Since you don't have an agreement with the scam stores for them to sell on your behalf, you don't have to fulfill the orders. It's very kind of you to do so, but doing that work stopping you from using that time to make money you deserve. I'm sorry that happened. You can explain in a form email to people that the stores have no legal right to represent you and it's their job to fulfill the order or refund the money, not yours. One thing you can do is heavily watermark your images, covering the artwork, with the phrase "only sold here" then an official url – or a similar watermark that makes it difficult for scammers. That way scammers can't easily reuse the images and people seeing the images can go directly to your store. Use your Facebook page to make people aware of the scammers and ask your fans to report scam ads to Facebook. It's so sad what scammers do to artists, but people who follow you will help out.

Hi. I'm Anna's sister Xenia. We read your comment)). Now Anna is constantly engaged in the creation of new toys. As soon as the situation with the implementation of orders will be adjusted - the orders will be accepted again! And of course we are looking for ways to prevent the recurrence of this unpleasant situation. Can be something will advise? We will write about it on instagram and on all pages! Thank you again for your subscription, for your support.

Exceptional talent! However, for your own sanity (as a fellow artist) - I know it pains you, but you really just need to tell the people that were scammed what happened. In no way, shape or form should you be held accountable for someone else's fraud, Selling your artworks for $20 would be akin to someone expecting to pay 5 bucks to have a new bathtub installed. Your time is valuable - never undervalue it! :) Much love and the best of luck from Canada!
