Frequently Asked Questions
How long does verification take?
We typically review applications within 2-3 business days. Complex applications may take slightly longer.
Can I reapply if rejected?
Yes! We provide feedback on rejected applications, and you can reapply with improved documentation.
What if I use AI tools for assistance?
We distinguish between AI-generated art and AI-assisted tools. Using Photoshop's AI features for backgrounds is different from generating entire artworks. Be transparent in your application.
Do I need to be a professional artist?
No! We welcome artists of all skill levels. Verification is about proving your work process, not judging skill level.
What's included in the Verified+ subscription?
Verified+ ($9.99/month) gives you premium features including top search placement, featured listings on the homepage, priority support, reduced platform fees (5% instead of 10%), and advanced analytics to track your performance.
Can I cancel Verified+ anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your Verified+ subscription anytime. Your premium benefits will continue until the end of your billing period, after which you'll return to regular Verified status.
