If you're like me, you love to buy art.  And in my city, I've pretty much visited every retail art store in a 20 mile radius.  The next step was to buy art online.  At first thought, it was very hesitant.  I figured, if I could be dooped into buying jake jeans on sites like Ebay or Craigslist, than how do I know if my artwork is real or not?

It's important to do your due dilligence when buying art online.  Although sites like Ebay are very well known, they are still riddled with scammers selling fake items, especially art.  Sites like OnlineArtCafe.com is run similarly to Ebay, except you can actually reach out and touch the owners if needed.  What a breath of fresh air!

Online Art Cafe only sells artwork as described.  If the artwork is not orginal it must be noted in the listing.  The owners of the shop go through checks and balances to ensure the quality of the work and ensure the buyer gets exactly what they're looking for.

If you're looking to buy or sell art online, I would emplor you to check out Online Art Cafe.  Not only will you get what you're looking for from an honest retailer, but you will be helping out a small competitor of the giants like Ebay and Amazon.
