How to Get Accepted to Amazon Merch On Demand

[@GregGottfried]

I hope this video helps you get accepted! Here’s the link to the Full POD Tutorial mentioned: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5m5YmRvbtyBZs0

@GregGottfried does Amazon Merch sends a micro deposit to your bank account to verify?

Submitted the application. Amazon says review time is approximately 14 days. I hope will be sooner. I'll keep updated. Thanks for this video, it help me to take action.

As a tax professional: Some advice- If you are an LLC, sign up as an Individual- you are a sole proprietor. 2nd, If you are outside the US find out how to file your income but as far as the US in concerned you are suppose to file a tax return for the US also, there are credits that you can take if qualified to help reduce any money you might owe. 3rd- He says royalties, if you are paid on a 1099MISC under the royalty box then you want to file on a Schedule E so you can also take any expenses that you might have incurred ie. fees from Amazon. If you put this under "other Income" you cannot take the expenses, it's not totally wrong to put here but you cannot take expenses on this section. If they pay you on a 1099-k then this is considered self employment income and it needs to go on a Schedule C. (not sure which one they actually send you).Ultimately, you need to consult a tax professional or do your research to make sure if you need to file a tax return and where to put it. Hope that helps clarify some! Good Luck everyone!

[@merijackson6448]

For tax purposes, is it better to open an account as an individual or LLC? Do I get more write-offs either way?

[@Dahlface77]

@@merijackson6448for this purpose they mean the same thing. An LLC can be an Individual/partnership/SCorp. The LLC part is just you registering for the state that you live in. If you are worried about getting sued then do the LLC But it is not needed. The only difference in expenses is the setup to do it. Everything else is the same

[@maratbaspak4517]

As a non-US citizen, do I have to file a tax return to IRS on my Amazon royalties? Or do I have to file a tax return to my country's tax authorities? Amazon has submitted 1042S form to IRS which has all information about my gross royalties and taxes withheld.

[@debralegere9076]

This person is hardly an ambulance chaser. This is very sound advice. While Greg Gottfried has provided some amazing information, no one should be paying tax on their gross income. Any expenses incurred legitimately need to be subtracted from gross income.

I would appreciate it if you could give me information in case of a return.

With Greg's passive POD format, the POD provider handles all the customer service -- including returns!!! That being said, RedBubble & TeePublic [& I think Amazon also] allow the customer to choose the quality of the product ["premium" t-shirts cost more, of course].

[@beansterp]

I’ve seen a video of someone sharing his horrible story about having a second account a while back, but I still wonder if it is even possible to do. Thanks!

[@GregGottfried]

Thanks! Hope you've been well. Still traveling overseas? Great question. This is something I've too heard horror stories about (having multiple active Merch on Demand accounts). They state in their terms that you cannot have multiple active Merch on Demand accounts, and I believe they do actually enforce this. If you had multiple on accident, I'd just keep one dormant and use the other as your active one 👍

Thanks Greg. That video was a big help. Question: and maybe experienced sellers in the comments might know, as well. Personally, I love a particular type of fabric blend when I buy a t-shirt. Is there any option for picking a specific blend for these t-shirts (for ex: 70% cotton 30% Polyester), or does Amazon just put them on average or cheaper type blends? THANKS!

[@GregGottfried]

Thanks for the comment, glad it was helpful. Great question. I'm the same way when buying shirts so I know what you mean. Amazon uses Port & Company shirts for their Standard t-shirts. They are definitely not a premium shirt, but for print on demand they are mostly bought as gifts so they serve their purpose. They also have a Premium t-shirt you can choose. I can't recall confidently but I believe these are Bella+Canvas shirts. They are much more comfortable, but it will all come down to personal preference. Again, these shirts are mostly being purchased as gifts, so they are not meant to be super-premium shirts. If you do want something super-premium, I'd recommend using Printful. They have a massive catalog of every big brand shirt.

TRying to re apply I have the following message : Thank you for requesting an Amazon Merch on Demand account. We appreciate your interest, but your account request has been declined. We thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself to us and encourage you to check out selling options on Amazon. I can't even use another mail adress ...

I got the same message. Do we have to creat an entirely new account with Amazon? I don't want several different prime accounts. and Ideas?

[@Smootion]

thank you so much i have watched so many videos but you explain the solution to the problem to the point. Thanks a lot

[@jonnystrong3746]

Hi Greg, i am in the UK and have an Amazon seller account. Im soon planning to switch my business type from Partnership to Ltd Company on Amazon. Should i wait til this is done or just apply to POD as an individual and use my own bank account rather than my business account? Great videos thanks!

[@GregGottfried]

Hey Jonny I think this was the comment you referred to just recently. You're able to change your company information anytime once you're accepted into Merch On Demand, so I wouldn't sweat it. I haven't heard about any advantages to applying with a business compared to as an individual, but in theory I'd imagine applying as a company would only increase your odds. As a backup though, you can always re-apply so if it doesn't work one way, I'd try the other 👍

[@misan62]

Thank you so much for the update on this topic Greg! Very helpful indeed :-)

[@GregGottfried]

No worries! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍

[@kendu75]

Do you have a video on the quality of the material used? Cotton vs cotton blend, fading, beading etc?

[@GregGottfried]

Great question. I haven’t made one but I believe there’s a good one made by Shimmy Morris comparing different POD websites shirt/print quality 👍

[@funcle_kevin]

I've been denied but I'm concerned about signing up with a different email address since all of the other information is still there (ie - SSN). Would this not lead to being booted from Amazon altogether?

[@Bekind95]

Good question!

[@lionoftheleo9392]

No it wouldn't I've tried. And I think it's because you use the same name with the same home address.

[@GregGottfried]

No worries! You truly can just change the email address. I've spoken to a whole bunch of people who have done exactly this and gotten in on a later attempt with a different email address.

[@funcle_kevin]

@@GregGottfried Right on! I'll be giving it another shot after I get some designs uploaded to the other sites. I probably should have done that the first time but didn't realize how competitive it is. Thanks for the reply!

[@boyinale3411]

Where they need more information when l click, it ask me to put my phone number to receive OTP, l put it but it says internal error. I never get the OTP, pls what do l do.

[@RichardDauphinsr]

Great video but you never mentioned how much these passive pod cost monthly. And also how do you know for sure how many sales you make on the passive pod since you alleviate all responsibilities to the company by not being active and controlling how many sales you refer to pod. It becomes a 'trust' transaction since they're all control over your sales with no way to check and verify...

[@GregGottfried]

Great questions. They are free to use and you never get charged. Everything comes out of the profit on each sale. You can see your sales in your dashboard on each platform. As for trust, they would be in some serious lawsuits if they tried to hide sales, so I wouldn't worry on that part. A lot more on all that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzdhX2LnNaAf5I

When I click the link to sign up it goes directly here. "Thank you for requesting an Amazon Merch on Demand account. We appreciate your interest, but your account request has been declined. We thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself to us and encourage you to check out selling options on Amazon." They won't give a reason or let me reapply.

I'm in the same situation. I'm thinking to reapply with another email address, you will either need to clear your browser history, or open an incognito tab.

You have to use a new email address each time. Sign out of your amazon and then go back and sign up for a new amazon account
