My sale on Artmajeur was smooth. Successful sales are always very welcome J. I have been paid by PayPal – which is the primary payment method on my Artmajeur account. After the client had made the transaction through Paypal I have written an e-mail to him to arrange the shipping details.
The image management system on Artmajeur is very simple and convenient to work with. I have never tracked precise time consumption, but it doesn‘t take more than a few hours per week for me to administer my Artmajeur account and profile. Usually, I skip most of the available tips on my account, but the ones I used had been very informative and helpful. I would recommend Artmajeur to any painter. Actually, I have already recommended it to some of my artist friends.
I have got followers on Artmajeur from many different countries. It is a real pleasure to see what a wide international access Artmajeur gallery opens to my art. I think the international art market is the primary aim for any artist, that‘s why I find it very important to me.
From my point of view - the best thing about Artmajeur is the direct connection between a customer and an artist. I think most of the customers appreciate this and find it convenient. It does encourage art buyers and artists to communicate with each other. I would compare it with a local market, where you can get to know a producer of the product (a piece of cheese becomes even tastier when you meet a person it has been made by – a real man, not some kind of a machine...) It applies to all kinds of relationships between customers and suppliers/providers. If opinion, advice, or any kind of information is available from the first source – this is the place I choose to buy products or services from.
There are some shades to be careful about in a process of selling your art on the internet. Fortunately, I don‘t have many practices with pitfalls. But I know that the first thing to avoid is unclarity and obscurity. My rule is never to rush. If in doubt – ask for assistance from those who have more practice. The deal can not look too complicated, if it does – there is something wrong with it. All proper agreements are simple and absolutely clear to both sides. I would encourage the artist not to avoid dealing with a client – just work with confidence and rely on your own intuition. Anyway, there is no such thing as insurance in all cases in the world.
