and many others.

To be able to sell these illustrations the seller needs Enhansed/Extended License that is very expensive.

What is the sense to buy such expensive Licenses and sell the images for 1$?

Post by: angelawaye on January 09, 2017, 10:22: You can report this to etsy. At the very bottom of the listing there is a link in gray. I've had to report some of my work being sold illegally on Etsy. They take it down.
