Being ripped off is why I quit selling my large abstract painting on e bay. I personally wasn't, but many others were. Nasty characters from another county (I won't name it here) snagged others work, then they mass produce it like paint-by-number assembly line work...and market it at low, low, low prices. It ran me off! I couldn't compete with all the look alike fake art flooding the category. Such a shame! But somehow they get away with it. I personally lost anywhere from $1000-$2000 a month income because of it.
