Waiting to get my test shirt. The whole system is actually really weird. You need money to run this. Like... starting money. And none of the videos saying make money, open your own store covers this. You are an intermediary between the sales and the manufacturing.

All these online systems talk well enough to each other for transferring sales information, but fail to take what is needed over to the other one.

So, for every order that comes in, I uave to pay out of pocket, then, I get paid out later by the seller site, to cover it. The seller site takes their cut, which wats into the shipping cost, and if I'm not careful, if a printer is unavailable and I uave to order the same shirt at a higher price, I might pay out of pocket for the shirt.

Not one video I have seen has covered this possibility.
