Default Live in UK sell in USA, advice required

Hi,

I'm after some advice as to the best way to sell prints in America.

Background: I took a panoramic shot of Lake Tahoe some years ago and by using Google reverse image look up found someone using my picture on their website. From here it's developed into the posibility of them helping me sell print over there. So...

Should I get it printed here, so I can check quality etc and then ship it over?

or

Get it printed and delivered over there?

I was planning on offering what ever size people would want...

Any advice is welcome.


Many thanks,

Marc

My question is, can you trust someone to sell your images after you found a stolen one on their website?

Yeah I think I can, it's not like it was a high resoution picture they put on their site, and it offers me a way of getting it into print as such, which would be nice.

by using a store-front website like, idk, Zenfoio, Smugmug, Cafepress etc you can control the price yourself independently.. I know if you use Zenfolio, they print through Mpix who always get good grades amongst photographers..
