Do you know about E-Commerce/Dropship Sites?

Hi, I'm from Argentina and I work with Mercado Libre. The thing with Mercado Libre is that when I want to sell a painting sometimes people cancel the request or send back the product. That will make me waste money in materials. In this context here is my question.
Do you know any way that I can expose photos of my paintings to sell online (Adult content of course, gay, hunks, chubbies). Then a client clicks on order or buy, so they send me money, then I start to work and I send the painting and other stuff. My point is to give the clients the security they will get the product, and to me that they wont cancel any request. It has to work with a dropshiping. But I want it to not allow them to return it. -
@perro2492 Have you tried selling on your "own" site like Mercado Shops or Shopify.

e-commerce platforms are at the mercy of the buyer (since they pay for platform maintenance though transaction fees,) sellers are on the lesser-end of the spectrum when it comes to platform power. The idea of a return always being an option will make a buyer feel secure in a transaction and keep them coming back (buyers = cash cow for e-commerce platforms) -- because they (buyers) don't feel they take on any risk when they decide to purchase. Since the seller lacks the power to enforce a policy like no returns (or a final sale,) you might find a better time selling high-ticket items under a contract, i.e: freelance contracted art, participating in local art auctions, or being listed in a local art gallery, where an art enthusiast would like to purchase from you directly.

I'm not sure if Etsy is popular in Latin America, but it's a very popular website for handmade things, you can sell your stuff on there, that's their return policy:
Sellers aren’t required to accept returns, exchanges, or provide a refund unless stated in the return policy on their listing.
If the seller is willing to accept this return, be sure to settle on the details in a message before returning the item.
