Yes - that's right! 100% commission free! Unlike other art sites, FineArtAmerica.com does not try to stand between artists and their buyers in order to collect commissions. If a visitor to our site is interested in purchasing one of your originals or prints, the visitor can e-mail you directly from your profile page.
If you end up completing a sale - that's great! We call this a "do-it-yourself" transaction. It is your responsibility to handle the entire transaction on your own (i.e. collecting payment, packaging, shipping, etc.), but you also get to keep all of the money!
If you would like FineArtAmerica.com to act as an escrow service (i.e. collecting payment from the buyer before you ship the artwork), we'll do that for free as well!
If you would like FineArtAmerica.com to produce your prints for you and handle all aspects of your business transactions (e.g. collecting payment, printing, framing, matting, packaging, shipping, etc.), we offer a very popular print on demand service which generates thousands of dollars of income for many of our members each year!
Register for our popular print-on-demand program and sell prints of your artwork on paper or stretched canvas with thousands of frame and mat combinations. Simply upload your images, set your print prices, and start selling!
When you upload an image, our system will tell you which print sizes are available based on the size of your image. The larger your image, the larger we can print! For each available print size, you get to specify how much you want to charge for that size (e.g. $50 for a 8" x 10", $75 for a 16" x 20", etc.). The prices that you specify are exactly how much you'll earn when someone buys one of your prints. Plus, you can earn even more (read next section).
When a customer decides to purchase one of your prints, we take care of everything to finalize the order, including:
1. processing credit cards via our secure shopping cart
2. printing your image on paper or canvas
3. stretching it on stretcher bars (if applicable)
4. framing it and matting it (if applicable)
5. protecting it with glazing (if applicable)
6. packaging it and shipping it!
On the 15th of each month, you receive payment from FineArtAmerica.com via check or PayPal for all of the orders that you received during the previous month.
When someone orders one of your prints, that someone will almost certainly select a frame, mat, or other accessory to go along with the print. You will earn a 10% commission on all accessories that are selected!
As an example, let's assume that a visitor to FineArtAmerica.com decides to purchase a 24" x 24" print of your artwork for $50 (i.e. $50 is the price that you set). Let's also assume that the visitor has selected a $100 frame and a $25 mat to go along with the print. The buyer would pay $175 for the order ($50 + $100 + $25), and your earnings on this sale would be $50 + $10 + $2.50 = $62.50. That's $50 for the print plus a 10% commission on the frame and a 10% commission on the mat. You'll also earn 10% on the price of the paper and any assembly charges (not discussed in this example for the sake of simplicity).
This is our way of thanking you for doing business with FineArtAmerica.com!
