OVERSTOCK SUCKS!!!!!!!

Well, ALL BETS ARE OFF
They put the person back on
are unavailable by phone and do not return emails~
I have spent all of my free time this week reporting auctions that are not where or what they are supposed to be there~
Today when I saw this Geni -Lulu- LN person back
I threatened them with a class action lawsuit~
This is CRAZY
These people cannot have plagairized work stay there when they know darn well that is what it is~
Her response was that one artist could just be jealous of another
I think the pictures, dates, and FACTS stand out by themselves do they not?
If they are uneducated, they need to hire someone who has an education in such things!
This should have been pushed to a higher up 6 months ago!I thought this place wanted our business?!?!
SO I accredit no place to do a successful job of not allowing outright copying~
I think they should all be a heck of a lot more responsible than they are being~
mad mad mad

My apologies as of today I would NOT list on Overstock until they return with some REAL responses~

OK Stage 2 we can start listing on Overstock SRA for now and we need to let Carla know that we want to have a low tolerance rule for copying artists and a place where people will not list prints to put our artwork! This will be a long process, Carla today is setting up a proposal for disabling all right clicking on auctions and then will submit a proposal and want all of us to send individual emails to her to give to overstock as part of this proposal

The proposal will be that we have a low tolerance listing where we as ORIGINAL ARTISTS can list our artwork, where we can have a VERY specific policy on copying and a moderator who will promise to listen and report asap.

We will alos open up a discussion board as we move into overstock to help guide us through the process and iron out the wrinkles

Overstock will give listing monies to those with high feedback scores and powersellers in order to get these free listing monies you need to call Carla Williams at Overstock

In order for overstock to do their job correctly we will all need to email Carla individually so she can make a grand case to the higher ups!

Here is the info you need to do these things:

cawilliams@overstock.com

Carla WIlliams 801 947 3100

Please let us do this together and move as one big force we can have the kind of auction site we can be proud of to list on :)

I spoke with overstock directly this morning and I think we have a GO

There of course will need to be more talks, and lots of fixes but we are going to get our own space either under the already existent SRA or a new NO TOLERANCE category called ART artists representing themselves

In return we LIST there as original artists, and hopefully we can get ourselves some press as well this would be a huge deal guys~ Cheaper listing, a reason to get oyrselves in the news, and a safe place to list!

I do want a list of people who want to join me in this

Please DO email me :)

esellen@sbcglobal.net

OK you guys this is AWESOME!

Not only is Overstock picking back up hit wise
but a lot of their main sellers who have been long time copy cat artists~ Some that have been permanently removed from EBay~ are being REMOVED!!

I wrote overstock when the A and A boards had Jennifer on and I saw there were going to be no changes and told them that if they were willing to take a hard line with some of the copycat artists that I know a TON of good original artists who would want to list there and maybe even get them publicity~No response yet email wise but I did mention one copy artist in particular just as an example

Then I went on overstock just now and TAAA DAAA

36"x24" Original Contemporary Painting by LN
$69.99
7
geni (Inactive)

She has been CUT!!!

I am going to try listing again on overstock and will call them later this week~ Maybe we can have a juried original art section that we can all sell on safely on Overstock~ Take the prints out of art and put them under Home Decor or something to simplify buying for our buyers!

Plus, guys, overstock is HALF the price to list!!

I am excited again about overstock and just wanted you guys to know!
