Sort of.  Apparently it doesn't happen unless you contact them and request it, and even then it doesn't update automatically, and Amazon adds their fat markup on top of FAA's, and you have no control over which images you offer... etc. etc.   In other words totally half-baked.

This is old news.  Nice for the already rich artists like Damien Hirst but no use to us.  Until amazon let everyone sell on their site, there's still only sites like FAA for us.

i think they're testing the waters and will soon open the gates to everybody as they did with ebooks.

however, you can expect they will ripoff contributors with miserable fees as usual.

Xanox. I appreciate you pointing out what's going on a Amazon. But why do you find it necessary to slander FAA by calling it a fly by night company? I make regular sales there and have nothing but 100% satisfaction. They offer a satisfaction guarantee and I have had no complaints or returns. I get a payout on the 15th of every month and I know a month ahead exactly how much I am getting. These a public forums and raising public suspicion about sites we sell on is counterproductive to making sales.
