Hey all, I'm about to start my own little t-shirt business on a shoestring budget, and I am trying to figure out how much working capital I will need to have ready.

So, if I were to order 25 shirts in one design it would cost ~$200 (about $8/shirt), right? Cool.

Here's my concern. If my design were to start selling like hotcakes (crosses fingers), I might need to order more inventory in a hurry. If I sold all 25 of the initial order I would have ~$350 ($200 + ~$6/shirt profit) in my 'account'. So, can I use that $350 dollars to order more inventory, or do I have to pay separately for more inventory and wait for that $350 to show up in the form of a check?

If I can keep 'recycling' capital for inventory, awesome.

If I have to keep shoveling money into inventory and wait X number of weeks for the profits to come back, I'm going to need a lot more capital to start.

And yes, I read the FAQ, but this particular issue was not very clear to me.

Best to send an email to PrintMojo for a direct answer

But in general, I think you would need to wait for your payment to be sent to you before you can use those funds for a re-order.

That's because there's a 30 day money back guarantee on the products that are shipped out for you. That gives your customers a peace of mind to know they can return the merchandise in case of any problems.

Thanks, I figured I might need to ask them directly.

I'm a bit surprised no one else could answer, though, I thought there were several PrintMojo users on this board.

i am going to use them, but i'm still in the very early stages, and have only very recently sent request for my first bit of inventory with them. so, i'm afraid i wouldn't be much help to anyone at this point...but i'd be happy to share some of my experiences with pm as i get further into it. perhaps some of the others will offer up some of their experience for us 'newbies' as well...
