Art & Object Marketplace

Simple business model

List as many items as you wish. Prices are always displayed for a transparent customer experience. We find the buyers and facilitate secure transactions. Payouts occur twice a month

Flexible shipping options

We partnered with Arta, a specialist in shipping art. There are three shipping options:

Self-ship, Arta Label: Customer pays for shipping at checkout. Arta provides a label and arranges the carrier. You pack the item, label it, and drop off the shipment at the carrier's nearest location.
Deluxe: Customer pays for shipping at checkout. Arta picks up the shipment, packages it, and ships it.
Free Shipping: Include shipping fees in the item price. You pack, label and ship the item with a carrier of your choice.

Cost-effective, transparent fees

We charge 15% commission on every item sold. There is also an additional 2.97% credit card processing fee and $0.40 cent charge for the tax calculation. No takedown fees. We currently do not charge subscription fees.

Easy-to-use inventory management

It's easy to create a detailed product listing with up to 5 images by using our 'Add Art' page. We also accept bulk uploads if your inventory data is recorded in a spreadsheet.
