Posted my first 'gig' last night. wake up to an email;
"The image you are using to represent your Gig has been flagged for copyright infringement.

Using a stock image, a random photo from the Internet or an image that you bought from a different seller, may mislead buyers. This can lead to negative reviews and cancellations from buyers"
The painting is MINE. I am an artist. I have been selling online since 2000. I sell on other sites. I cannot infringe MY OWN copyright. How can I sell an image if they won't allow me to post the image? Replace the image with WHAT? How can I sell the print if I can't show people what they are getting? I was going to use this site to sell digital images of my work, but obviously won't bother if I am going to get this hassle every time.
Is all this extra work and hassle worth it for 5 bucks I wonder?
