Original Post: Introducing Zero Sales Commissions with PayPal

ArtWanted.com is excited to announce that we will no longer be charging commission fees on original artwork you sell on our site! If you have a PayPal account, simply add your PayPal e-mail address into your ArtWanted.com profile to take advantage of this new program.

If someone is interested in buying your artwork, and you have a PayPal account in our system, when the user clicks on the ORDER button for that item, they will be directed to YOUR PayPal account instead of the ArtWanted.com shopping cart. This means you get 100% of the sales price and ArtWanted.com does not take the normal 15% commission on the sale of the artwork!

We made this change to encourage additional sales through our website and to put more money in the pockets of our members. This is the first of many changes we will be doing to our site over the next few months to increase artwork sales for our members. Enjoy!

*** IMPORTANT NOTES ***

  • If you get a sale directly into your PayPal account, ArtWanted.com will not know about it. It's important that you contact the buyer thanking them for the purchase and providing a tracking number (where possible) when shipping out the artwork. You are responsible for shipping out the item and working out any other details directly with the buyer.

  • This zero commission program only applies to artwork sales where you are doing the fulfillment. It does not apply to the ArtWanted.com print program, which has not changed.

  • To add your PayPal e-mail address to your profile, click on the EDIT CONTACT INFORMATION link in your members area and add your PayPal e-mail to the appropriate form field.

  • This zero commission program only applies to new artwork sales made after 1/25/06 when the user does not use the ArtWanted.com shopping cart or merchant account. Normal commission fees will be applied if the buyer uses the ArtWanted.com payment process.

  • If you have artwork for sale that you will be shipping out, you can list those items for sale on the EDIT IMAGE page or when you upload the original image.

  • If you don't already have a PayPal account, click here to sign up and start the process of putting more money in your pocket.
