Well I keep getting sales on ebay, so that's nice. Having a featured plus listing and listing as close to daily as possible is a big help. Since there are so many photos on ebay many people that are browsing the category doing by photos that are ending first, so if you have things ending everyday your chance of someone seeing your stuff is greater. Also, I'm getting some sales outside ebay and some of this is due to the greater exposure on ebay.

One of the things that really freaks some people out about having their images on the internet, is image theft and copyright infringement. I'm not too concerned about it. If I find out about it, I'll try to stop it if they're not giving me credit for the image. I can find them off my website stats--it lists new referrers. Either they are stealing an image off my site. Some times it's real hard to find. Like when it's someone's little picture on an online forum. At first I thought--"Oh cool, someone's mentioned my pictures in a post," but no. There's one floating around some goth website, but after a few minutes of reading about teen angst I gave up searching--in my mind it's a cute punk rock girl who has great taste and is in a band (preferably a bass player or drummer), who steals my picture, then it's okay.

I did find one on someone's blog, but it was so confusing as to who actually owned the blog, I gave up. There is one type of blog where it appears that many people can post to it, also other people have these other people's blog posts on their blog--see I told you it was confusing--I suppose I could understand it if I took the time. I really don't mind, just give me a mention or a link. Maybe they do and I can't find it.
