1. Master card and Visa credit card transaction capability for the selling of the artist's work on the site.
2. A biography page on the artist and a page(s) for a gallery of the artist's work. (Up to 10 items without additional charge) (A charge will be incurred at a rate of $5/month for each additional lot of 10 items.)

If the item is sold within 30 days of de-listing the item the commission applies.
2. The artist is responsible for the delivery of the artwork to the client.
