Artfire Fires Back

I heard back via Artfire and they justified their actions by saying, "Since you hadn't posted anything, we freed up your name (which they kept for themselves to use)." I think they are just rationalizing their actions but I would suggest that if any of you do have an Artfire store you list at least 1 item or make a biography or something. I think since they really wanted the name they would have taken it anyway. But I made it ever so easy for them since I hadn't added listings yet. I was going to have a grand opening and list 10 things at once and I haven't finished them all yet. They saw my store sitting empty and snaked it out from under me. Not sure I will stay with Artfire after this. If I can't trust them with an issue of integrity not involving money, how can I trust them with money?

Artfire Burns Me Up

I'm mad as a hatter at Artfire today. They took away my shop name, which was Steampunk, and stuck me with Steampunk1 so they could use the name Steampunk as a group listing. Burns me up. They neither asked my permission or informed me that they had changed it. Heck, they didn't even give me a chance to make my own 'new' shop name. Nor can I call them because their business offices are closed until Mon. Frell.

I Signed Up For Artfire

I just opened an Artfire store called Steampunk. So now I need to make jewelry and other items to list in it. I thought I'd better snap up that name while it was still available. Register on ArtFire.com If you use my referral link I might even get my account for free.

I also have another shop there called Hypnotic Treasures. But I will probably put things in my other shop first.
