FYI - Yesterday I ordered some buttons for my park bag both the grey and aqua genie designs (I couldn’t decide) and this morning I got an email from Zazzle saying the grey design violated their copyright rules and was cancelled. The aqua design was approved and would be shipped.
I was going to ask if we are married to this vendor in a way that cannot be undone. Because it seems to be completely arbitrary as to what gets flagged and what gets through.
The only reason we’ve gone with them so far was everything was already setup (so the bank accounts and the verifications of that were already done. Which sped up the time line to get the new designs out.).
Personally, I was liking them for their design interface. I found it incredibly flexible for designs, especially on ones like this where you could make several “versions” for the buyer to edit.
your guess is as good as anyone’s at this point. Their “checker” is obviously algorithm-based. I can’t even fathom what it’s latching on to. Especially with this design.
Cause it also falls under “parody” which circumvents most copyright problems.
If you switch vendors could you see if the next one has more than one option for pooh-sized women? This one seems a bit straight cut on the sides. Since I’m much bigger up top, if the shirt has a womanly shape I look fine. V-necks are good too.
I will reply to Zazzle and ask what gives. I was going to wait to make sure they actually send the aqua one first though - didn’t want to screw that up! I ordered exactly as designed, just transferred to a button instead of a T-shirt. The only difference between the 2 would have been the genie color… and certainly the grey shouldn’t have triggered anything. Will report back what I hear.
Thanks for all your work on this! Love the design.
There’s other t-shirt cuts you can put the design to. However, we won’t have much choice in t-shirt cuts. Especially when it comes to these “on demand design” places.
Either way, we won’t completely abandon Zazzle, no need to as it’s not like it hurts us, just more like adding other avenues.
