the existing competition on Amazon for similar designs.

how good your descriptive data is (Title, Keywords, Bullet Points).

(No profile or header images, no social media links, no artist bios). There is no public ‘profile’ system on Merch by Amazon like you have on almost all other Print On Demand sites – so aside from a single line of text on each product (your brand link) – you can’t really use Merch By Amazon to build your profile or attracts fans or followers. When you upload designs to Merch by Amazon you are really just suppling designs to them, and nothing else.

Merch By Amazon has very limited branding and audience building options for artists. I’ve also found almost all other Print on Demand sites to be somewhat more consistent when it comes to removing infringing designs following Copyright takedown notices. Note: I should point out that the copycat / art theft issue is by no means exclusive to Merch By Amazon, although it is more pronounced here – because of the public BSR issue, the flexible royalty rate and the size of the Amazon marketplace. In reality this means that artists can spend a lot of time playing ‘whack-a-copycat’ searching for and reporting copyright infringement, just to see it pop up again a few days later.

You can report Copyright infringement to Amazon, but the results are hit and miss, and Amazon doesn’t do anything to stop copycats simply re-uploading the stolen design after their first copy was removed.
