So How Does This Work, People?

Hello.

So i have just signed up to the premium service, this company has taken my bank details for the payment of $30. but they have not requested any details from me ie, my paypal details so when i make a sale they can pay me on the 15th of each month. How does this company actually work in regards to this? I'm starting to feel slightly skeptical about this iste, so could someone put my mind at rest please.

Thanks Julia

Go to : Behind the scenes- accounting -payment information to enter the paypal info. I've been here for a few years and make regular sales and have always gotten paid through paypal on this site with no difficulties. Notice the timeframe though. Due to 30 day money-back guarantee and once a month pay period, if you sell something today you will not get paid until Sept 15.

Yeah, ... do NOT be skeptical, as far as the legitimacy of this place. Even with my measly sales, I have always gotten paid on time.

But, in order to know who and HOW to pay you, .... you have to fill in the required accounting information BEHIND THE SCENES, as Jane S. said.

Go to your Behind the Scenes area - (hover over your name in the corner and you'll see the drop down)
Familiarize yourself with EVERYTHING back there.
Click the buttons and see where they go, put in info where its required, fill in your defaults...etc.

Then Click the HELP tab at the top of the discussions.... bucket loads of FAQs, common threads...etc.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I'm really a dead head with IT so your input has been invaluable.

Have followed your instructions and now have my PayPal account up n running.

Thank you!!!! :-)

Julia;

This site is legit, as said above. Keep in mind that selling is not guaranteed. You have to market your own work. Good descriptions and keywords are a must. You didn't ask for any tips or help, so I'm hesitant to keep typing. But keep in mind that people often like to buy large and the largest size of your work thus far is still pretty small at 1024 pixels. Since you seem to work in the digital realm, do you have larger files to upload.

why would you sign up for premium before reading about the site?

in any case, put your info in behind the scenes. and when you get a sale, you will be paid after the 30day wait.

for now though, you'll need to scan your work in. they are much too small to really print and i think one has a bit of glare. you'll want more keywords and descriptions, you'll have to advertise yourself. you'll need an avatar to be seen in the search.

Thanks to the others, Mike & Joseph, who even though I never asked for the 'tips/advice' you gave, still gave it... even if it were in hesitancy.

As I only signed up to the site late yesterday I haven't had a chance to properly sort through work. So I'm basically learning the ropes & getting comfortable with how things work etc.....

So cheers for the tips, I will sort them all out in time.

If you want your work to sell, Mike and Joseph have given you good advice. Upload your largest files! Don't resize/upsize your images.

You have bought yourself the ability to open a store with unlimited amazing images that people want to purchase. The entire sales process is automated for you. You don't have to worry about collecting money or shipping.

Now the hard part, go out, sell yourself and your images. Good news is you only need a few sales to cover your investment. Bad news is you can't just sit around and wait for it to happen.

Devika. Type in Paypal.com on your address bar and press enter. That will get you to the Paypal home page. Click on "sign up". Take it from there. Learn to recognize what a secure site looks like. You should see a lock symbol at the left of the address bar and the letters https if you are on a secure site.

Hello My names Donna

I just found the site and started to down load some of my paintings. I have few questions if anyone can help me.

How does the actual sale work? How much commission do I receive from the sale. How much more should I mark up my prints? Can I go back in an make changes to the mark up amounts? Do I have to sign up for the premium package in order to sale my prints?
