Opensea Reviews

security is important and you seems thatn you don t care Much speculation and manipulation

Let me start off by saying I really wanted to like Opensea When signing up in April 2021 I was super excited about the prospect of selling NFTs as a way to disrupt the status quo by shining more of a spotlight on struggling artists This as opposed to conventional art galleries where one often has to pay to play or schmooze with the elites just to gain a little bit of exposure I had hoped Opensea would embrace democratization of art while promoting and protecting the creators on its platform Turns out I was severely disappointed after being there over a year with zero sales One might wonder at this point if my photos are good enough to sell and that s a perfectly valid point Art is of course subjective and the last thing I want to do is glorify mine I also realize there is a whole lot of competition with NFTs and that s fine I have however noticed my images being stolen and marketed as NFTs on Opensea Several times I have had to issue takedown notices thanks to DeviantArt Protect which alerts me to potential violations of my intellectual property Incidentally I ve been a member of DeviantArt for 16 years with 2900 submitted images 14800 watchers and 1 3 million page views username boldfrontiers for verification purposes just like on Opensea for that matter Might sound like I m digressing with these stats and again I do not intend to inflate my ego I just want to demonstrate that I have been active as an artist for a while long enough to see my photos getting ripped off and posted elsewhere God knows how many times without my permission To the credit of Opensea they have removed the offending images every time I issued a takedown notice That s one plus I guess and in all fairness the reason why I am awarding two stars instead of one They do the bare minimum in adhering to DMCA standards when an artist complains about copyright infringement But that s as far as it goes at least in my experience Once when I issued a takedown notice I asked if I could be verified in the process Figuring I had done enough to prove verification by the very act of compelling Opensea to remove my stolen images and providing them with ample sources in the process Something they implicitly acknowledged after said images were removed yet I was met with total silence after asking to be verified In other words it seems Opensea awards verification status almost exclusively to successful artists who have already made a lot of money selling NFTs In turn feeding into this vicious cycle of continuing to reward those who made it to the top while continuing to ignore the struggling artists toiling in the shadows That said I have no problem with Opensea awarding separate badges for artists on their platform with a high track record of sales My core complaint is with the verification system as any artist able to certify ownership of their own images should be allowed the benefit of a verified creator If not then I fear many struggling artists will continue to get rolled over despite their best efforts to prove authenticity of their own images To me that betrays the spirit of NFTs and blockchain technology as Opensea apparently reverts to the old formula of curated art galleries pandering to the elites

Honestly I feel like they scammed me Tried swapping coin the usdt vanished to thin air I was panicking for a while until I was told to contact Jerryfrich on telegram he was able to help me I feel skeptical with opensea now

All is so disorganized I had an NFT on auction when the auction expired they put it themselves on auction again at the price they decided by themselves I complained nobody is answering

The Gas fee is ridiculous it is not explained anywhere I want to add ETH to my Wallet from Coinbase and they ripped me off by taking 60 of my funds Awful experience awful transparency and awful options to add my own wallet

I got this mail before a while Congratulations Killabears wandering the KillaVerse with a floor price of 3 0093 ETH Click this button to claim your What is this is it a scam or what The mail support cookunity com

A website where anyone can steal the art from someone else and then sell it as his own This is just outrageous I know that this is the users fault but instead of doing the same as Facebook s it s not the website fault for the user content they should compensate the original artist with money taken from the stealer Just add a monetary guarantee to create an account on opensea

well here i am so i was about checking on open sea and i see everyone is selling illegal things such as 1 Anonymous suspicious ID card has been sold2 A photo of fingerprint3 somewhat Absolutely useless thing that cost million of eth Edit for no 3 it suppose to cost around 0 03 or somewhat under 30 Eth this thing cost over 15 million etherium thats what i mean note PRIVACY DUDE PRIVACY i can just call this web unsafe and report it to the cyber but thus make non sense I can t just make a web blocked where someone important use it Oh and don t forget Security

The website definitely have a lot of bugs and needs improvements to make it more user friendly for anyone who is not very familiar with crypto world Comparing how easy it is to buy NFTs at NBA Top Shot OpenSea has a very long way to go Overall if you do not know how to switch between networks in MetaMask it s better to avoid OpenSea until you learn more about blockchains Verification of NFTs is another process that require a lot of work OpenSea allows a lot of NFTs with copyright issues to be listed and sold When they discover the copyright issue OpenSea delist these items but bear no responsibility towards anyone who bought NFT on the marketplace I believe OpenSea needs to create a trustworthy escrow system to provide the mid class buyers protection they need against fraud and legal issues

When the community rejected their 50 image limit on collections opensea responded like an abusive spouse and forced recaptcha for each image upload Instead of having a tiered system ie no captcha with KYC and a pattern of honesty they treat everyone like a potential criminal if your uploading vs creating a drop There are times users have to spend more time doing recaptchas than uploading They get buyers but their lack of empathy and fairness for the honest creator is disturbing I can only hope in purgatory the antisocial c suite creeps who thought this was fair have spend a few thousand years solving recaptchas or at least equal the time they forced users to waste
