Don't buy ANYTHING from this site. They are FULL of scammers. I tried to purchase 2 Apple TV's and found that it was a scammer in China. I used PayPal. I opened a claim to get my money back and the scammer even went so far to provide PayPal false UPS tracking information. PayPal came to the rescue after I had them call UPS. Again - Don't buy anything on this site and SHAME on Artfire for being a storefront for criminals.

Total scam
Total scam. I ordered a laptop and its been 3 weeks and I never received it nor a confirmation that it was being shipped. Then when I contact artfire they claim that there is no such vendor on their site and I need to contact the vendor by the "bogus",email they send. Even PayPal is complacent in it because they say it was delivered but the tracking number they are using is bogus too.

Avoid this site
Avoid this site. Why PayPal still is attached to this site is a mystery. If you get scammed, file a complaint with PayPal if that is the payment site you use as they should vet their associates better. Spread the word.

I was scammed
I was scammed. Ordered something never received it. Couldn’t get a response so I disputed the charge. To which I was told the seller showed tracking information and a delivery receipt! It was a fake tracking info and PayPal refused to reverse it! I am so mad I got scammed by artfire.com

CRIMINALS AND THIEVES AND SCAMMERS!!!!
Hi, I have been waiting for 2 months to hear from someone and no one responds. I got an email saying they would reach out in 2 to 3 business days and it's been 5 weeks and I haven't heard from anyone. I paid 100.00 for a bike for my son that we never received and the seller never responds. I have reached out to Artfire many times and get nowhere. This is extremely unprofessional. At this point I just want my money back. I will never do business with this company again. Terrible experience. Shame on you all. If I could give zero stars I would. I still haven't heard from your hired thief. You don't care if the sellers steal from the customers. I hope you all go out of business ASAP!!

Clearly a criminal enterprise
I'll only add to what is already clear evidence that this is a glossy front for illegal activity. I too was had. Along with many others, found that the tracking number was bogus(it was legit, but not for my address-per USPS), the email given by the seller dissapears after your order is confirmed, and lastly there never was a product to sell you. PayPal is complicent in this activity....they respond to the bogus tracking ID by stating the seller informed them with evidence that the package was delivered. Only it's not your package and it wasn't delivered to you.
First, now that you've been on their site, reset your Chrome browser to original state in the settings. I can't address other browser resets, but I recommend it. You most likely have a redirect and a cookie on your system that watches your every inquiry and will send you to Artfire at every chance. From the PayPal community, with many complaints re: this site and how it's ignored by PayPal.........
"It's a pretty sophisticated operation. First, they plant a tracking cookie to follow you around while you search online. They capture information about a big ticket product you've search for and post an image of that product along with meta data (descriptions, specs., ect.) on a product page of a fake online store-- and offer that product at a fraction of actual retail cost. The contact information posted on that fake store uses random legit US addresses and phone numbers. The phone number will always be busy, the result of also having been hacked, stolen from one of the cellular carriers.
The missing piece is how they get the newly created fake product page ranked so that you easily find it at the top subsequent google searches.
I know this sounds almost too elaborate to be true, maybe you're wondering why would a hacker go to such lengths for each individual theft. The reality is, this is all automated, it's done programmatically. Using sophisticated cookie and site scraping technology, these dynamic fake product pages can be spun up instantaneously without literally lifting a finger. "
