Improved features for creators and sellers

Creators and sellers on Redbubble face significant limitations due to missing website features and inadequate app functionality. This results in frustration, as they are unable to easily access their sales history or upload artwork directly from the app, forcing them to rely on a problematic browser experience.

    Redbubble - Shop original art — Missing website features Works well enough but as a seller I find it lacking. For one thing, I can’t find a way to view Collections or view items by design instead of product, both of which I use for shopping and to share the links promotionally.

    Redbubble - Shop original art — I wish I could upload artwork from the app I am an artist on the site, and it’s pretty inconvenient to have to go to my computer to upload art. I could go to the website from my iPad, but the website isn’t really suitable for mobile devices. Being able to upload art from the app would…

    …te isn’t much better, but at least it (used to) let me upload my art. Now chrome just crashes every time I try to upload anything. Also, they allow ai (which means they’re ok with stolen work).
