Why My Design Processing For Long Time?
Due to unknown reasons, some content creators are currently experiencing long delays with processing. Processing has been fairly fast over the last number of months, until this last week. Amazon has yet to chime in to tell us why so many folks are getting “stuck in processing”. We had major problems with this issue most of last year. The current issue could be a bug/problem with their processing systems like before, or…. you asked could it be related to designs being ip checked in some way: perhaps, it seems possible. Last month Amazon said they were going to implement a new system to better check designs for copycat problems, perhaps that system got implemented recently and that’s causing the problems, interesting theory!
Processing error: Some listings get stuck in processing for a long time, and there isn’t much we can do about it.

How Long Does It Take To Process A Design On Merch By Amazon?
There’s no set time it takes for Amazon Merch to approve a design. For some sellers, the approval process may be relatively quick, and their designs could be approved within a few hours or days. However, for others, it might take longer (like 6 months), and the approval process could take several days or even weeks.
One of your design when uploading might face this issues. Please do not worry, you are not alone. Many people like you and it is just an error on system of Amazon.
If you send an email for help from Amazon, they will rely like this:
“Thank you for your question. We are aware that some t-shirts may show a processing status on the Manage page of the dashboard. While they remain processing, you will not be able to delete the shirt or edit the description. We are continuously working to complete publishing of these t-shirts. We will detect these t-shirts automatically and work to resolve each one. For more information on the processing status, please see the article here. Thank you for your patience.”
What Is The Disadvantage Of This Error?
Unfortunately, for lower tier sellers it is pain, but honestly there is nothing to do. Some of us had processing designs for months and even over a year. Just wait it out, nothing else to do sadly.
