Redbubble

Redbubble loves banning sellers & artists for no reason whatsoever. Me and others I know had our entire page removed with no warning, deleting our whole store and all product designs. I will never mess with these fools again. I highly suggest buying and selling elsewhere.

I purchased 2 sets of Drink Coasters from Vicky Braggo Mitchell at Red Bubble in August 2025. The transaction was completed with PayPal. A few days after this transaction I received an email from PayPal saying that my payment had been reversed… Read more

because they had red flagged a security alert with this transaction. I did in fact receive my package. I was sent an opened empty package from Red Bubble. I will never shop at Red Bubble again, because of security concerns. Thank you so much to PayPal, for once again for saving the day, and protecting my payment.

I have bought numerous Tshirts from Redbubble, and the delivery, product quality and customer service is incredible. Only once did I have a problem with the sizing, and Redbubble immediately posted a replacement. Effortless! Will remain a loyal customer. Regards, Estelle Walters Show details

I've used Redbubble twice and can honestly boast the best phone cases that I've ever had. Sturdy, non-bulky and beautifully printed. So many designs on offer - I'll keep coming back.

Perfect! Good quality. Super fast delivery. Great communication. I’ll definitely be back and recommend Redbubble to anyone who wants a good quality T shirt.

i tried to create an account to sell my designs 4 times and my account kept being suspended for absolutely no reason given! i also tried to buy something from redbubble and never received it! total scammers AVOID!! Show details

Ordered a large Sharks Rugby sticker - cost about $56 with postage - never arrived and these clowns have never bothered to respond to my emails asking where my purchase is. Basically, nothing more than petty theft on their part. AVOID AT ALL COST!

Just got an order of 2 scarves with mixed results. One of them the colours are true to the example shown on the web site, the other is quite muddy and the print is not at all crisp... quite disappointing. Also the white edging, which they do point out may be visible, is quite off-putting IRL. I'll be having to do a new hem to hide the white. … Read more

so really only halfway there. At least this parcel arrived. I'm still waiting for one of my "in time for Christmas" ones.

I’ve purchased several times, but never again. Products are hit and miss, some are great, some are poor quality. Sizes are challenging too, for example I am a size 8-10 Australian (size 4-8 US) and I’m medium on Redbubble and a small (or x small) pretty much everywhere else. The postage is also high, and they don’t allow you to sign for it (last… Read more

time the postman just stuffed it in my letterbox, hanging out for anyone to steal, fortunately my neighbour saw it and kept it safe until I got home). I really like racerback and v neck shirts, and on my last order I added a bunch of extras for the grandkids too. I got a confirmation email saying everything was confirmed, but then a few days later an email saying they couldn’t do the racerbacks in the size/colour I wanted. I enquired back asking if they had a different colour. I got an email reply saying they don’t know when they will have stock again. I pointed out that I didn’t ask about when my colour choice would be available again, but rather if they had other colours. I got a reply saying that they don’t know if they have other colours (seriously). They then said they don’t know if the issue is the colour, size, or style. How can any company operate without having any idea of the inventory?!?! All this and yet they haven’t taken down any of these racerbacks from their website. I can still place the exact same order again and they would still take my money. I would not have purchased anything if I’d known they didn’t have these products available but because they delayed telling me, the other products are now in the mail and I can’t cancel them. Save yourself the disappointment and don’t bother.

I was an artist who submitted work to red bubble and made a pittance but removed all my work when they also started charging artists to showcase their work. Just another money making corporation pretending to support artists but now taking advantage of them. I wont buy from this company anymore and I used to buy a lot.

What a bunch of scammers really. So I load up my cart since they had a sale on and opt for the 25% off coupon if you join, so my cart is at 225 now in real world maths less 25% coupon is 168 plus postage , the discount was off full price , what a bunch of misleading people. So I dump my cart , you get no money and never will

I had been a Redbubble seller for a few years and had around 400 designs on the site, including some approved designs through the official fan art channel. In late June, I uploaded some photos I took whilst on trips to the USA from around 2007 to 2012. Imagine my surprise when I got the following email: "We’re writing to let you know that your… Read more

account has been suspended.

Accounts may be suspended for the following reasons:

There was fraudulent activity connected to the account.

The products listed in the shop may not have been originally created by the user, such as mass produced art reproductions, stock images, or vector packs.

The shop may have contained products that could be misleading to consumers, such as claiming to be products not offered on the Redbubble marketplace or possessing inaccurate qualities or materials not offered on Redbubble.

The account was created after an associated account was disabled.

The account was found to be owned or operated by someone under 16 years of age.

Do not attempt to open another account. Usernames and email addresses found to be connected to a suspended account will be disabled.

Thank you for understanding,

Redbubble"

Naturally, I was surprised and confused. I assumed this was an error and that I'd been accidentally caught up in an automated system, and that a human review would quickly resolve the issue. In order to try to connect with a human, you have to submit a 'suspension appeal', which requires you to take a photo of yourself holding a piece of paper showing your Redbubble username.

I did that on June 28th 2025, and received this response:

"Hi ,

Your request for account reinstatement has been submitted. A few things to keep in mind:

If your account is reinstated, you should receive a response within two weeks. Submitting multiple requests, forms, or responding to this email will not improve your chances for reinstatement and could make your appeal ineligible. Please ensure that all of the required information in the Appeals Request Form has been included to prevent any delays — the information you provide will help us with our investigation process. If your request is reviewed by someone from our specialized team, we will let you know in a separate email. Thanks again for your patience and understanding."

I found this response concerning, particularly the suggestion that responding further could negatively affect any appeal.

I did reply, because after being a member of the platform for some time, I felt that the situation warranted clarification and that my concerns deserved to be heard. I received this reply:

"Thanks for following up on your account reinstatement appeal. As mentioned in our previous message, we are not able to review all account Suspension appeals. If your request is reviewed by someone from our specialized team, we will let you know in a separate email within two weeks. Responding to this email may result in an automatic denial, making your account suspension permanent. Thanks again for understanding."

I followed up on the 12th and 22nd of July 2025, but I've still not received any response from Redbubble.

The experience has left me extremely disappointed with Redbubble's approach to its creators. No human from Redbubble ever contacted me to ask about any of the works I had uploaded. Every automated response indicated that replies might not be read by a human and could potentially risk permanent suspension.

For context, my shop contained approximately 400 vector and graphic designs created by me using Affinity Designer. These included illustrations, artworks, and designs, some of which were approved through Redbubble's official fan art/licensing channels. I also retain the original source files for my work. One of my licensed Pan Am designs received positive feedback from customers, including former Pan Am employees who reached out to thank me for creating it.

I am not disputing Redbubble's right to enforce its policies; my concern is the lack of transparency and meaningful human involvement before a permanent suspension is imposed.

I hope Redbubble improves this process so that genuine creators are given the opportunity for meaningful human review before losing access to their accounts and their work.

My husband and I have bought multiple products, the site has improved in recent times to search the wide variety of unique designs. The hoodie and Tshirts are great quality, thick and true sizing. The designs were well made as per photos online, we were very happy with the products and quick delivery. We had one issue with an ordered item… Read more

regarding the print alignment, took a photo and received a new item with no hassle. Very happy with the quality and range of products. Highly recommend. Love the stickers and greeting cards too.

I ordered from RedBubble the art poster by Max Ernst . The quality of printing is very poor :( And it cost 39,15 € + postal fee!!! "Max Ernst by qlAinwoRTy 1 x Poster [Medium (594mm x 713mm), Semi Gloss]"

very disappointed in the whole experience, poor promotion of product and payment not defined and when closing account they do not pay out. have gone to better site.

I ordered a Bass chart thru them from MusicalTools. Turns out the chart has totally wrong notes in chords etc. really bad and unusable mostly.. Redbubble DOES NOT REFUND..Looking at previous reviews many many people complained on Trust pilot about low quality goods, goods not matching description and they received no response from Redbubble OR… Read more

that they only offer a Redbubbje voucher (unlawfully) or a replacement (with still the same low quality goods!) That they offer a replacement or a voucher without offering a refund under the conditions listed .. following..is totally illegal in Australia..ie to deny a buyer a full refund for faulty goods. According to ACCC, if an item is faulty, different than expected, OR the item is not as described or Not fit for the purpose it was made for, then the BUYER has the option of a full refund. It is NOT Redbubble's decision at all. They MUST offer a refund to the buyer. If the item is from a third party on their website, then Redbubble is responsible to make sure the third party obeys the law OR Redbubble makes good the damage. I think a letter to the ACCC is in order ..I will decide when I get my response from the CEO. I am positive the ACC will be very interested in this. If you have a similar experience please write a review so others are made aware of their practice. Buy from Amazon or Ebay.. they obey ACCC law and you are protected.

I bought a raft of t-shirts of different sizes and styles, and while the print quality is ok, the fabric of the shirts themselves are horrible! The ‘Essential’ and ‘Classic’ shirts particularly are pilling straight from the bag, before I even washed them, and two were discoloured or stained. I started the return process with detailed explanations… Read more

and photos, only to get an emailing telling me just to wash the discoloured shirt. No comments about all of the other issues. I replied five days ago, same day as receiving the email, but have yet to hear back. I definitely regret my purchases and am losing hope of a refund. One of my items was also cancelled due to them being out of stock of the base shirt - so why was that not noted on the site?

I loved the photo but was so disappointed with the 1000 piece zigsaw of the F1 start. The resolution was so blurred it was impossible to finish. 2 adults separately gave this a go. It may have been better in the 250 piece. Also the quality of the cardboard was only mediocre, the pieces had trouble staying together. Delivery was excellent, though Sorry, but I won’t be buying zigsaws as gifts from redbubble again.

Worst service, dont reply to contacts, basically it appears most items are lost and never to be found. You have a 70% chance of not getting the item or your money back. Do not buy from this company. I would love to show you a photo but i didnt get the items i paid for.
