Greetings rudiment beasts. Is anyone selling their photographic art on ebay? If you have could you share any experience or suggestions.

I am considering opening an ebay store for aluminum/metal prints and perhaps some other products.

Pete

For me eBay takes to big a % for what they provide. Plus they double dip and get even more, because eBay also owns Paypal.

In the interest of actually answering the OP's question, I can state that one PhotoCamel members has an Etsy store for selling his prints. I have no idea if that's better or worse. I don't get the impression that prints ever sell particularly well online.

I've had some photo commerce in eBay. I find it works very well and I've always been satisfied with the price I got (even on no reserve auctions) and the entire process.

For those who find the fees excessive (I do not), you can always sell to various wholesalers such as KEH.

KEH buys photographic art? He's asking about selling prints not photographic equipment.
