Remember the golden rule, folks: every accusation is a confession.

I wish the article specified whether downloadable images of pizza actually sold for thousands of dollars or whether they were simply listed for that much. Like I can put my toenail clippings up on eBay with a $1000 price tag but it doesn't mean people are buying them.

Holy shit this is such a pet peeve of mine.

Go to "completed listings," you tool.

Art is used for money laundering. Digital art on Etsy is just a new incarnation of something people have been doing for a long time.

If I owe you a $1000 for drugs you fronted me, I'd buy your clippers, eBay would take a cut, and your money is now laundered.
