   Artfire is an online storefront for scammers

   Artfire hosts several scam vendors. Artfire does nothing to protect the consumer or screen scam sellers. A quick peek at their site will reveal many deals to good to be true. I reached out to artfire and here is their response:

   Hello,

   ArtFire provides a listing service similar to a classified ad. Anyone is welcome to list and sell on ArtFire as along as they comply with our Terms of Service. Those terms include a requirement to ship products in a timely fashion and communicate with buyers. If Sellers fail to comply with our TOS they are removed from the platform and their shops are closed. We do remove sellers on a regular basis who have not fully complied with our TOS. All purchases are made between buyer and seller. ArtFire does not process payment or have access to any funds. This means that a buyer can always dispute or initiate a chargeback directly with their payment provider.

   Sincerely, ArtFire Customer Service

• A man offers you $10,000 USD if you deliver fake cocaine to the cartel and promises lifetime protection if you succeed. Do you take this offer?

  Yep. I would get a bag of flour, put a sticky note on it that says “Cocaine” w/ a QR code to this video. Then deliver it to big cartel’s offices. Source: 10 months ago

• GoDaddy VS Squarespace

  If you only sell a handful of products I can recommend using the free version of bigcartel.com. It's specifically made for selling arts and crafts, trinklets, etc. You can even set up a free custom domain on the free plan. Source: about 1 year ago

• my shop is on strike, but I've been thinking of leaving Etsy for awhile. Anyone have any alternatives?

  I don't think there's any marketplaces for handmade products (apart from Amazon Handmade) but if you want to have a shopping cart I recommend Big Cartel. It's remotely hosted (not self hosted) and it's designed for unsigned and independent creators (rather than department stores with thousands of products and categories). Yhey are targeting the lower-tier merchants rather than the middle tier and upper tier. It's... Source: about 2 years ago

• Looking for website suggestions for a boutique.

  If you haven't already I recommend you check out bigcartel.com (not affiliated in any way). They're pretty easy to setup in my experience and their target audience is exactly those selling shirts, arts, and crafts etc. Source: about 2 years ago

• What's an easy to use website builder that would let me start selling prints?

  You might look into Saatchiart.com and bigcartel.com; both sites where you can sell prints, but don't need to build your own web page. Source: over 2 years ago

• Too hot to not…my buddy & his newly built pool.

  I have no idea what artfire.com is but it came up in my search result for a pool. Many pools on that site are under $100 for upwards of 48" depth. I am guessing they ship from China since I never see Intex that cheap. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Don't trust artfire.com at all. This is a huge scam site.

  I found this link https://artfire.com in this post, and this URL seems legit. This is just an AI prediction, which may be false positive. If you think my decision is correct please click here, otherwise if you think my decision is wrong click here. Source: almost 3 years ago
