Art Auction Worldwide

A Free Art Auction Site,art,paintings,art sales,art investers,artist,collections

I had a premium membership with ArtWanted.com from, 2/2008~ 2/2009

Since I hadnt any apparent sales, I dropped down to a 'free' basic member- which meant having t he majority of my gallery deleted [ over 150 pics]

I was allowed to keep 100 pics up. I have about 95~

I received an email from a relative that bought my artwork on Art Wanted, spending $199.70 that he paid Art Wanted on April 3rd, 2009

I received NO NOTICE of ANY SALES from ART WANTED~~~!!

I read the site and found that if you are only a 'basic' member you can not sell there~

Well when I downgraded, they left my pics up for sale~
They have been selling my artwork!!!
They have not been telling me, nor paying me~

I wrote to them and am awaiting their response.

I was only made aware of this sale as my brother mentioned he bought a bunch of my artwork and then send me the receipt from Paypal~

I wonder if I had any other sales they never told me about!!


So be carefull~!

UPDATE~ BECAUSE I RAISED ALARMS, ARTWANTED REFUNDED THE MONEY AND DID NOT PRINT THOSE PICTURES..

WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS AS ARTISTS , WHICH IS WHY I PUT THIS BLOG ALL OVER THE NET...

MAYBE NOW ARTWANTED WILL ALLOW BASIC MEMBERS TO SELL FOR FREE OR AT LEAST NOTIFY MEMBERS WHEN THERE IS A SALE.

Wow, this is very troubling! I am so sorry you went through this! I am a free member there and am not aware ot this and am pretty sure it is not listed anywhere in their terms? Is it? If not then this is fraud isn't it? Omg, well, I know I will not sell there anyway but I am really there for friends that I know. Hugs to you Ave,
Judy

Thank you for sharing.
I wonder how many sales they made that way or still make =:O.
It should be mandatory to list those sales on their site anyway, so people get an idea if anything is selling at all.
Love and peace
