I pay $16 a month for ejunkie at the moment as I have a lot of art for sale on my website (if you have fewer items it is quite a bit less). Either way – it’s a trivial amount. I’m not sure I’d consider that “bogged down”.
I believe in making decisions based on where I want to be not where I am. If you want to remain someone selling a small amount – you probably will remain there. I like to THINK BIG!

Susan,
That is correct, the “collecting money” part of running an online business requires research and a lot of time and work to pull it all together.
Fortunately we have wonderful folks like Alyson to give us tips to make it easier.
I also believe in hiring people to help whenever needed. If you want to sell your art online, you can hire people to help you set this all up.
Using only galleries is certainly an option, although finding those galleries and maintaining a good relationship with them isn’t easy either.
Artists that sell their art are also business owners. The more efficient we are at running our business & hiring out when needed, the more time we have to create art.

Susan: You’re kidding, right? A gallery doesn’t manage your business. They will make the sales, but only YOU manage your business.

You guys have to help me out here…in reading the info on E-Junkie site, they seem to say that you also have to have a PayPal, Google Checkout, Authorize.Net, etc., accounts. So I am more confused than before.
Tell me if I have this anything close to right…I have to have my business bank account, connect it to PayPal (or similar), then use something like E-Junkie???
I think I’m seeing the attraction of having a gallery or someone to manage all the business and selling represent me the artist so that I can paint…which I haven’t done in a while trying to understand how to set all this up *q*
Let me read more about acquiring gallery representation…..

Lauren, because I am a complete novice in this matter, tell me which is which: is it paypal or shopping carts that bog you down with monthly payment fees? Thanks everyone for the awesome advice/suggestions/personal experiences!

Yes, E-junkie is great! We’ve used them for selling various ebooks in the past and are moving into selling artwork using them. With all the regular hassles of running a website, it’s nice to use their intuitive and user-friendly interface. Especially good for “non-techies!”

Thanks so much for sharing about E-junkie! I have wanted an easy way to sell items on my own web site that I don’t necessarily want to sell in my Etsy shop, and have it feel professional and business-like from the customer’s perspective. The PayPal buttons just didn’t seem to do it. I will be looking into this!

I guess it would also depend on whether yo want to be boggled down by monthly payment fees or prefer to have a payment button on your website. Also, if you are not selling a lot of items, having a payment button would be sufficient. For merchants who have a tonne of stuff to sell, it would be better that they use a proper shopping cart.
