An artist can enable one or more sales methods.
A set price is assigned to the work.
Buyers can offer an arbitrary amount for the work. This amount offered can be less than the fixed price if one is set. The artist can accept or reject the offer.
Best offers allow a seller to consider a buyer's reputation, location before commiting to the sale.
The seller configures a work with Accept Best Offers
. This results in a Best Offer
section listed on the work's Detail Page
.
A buyer submits a best offer amount.
The seller receives an email with details of the offer.
The seller responds by accepting, declining, or countering.
The countering process proceeds until the offer is accepted/declined by the peer, cancelled by the offer initiator, or expired due to no response.
Best offers are automatically terminated if the item is sold at a fixed price, auction, or a best offer from another buyer is accepted.
A work can be auctioned, with options to configure start date, end date, and reserve prices.
Several payment methods are supported.
The buyer can pay the venue or artist directly.
