The seller, guada07, BOCA RATON FL, United States:
NICE WILFREDO LAM.
This magnificent painting (OIL ON YUTE - CANVAS) is signed "W.Lam", represent abstract figures. This work of art is unframed - very good condition. This piece was bought in state sale. I don't have certificates of papers but the painting look old and I can guarantee this is a hand painting work of art. not print. Look the picture of the back. Measures: 30.5" x 24.5".

artfakes.dk:
This wall-hanging has nothing to do with an original Wifredo Lam.
Give it away to the Salvation Army!

There is a quote on the front for a Mary Cassatt pencil sketch. The piece also comes acid free matted, and framed with UV glass.

The seller, likeschool, Korea, South:
Rare Degas Charcoal drawing of a Dancer.
History/Provenance: The work comes with Provenance(Private Collection/Belgium) but no COA(Certificate of Authentcity).
This is the letter from the previous owner:
"Hello, thank you for your mail. Sorry but my english is poor.I have no COA but I know the provenance of the drawing. My great-father liked +++ art and the artists and took many trips. He bought this beautifull drawing in Scotland, in a gallery (Gifford and Mair) at the beginning of the century (20th).This gallery doesn't exist any more. I received some drawings when my father died. I have no time and no money to make expertise, but it is an old and wonderful drawing, and I think it is an original. I hope to buy it to a private people and not to a gallery."

artfakes.dk:
Just another great story-teller.

One more falsification by the fake seller, goldielox2, United States of America:
This original colored graphite drawing signed Picasso, is one of a number of paintings and drawings that will be offered for auction on ebay. Not a lithograph or print of any kind. There is no reason to go on about this great artist.......... Pablo Picasso. The drawing measures 8.95 inches in height and 12.75 inches in width. The paper is slightly yellowed with age, however the drawing is in overall excellent condition, and has been kept unframed for many years. This work, as well as a number of other works of varied artists, has come to me via my parents and grandparents. Grandfather was Russian born and traveled extensively as a violinist, and concertmeister for ballets, etc. There were many stories of him traveling and working with famous artists and musicians. As a practical matter this drawing is offered... As is, with no paperwork, and will go to the highest bidder....do your own research before bidding, as all auction results are final. No reserve, bid with confidence.

Mr. Goldberg otherwise known as goldielox2 (how come I don't feel a sense of "gildness" here?) is in full swing selling grandpa's false paintings. His grandfather, Joseph Goldberg, was born 1881 in Russia. He died in the U.S.A. in 1946.
