Artists, Gear & Apparel

Your buyer cannot hold the thing, so your listing must. Size, material, fit and lead time do the work of a showroom.

General guidance. Fields marked "where enabled" may not appear in your account.

#Before you start

  • Photos you took or have rights to use.
  • Measurements of the finished item.
  • A clear stock count.

#Steps

  1. Pick the type: a single print is a Simple Products listing; sizes or colours need Variable Products.
  2. State dimensions, materials and colour.
  3. For originals, say original, and set stock to exactly one.
  4. For prints, state edition and paper.
  5. For gear, state condition. For apparel, give fit information.
  6. Set a fulfilment or custom lead time.
  7. Enter weight, dimensions and shipping details. Physical goods are not virtual. See Orders, Shipping & Payouts.
  8. If digital files are enabled, state the format and confirm you hold the download rights.

#Example: framed trout print

A variable listing:

Brook trout watercolour print on cotton paper in 8 x 10 and 11 x 14. Open edition. Packed flat. Ships in 5 business days. The original painting is listed separately with stock of one.

#Images and rights

Use only images you own or are authorised to use.

#Troubleshooting

I sell a one-off piece.

Set stock to one so it cannot oversell.
