Have you tried those random clothing/merch sites?

Update: Gilgamesh compensated me via Paypal because of the blastoise design, which is good :3
Weeks ago people were notifying me about my pokemon art being sold in that site. Which isn't new tbh, nowadays there are a lot of sketchy sites selling stolen art. And fillings DMCAs against those sites is a waste of times in most of cases. By curiosity I contacted that site and they offered me an affiliate program, they didn't ask sketchy info, and payment is via Stripe, which seems safe and I have used to receive payments in sites like Artconomy and Twitter. The requirements are mostly just having a big amount of followers.
After going through that, I can get paid a 10% if people use my discount code "SIFYRO" or referral links I can create from my account, for example, merch of my Blastoise drawing https://gilgamesh.co/r?id=heb4q5
I looked if people have bought merch from that site, but I only find 3 persons online talking about it, and only 1 of them showing the merch physically in a video. It makes me think that isn't still kinda sketchy or maybe the site is small or kinda new.
I was wondering if some of your have tried this kind of site? not just Gilgamesh, but similar sites that are always advertised in social media like twitter, tiktok, facebook.
I'm interested on your honest opinion, but please don't vent/rant here.

That being said I have shilled out money for your prints specifically and would probably buy wherever you're selling over caring about platform.
I suppose that some of them MAY make things to order and sell them, but I suspect that more often they're just either looking for customer's financial data or money without actually ever sending them a product. Many of the "Deals" are too good to be true, which should be a tip-off right there.
sobre ese tipo de paguinas que mencionas.. haa nose es complicado, la verdad no esperaria mucho de un trato asi. digo, es solo si usan tu codigo de descuento? no es por cuanto vende tu disenio?
me imagino que hay de paguinas a paguinas, sugiero que tengas cuidado donde subas tus disenios, por que debe aver muchas pequenias paguinas que terminan siendo de una sola empresa. si vas a dirigir a tus seguidores a alguna de estas paguinas que sea una de confiansa. o si realmente quieres dedicar un disenio especificamente a playera seguro te aceptan como afiliada en una paguina buena como Yetee (muy buena calidad la imprecion alli)
I've only very recently purchased from a "small" site, but it's run by an individual artist themselves and I found it via a convention's vendor list so I was inclined to trust it more. ...not that I've gotten my shirt yet, but I guess we'll see, haha. It was worth a shot. Kind of on the fence about Gilgamesh by comparison still; I'd be the person who waits to see if someone successfully buys/receives something first.
Wait, typing that reminded me! I think my sister bought from one of these sites before! Some shirts with Studio Ghibli characters then some pokemon shirts for her kids. The pokemon ones turned out fine. The Ghibli ones, I assume because of the size and the art likely being stolen, was actually slightly blurry on the shirt (it was 2XL I think). She was still happy with her purchases; I thought she should've complained about the blur, but that's just me. The pokemon ones, a Charizard shirt and a Jolteon shirt, looked flawless image wise front and back.
Sorry for the long comment; I remembered that and thought I should include it.
