New Products | Merch By Amazon

New Products Added Finally Well after months of debate and conjecture on everyone's part, the Merch crew has finally added a few new products. The old line up has been getting pretty stale with the last update being popsockets, as far as new products. Though the MBA crew has been working hard and has fixed many issues with the platform, the new product rollouts are still done at a snail's pace. Though many thought phone cases or those weird lettered sunglasses would be up (Maybe they are in secret) The crew pulled a fast one on us all, though we did expect one item.

Think of your listings coming down 25 or 50 or 100 at a time! Let's take a look at how to minimize this. Slow Down Uploads                                                           One of the things you will learn is to slow down how much you upload a day or week depending on you. If you have 100 slots to fill, don't rush. You get 10 or 25 uploads a day (I don't remember exactly) Your shirts seem to go on a carousel of...
