Title: Account Suspension?
Post by: chrisbradshaw on February 17, 2015, 09:56

I just received an email from ABC stating that unless I upload some new designs they are going to suspend my account.  I don't see any upload requirements in their artist agreement.  Has anyone else received an email like this?

what site is this? Looks and feels like scam to me. Sorry it`s just my opinion.

I got one of those email as well.  I submitted some new cards last week, not sure what they are thinking.

Edit: ABC responded to my email saying that their email to me was in error.

I got a bad vibe from them when I took a look at them years ago. Glad I stayed away. Really scummy to have upload requirements like that.

I got one too...
I sent  a few designs a few years back, and I dont remember,  maybe 20 cards. Maybe mine is what I would considerer an inactive account. 

I replied that I didn't have any new designs to upload, and to let me know when the account is closed.

I just don't know...I just think they could have worded the email differently...account suspension in the subject makes people jump out of their seat.

I got the same email.  Apparently it was an error.

I had one of those a long time ago. I never uploaded anything there after signing up, so I didn't really care. I don't know if they actually did anything.

I got a notice yesterday as well.   I had uploaded a while ago and even made a few $5 sales (which they paid you for immediately which was nice), however their system was the clunkiest I had ever seen.   Then I uploaded more a while later and they rejected them because their design standards had changed in some way that I hadn't been made aware of. 

So, in the end it was too much of a pain to deal with.

I got one, too. I told them to go ahead and delete my account, that I wouldn't be uploading any more cards. I only sell something about 3x a year. Not enough to worry about, for sure. I did mention that I wanted them to be sure to delete all of my designs.

Yep, got one as well. What a terrible subject line to wake up to - especially since the "from" field only gives a persons name, not the company.

About to tell them to close my account. Hasn't been worth my time.
