At Myretroposter, every poster we create is the result of countless hours of artistic work, travel, editing, and passion. Unfortunately, as our popularity grows, so do the attempts to steal our work. We’ve recently discovered that some of our designs are being offered online by unauthorized sellers or fraudulent websites. This article is here to help you identify real vs. fake listings and understand why it's so important to buy only from official sources.
1. Our Posters Are Only Sold on Myretroposter.com and Through Approved Partners We want to make it clear: our art prints are only available on our official website (myretroposter.com), in our Sitges gallery, and in a small selection of trusted boutiques that are clearly identified on our channels. If you see one of our posters on another platform at an unusually low price, it is not an authorized listing.
Buying from unknown sellers means taking a risk: not only are these listings illegal, but you may never receive anything, or worse, get a low-quality copy that disrespects the art and misleads buyers.
2. Why It Matters: Counterfeiting Hurts Artists and Customers When you buy from unauthorized sites:
-
You encourage networks that steal from artists and mass-produce without any quality control.
-
You often pay for a product that is never shipped, or shipped with poor materials, wrong sizes, pixelated images, or folded in envelopes.
-
You lose the guarantee of quality: our posters are printed on demand with museum-grade inks and archival paper, in 8 sizes and limited editions.
Our pricing reflects the care and craftsmanship that go into each piece. We never offer heavy discounts or flash sales, because our work is not stock-clearing merchandise — it's printed one by one, especially for you.
If you see a poster sold at one-third of our price or less, it’s not a bargain — it's a scam.
3. How to Spot a Counterfeit Listing Some tips to recognize fraudulent or fake websites:
-
The poster is offered at a suspiciously low price (often under 15€ or 20€).
-
The site looks generic or hosts thousands of random products.
-
There’s no clear artist attribution, no detailed product info, or fake reviews.
-
The titles or descriptions are poorly translated.
-
The checkout page doesn’t mention shipping origin or customer support.
-
Even if the seller uses our names, collection titles, or links to our real pages, it doesn’t mean they are authorized. This is a common trick used by counterfeit platforms to appear trustworthy.
If you’re ever in doubt, please send us a message with the link. We’ll gladly tell you if the seller is legitimate.
4. A Reminder of What You Get When Buying from Us
-
Posters printed on demand, with high-end archival paper and inks.
-
Limited editions (300 copies only), created by Alecse and Cha, not mass-produced.
-
Secure checkout, proper packaging, and worldwide shipping.
-
Access to original formats, collector editions, framing options, and new releases.
You support independent art. You get what you pay for. And most importantly, you receive the real thing.
Conclusion If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Our posters are never heavily discounted or sold below value. They are printed to order, not dumped on shady discount platforms. Protect your walls, your money, and the artists you love: buy responsibly.
Thank you for helping us keep art alive and authentic.
