Getting sued or arrested is really rare, mostly what people get is take down notices and the majority of people comply with that.

Legal action is very expensive and even for big companies with a lot of money it's not worth the time unless someone is making a ridiculous amount of profit or competing directly with the company or in some rare cases, if they piss off the company somehow.

That's not to say fan creators who sell shouldn't be wary, but outside of the law and specifically at conventions there's kind of an understanding of what to do and not to do regarding selling fanwork. Most companies generally will not make a fuss about it, especially since many artists under their employ even sell fanart themselves.
