Accounts are categorized towards the beginning of an artist’s enrollment on the site at TeePublic’s sole discretion. We cannot disclose every factor that goes into these decisions, but among the criteria are design quality, artistic skill level, volume of designs, and consumer appeal. An account may be re-reviewed and re-categorized at any time based on these or other factors.
We will not be responding to or fulfilling any requests for Account Category upgrades so make sure you are uploading an accurate representation of the designs you plan to contribute to the TeePublic marketplace in your initial uploads.
