Lecture 3 Merch by Amazon is Still Developing! Preview 03:02
Merch by Amazon is so new that it is developing and changing even as I make the videos for this course! They now have a max price of $49.99 on shirts and are limiting designs to a maximum of five color options. When I made several of the videos in this course, there was no color choice max. So please keep this in mind as you go through the course and open your own Merch by Amazon account that some things may look different over time. I expect many of the changes to be for the better such as more options and more control over the product details. Time will tell.
