Article Marked Sold, Then Not Sold
Posted: Wed May 09, 2012 3:10 pm
Good day,
Last night, one of my articles (What You Should Know About SEO in 2012) was marked as waiting, then marked sold for full rights, though I received no "article sold" notification. The sale was reflected on my account status page, under amount due. When I woke up, the article was available for sale again, and the money was removed from my amount due line. Naturally, my fear is that there's an exploit allowing buyers to "buy" an article and download it without actually purchasing it.
What happened? Has this happened before and should I be concerned? Is there a possibility that my article was downloaded without being paid for?
