I did an art trade with a user a while back, everything went a-okay. Both parts are completed. I check FA today and see a 'Prepose' flat rate sale and see something wrong.

It was the trade they did for me.

When I did the trade, they showed me two sketches to pick from, I chose sketch A. The user is now selling off BOTH sketches, including the one I chose, as prepose commissions. They said it was okay because they are not using my character. I told them I felt ripped off, because I expected an original piece, and provided one, and now there will be mass copies made of mine (multiple people can purchase the sketches).

They haven't replied yet, but I'm wondering if it's okay for them to do this because it's a trade, or if I'm right to be upset and feel ripped off?
And if the latter, should I pose a beware?

I recently stumbled on an artist's page who is using multiple base poses for their YCH auctions. The original pose creator says that they are available to use...but for inspiration or reference. It states in one of their journals that they do not want people using them for commissions. The poses are all obvious as no real change have been made, and they are one of the first pose sets to show up on google. (I lined several of them up and they matched in several places)

Basically, poses are iffy is why I am asking what should be done. Do using other peoples bases warrant an artist beware?

I know you guys have many posts addressing copyright issues and I know what the general thought is regarding it - however, I did an art piece for a relative and giving copyright over was assumed in this case... no price agreed upon though he promised to pay me, not a problem as it was really a gift and I would have done it for free.  It's for his personal brewing company - to my knowledge, not to be sold, just for fun, anyway.  So I spend time drawing this image, it's a fully colored piece with no background, something I'd normally charge $50-75 for the image itself on a letter-sized cardstock. I send off the hi-res raw scan and color-corrected scans and will be sending the originals soon.

Is he saying that any paid image automatically is copyright the person buying it?  Or that I have to apply for a copyright anytime I want to claim my own art or post it online?  Or is all this if I'm working without a TOS beforehand?

Can anyone in the graphic design/art for published works/etc industry experience let me know what is going on with this? My relative - who is a sign maker and deals with this frequently - says something different than what I previously understood about the subject.  Just for future reference.  Thanks!

Hi all, I just wanted to say that I've been lurking a while and this will be the first post I make here. I came across a dilemma and I'm just wondering if I'm doing the right thing at this point.

So a quick backstory. I commissioned this artist back in January 2012 and I've been incredibly patient with her. After some thinking I emailed her last month and requested a refund. She said she would give it to me by the end of the week. A few days later she told me she was having problems getting money into her bank account. It's been a month and I have not heard from her at all. I sent her an email a few days ago checking in on what's been going on and as of this post I have not received anything.

My main question is regarding the issue with Paypal. Does it take a while for this kind of issue to be resolved and if it does should I be more patient? Or should I attempt to create a beware about her? I'm not really sure what to do at this point so I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!
