Here it is... a new product announcement...
You can now sell all of your images as tote bags! Even better... you can activate all of your images as tote bags in seconds using our bulk editor:
Click Here to Use the Bulk Editor
Our tote bags are made from soft, durable, poly poplin fabric and include a 1" thick black shoulder strap for easy carrying. Tote bags are available in three different sizes from 13" x 13" up to 18" x 18". Each tote bag is printed on both sides using the same image and can be machine-washed with cold water.
You can buy and sell tote bags on all of our domains (e.g. Pixels.com, FineArtAmerica.com, Instaprints.com), your premium website, your Facebook fan page, and your premium shopping cart widgets.
To start selling tote bags, all you need to do is set your tote bag prices for each of your existing images. You can do that by editing your existing images, individually... or... you can edit all of your existing images, at once, by clicking here.
Best of all, once you've activated your images as tote bags, you can use our new upload / editing interface to go back and make sure that all of your images are perfectly positioned onto each tote bag.
If you have any questions, just let me know.

How long does it take them to show up in the MP? So far I'm still only seeing 23 totes for sale, none of which are mine.
8 Years Ago
Isn't that the exact fabric the pillows used to be? Could we please have the option for either/or poly and cotton on pillows? Totes are a great addition, not trying to take away from that, so thank you for adding them.
8 Years Ago
Great addition - All my images now have the totes up and for sale - Thanks -
Just a note - Is it possible to change the default on the Totes and Duvet Covers to show 13 X 13 totes and Twin size Duvet Covers prices under the icons?
When our customers open an image and look at the icons of available products- they are looking at the higher priced Totes and Duvet costs - Some may get sticker shock and not click on the icon -

"Is it possible to change the default on the Totes and Duvet Covers to show 13 X 13 totes and Twin size Duvet Covers prices under the icons?"
I would like to see the totes set to the smallest size, but not the duvet covers. The twin is too narrow for most of my designs to look good on. They get cropped, so I wouldn't want that to be the buyers first impression. Better yet would be the option for us sellers to to set the default size/style option for each image. :)

The submit button worked! I only have less than 900 images, all done.
It is sure that all the lowest prices are not showing.

Just did it and they look awesome! Love it. So glad the image is at least covering one side. Is it only one side?

I set mine at 7.00, 10.00, and 13.00 dollars. Don't know if that is too much or too little.

Hey Mike - I searched your images on pages 1, 10, 15, 25, 60 and 113 looks like all of your images now have totes for sale

@Karen
When you're in the edit image screen, are you clicking on the edit button directly under the image? This is for uploading a new image to replace the one there, I think.
If you scroll down to each product category, you should be able to customize the image placement of your totes, pillows, etc.
Once done, scroll to the very bottom and click on Submit.
Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Sharon. I will try it....anything! I have done all you said but never see the submit button and I go to the very end of the page. So far, my learning in this whole process has been to stumble and bumble about until I somehow do the right thing. I do not recommend this site to my friends anymore. They know about as much as I do about computers and I value their friendship too much. The aggravation so far as not been worth the tiny return. Not quite at the point of leaving the site for good, but they would probably not lose as many people as they must because of the lack of step-by-step instructions. I just have to leave it alone for a few days, calm down, and then take it on again.

OK....right before I was ready to shoot either the computer or myself, I FINALLY stumbled along and got it right. I now can edit the items and save them. I'm still not entirely sure what I was doing wrong. It may be I didn't scroll far enough down to see the individual items on the edit page. Well, I wrote every single step down, so next time I won't go batty.Thanks for the suggestions and sympathy.

I am so happy to find this discussion! I set my tote bag prices in the Default area and then used Bulk Price change to set up Tote Bags to sell for all of my images. When you look at a 'summary' page for any of my images - the page that shows all of the products that are for sale for that image - it has the price on my Tote Bags as $0. However, when you click on the Tote Bag and bring up the detailed page for ordering one, the price is correct. I set up my Tote Bags many days ago, so the issue on mine is not just a wait for 24 hours to let the dust settle. What do I need to do to get the 'summary' page to show the correct price for my Tote Bags?

I ordered a tote bag last Friday night and it arrived this afternoon. It came in a small mailing package and was also wrapled in plastic when you opened it. The first thing I noticed about the actual bad was the good technical quality of the image. I chose one shot in low light through a glass case, but the image quality was rather impressive. The bag itself is tough and sturdy. I don't worry about its quality. I do wish the straps were a little longer, but my sister says they are fine for her and that's fine since I gave her the bag. All I was very impressed with it and feel safe offering them on joethephotog.com.
Here is the image

I didn't measure them and my sister has already taken custody of the bag, but I would like them a little longer. It seems to me people might have a little trouble putting stuff in the bag when it's on their shoulder

I'm a little concerned that the issue of prices not consistent (and wording) is not being addressed by anyone ! Please, at least, tell us you are working on the issue. Thanks.
8 Years Ago
Did a little more looking around my AW... http://sharon-johnston.artistwebsites.com/art/all/all/all/throw+pillows as an example.
No price shows at all for throw pillows or totes and some images I have only as cards, totes and pillows. I also noticed that the Facebook, Pinterest, etc links don't reflect what is on the FAA site. In addition, I spent considerable amount of time pinning on Pinterest for the last 3 days and some of the images do not reflect that I did.. so I have to repost and then delete one of the posts on Pinterest. I just posted my AW on my FB page and now they don't even show a price. GRRR. Until this is fixed, I better link it back to FAA.
8 Years Ago
Sharon,
What little bit of pinning I've done, I try to do it all from my AW site to hopefully send customers there. If I pin from my AW it doesn't reflect the pin count on the FAA side of the house.
8 Years Ago
That is what I noticed Greg... but a few are.. and I've not pinned from the AW site at all. Until the prices get fixed... I'm not directly sending anyone to my AW... they can't see the prices anyway. Is there really any "real" advantage to sending to AW versus FAA site ? If I send them directly to the page on FAA to buy the product, it is all really the same is it not ?
8 Years Ago
Has there been an answer on the incorrect price showing for totes? I set my prices at $35, $40, and $45, but if you search for my totes they all display a price of $37. This would be confusing to me if I was a customer.

@Sharon your artist website only shows you and your stuff big advantage over FAA or Pixels. Your prices are showing fine on you artist site. Some of your images are too small to be usable.
8 Years Ago
David... all of the images that were too small for prints.. are in fact fine for cards, totes and pillows and show up on my FAA site. They do not show up on on AW. As well, the AW , if you click on totes... will say "print" and the price.. not a tote price.. and that goes for all my images. I don't understand.. my FAA page only shows me and my stuff..
8 Years Ago
David.. the price discrepancy is between the SHOP page and the profile page. One page says one price, the other page another.
8 Years Ago
@Sharon I see what you mean about the shop page where they all show price of 30.00 . It is strange
8 Years Ago
@Sharon
I see what you mean about the pricing discrepancy.
Most of your totes show a price of $28 on the "main" search product page, but some are $22. When I go to the product detail page where I can resize and choose colors, the price is way off, like $12 less.
The same scenario for throw pillows. And your Duvet prices are all over the place!
What would happen if you did a bulk/global price change and blanked out all of the prices on a product. Then did another bulk edit and put in your selling price. Maybe it would reset the glitch in the system?
I don't understand why everyone isn't having this problem. Or maybe we are and haven't bothered to check. I think I'll have a look at my prices now!
8 Years Ago
The search engine always shows the lowest price for the smallest size. For example, it shows you the price for 13" x 13" tote bags. It shows you the price for twin duvet covers... etc.

Hmmm.. well.. I just went back in and my totes now say $18 (yes I'm logged in) so they should say $28 if I am not logged in... Yesterday they were still $30, logged in !
8 Years Ago
@Sean,
Thank you for the reminder! I think we, or at least me, forget that especially when signed in. I logged out and went onto my AW site and all looks good. I checked the other Sharon's site and it was ok, too.
8 Years Ago
@ Sharon.. thanks for that info... a few weeks ago I noted that some of my images had wrong info., some boxes were checked and others weren't... .. so I went back and changed everything... image by image, took me days ! When the totes came along.. I had to reset four times. I had problems with setting prices for my tote gallery and only so many items would have their prices changed. I gave up on that one after about 5 tries. I don't know why some things stick and other things don't but it is pretty frustrating and very time consuming. I'll have to check duvets. Then we have the AW problem. It should all translate to the AW site, but it doesn't.

The announcement looks great, but the image of the tote bag is a broken link in the notification email.
