- The same product photos get reused
- The same mockups appear across different stores
- Titles and descriptions repeat
- The same crop, background, or edit shows up again and again
The result looks like dozens of independent sellers “finding” your work. In practice, many are inheriting the same assets and publishing variations.
What fast spread usually looks like
- One listing appears.
- Another appears using the same images.
- Several appear across different platforms within days or weeks.
- Seller names change while the presentation stays consistent.
What to capture when you’re seeing multiple sellers
When more than one seller is involved, the record needs to show repetition.
Save:
- URLs and full-page screenshots for each listing
- Screenshots of any identical mockups or image crops
- Seller storefront URLs and product grid screenshots
- Dates found
A simple folder structure helps:
- One folder per design
- Subfolders by platform
What this changes for you, the artist
Multiple listings are usually a distribution pattern, not a one-off.
That matters for how you track it:
- Focus on collecting clean evidence of repetition
- Focus on links and seller context
- Avoid spending energy on individual arguments with sellers
