Unfortunately, I do not cancel orders. This is largely due to the fact that PayPal fees are non-refundable, so issuing a refund costs sellers more than what they actually received when payment was made. Please ensure your interest in an item before making your purchase. In isolated circumstances, I may be willing to make an exception, assuming you send me an additional non-refundable PayPal payment to cover my costs in issuing the refund. However, this can be time consuming for both of us, and costly to you, so the best rule of thumb is to ensure your interest before making a purchase.

The best way to answer this question is to contact me directly to ask about the status of a specific item. In general, I do not sell pirated items (exact replicas of copyrighted material) or illegally produced items. I do sell "unauthorized" music which is legal to sell according to "fair use" statutes. This includes things like remixes where a copyrighted work is used to create a new work. This type of material is legal to produce and sell, as long as a "significant change" is made to the original copyrighted work. On the other hand, much of the music I sell is completely authorized (this is why it is best to contact me to ask about the status of a particular item). In regards to the art I sell, it is all authorized by the artist (or other party legally permitted to make print editions). However, some of it is "fan art," meaning that it is not authorized by the individual or group depicted in the image. For example, a certain artist may paint an image of a particular celebrity and make a print run of that image without the celebrity's explicit permission, and that may be something I would sell. However, I would not sell an unauthorized reproduction of that image (meaning a print edition that was made without the artist's - or other authorized party's - approval). "Fan art" does not include "stealing" an authorized image. For example, it may include an artist creating an original image for a well-known film, but would not include that artist (without permission) printing an existing movie poster that is owned by the movie company. As with the unauthorized music, not all of the art I sell is "fan art," and plenty of it is authorized by both the artist and the entity being depicted. Again, this is why questions about the authenticity of a specific item are best dealt with by messaging me about a particular item.
