I just started my own store on my website due to covid and am still learning. One thing for listeners is to take a look at the tax issue. I don’t think it’s quite as hard as it sounds. This is what I learned from my research and I would love to be corrected if I’m wrong! I live in Washington so I do deal with sales taxes and yes, every area has a different tax level. However if you are selling out of state and do not have a physical presence in that state (store- not a gallery that just represents you), you only pay sales taxes to that state if you are doing over $100,000 worth of business in that state. So yes there was a law passed but it applies more to larger businesses (but if you are bringing in that much from out of state as an artist- then keep rocking it!) I use squarespace and it was easy to expand my site to include a sales page. It also gave me the option to include tax for any states I needed, so I set it up to charge tax in Washington. I used my own area tax rate which is around 8.6% and is on the lower sided for Washington. That means that someone from Seattle gets a 2% discount. I end up paying the difference when I calculate my quarterly taxes but it’s easier than trying to charge people for each area. I don’t have lots of local business so it’s easy to manage the quarterly taxes by hand.

My prices are the same no matter where the work is sold. This is indeed for ethical reasons. I didn’t remember saying that I sold a 24×30 inch piece for $2500. I can tell you that I have a tough time remembering prices and sizes on the fly. That’s why I usually have to tell potential buyers that I will get back to them with prices if we are simply speaking, and I don’t have my inventory in front of me. You are welcome to look at my website to see my prices. Thanks for listening to the podcast.

I’ve also been wondering about adding prices to my website, so this podcast was particularly helpful.I’m curious if Lynn’s pricing is the same for online sales as it is through her gallery, or if she deducts for not having to pay a commission to a gallery. I would assume for ethical reasons, she keeps her pricing the same. So, I definitely don’t mean to be rude, but that means a 24×30 for 2500 is priced a bit on the low side. Does Lynn counter this by painting quickly and having a lot of inventory always on hand? Regardless, 18 paintings online in 3 months? Impressive!!
