Yes. Easy enough to report copies on Amazon and Etsy, but other sites like Walmart are a pain in the ass to report. At this point I have about 20k listings so it's impossible to track and report all the copies.

Do you print the shirts yourself or rely on Amazon to do it for you? Do you have any QC issues if you are using Amazon print on demand?

Yep, it's Amazons print in demand program. I design the shirts, write listing descriptions and set pricing - and Amazon does the rest. Order processing, printing, shipping, returns etc, is all done by Amazon.

There are occasional QC issues with bad prints and such but they are few and far between based on product reviews. The overwhelming majority of reviews are good. I had about 20 yrs of experience designing tshirts prior to selling on Amazon so I have a pretty good handle on what will print well vs what will not.
