Legal advice

I do computer graphics and publish works in online photobanks where they can be purchased. According to standard licensing agreements, the buyer does not have the right to resell the image, replicate it, mass produce stickers, badges and other things where the image remains an image. Found that one British online store offers for sale stickers on laptop computers with my images. I haven’t contacted the photobank yet, since they don’t oblige themselves to protect the images in any situation, but I would like to stop the illegal use of the products. I live in Latvia, the photobank seems to be American, the store is British. In general, I, of course, do not mind someone releasing stickers with my images, but I want to get my share of the copyright for this. Can I ask the seller for stickers to pay a fine and share part of the profit? Or, if the pictures were transferred to the photobank, I can do nothing but demand to stop the illegal use? Is it worth making a test purchase of a sticker to have proof?
