree
so he said so in today's tier change
many people ended up with tier 100
i checked other group posts and have
learned that this happened to some
people who are eligible
to tear up at tier 10 and tier 500
but both ended up with tier 100 he
believes this is a bug and will be fixed
i don't want to make
anyone sad but people who got teared up
from tier 10 to tier 100
you may go back to tier 25 again who
knows so
that's actually a good point that uh it
seems like
the tier 500 people that were supposed
to get moved up to a thousand got moved
back to tier 25
as a potential explanation and by the
way anybody that's
watching this video that is like man how
does this happen guys i only worked
uh nine to five professionally as a web
developer for eight years eight years is
a lot of time to
some people and not a long time a lot of
time to people who haven't joined the
workforce yet
trust me as a web developer this is
definitely possible i can you know
this happens this sort of stuff happens
all the time uh typically somebody that
is responsible for testing should
probably catch this in a development
environment but maybe they try to skip
testing
and um who knows you know like i always
say for the last like year and a half
just blame covid
you can wipe your hands clean of
anything just blame kovid and nobody
asks any questions so we're gonna go
ahead and blame kovid for the bug
and we'll move on uh that was meant to
be a joke all right tier 500 guys no
worries you'll
sure get to tier 1000 by the next couple
of days or by today
um so this guy's just giving some
suggestions he says you know maybe
contact support
typically you don't need contact support
if you think somebody else did um
they've probably already heard about it
and they'll fix this at scale they're
not gonna skip over you because you
didn't contact them
uh and then this last thing he said so
for any lucky person
who skipped tier 25 make sure to upload
as many designs as possible and use
those slots
in case they do roll you back to tier 25
so if you went from like tier 10 to tier
100
upload as many as possible each day in
case you lose the ability to upload the
extra
slots at some point if they fix this
okay so guys let me know your thoughts
