I've tried to sell prints on ebay with no success.

There is an artist in my studio group that sells all the time on ebay. I think she may even have an ebay store. BUT... She spends hours a day working this. The paintings she sells are usually small and she starts her bidding at .99 but has some things sell for over $100. She also belongs to several other online art groups and so is making a name for herself several ways on the net.

On the flipside, I gave ebay a try with my artwork in the past. I sold some prints... made a few dollars on a few, lost a few dollars on a few. Some people I told about my prints couldn't find them listed when they were. It's definitely something that takes a lot of time and knowledge to really make it successful.

Going to check out your art now, Niki. Good luck!

If you are looking to sell your artwork online, a good role model (if you will) would be a girl named Valentina, AKA ValsArtDiary on YouTube. Her website ( http://valsartdiary.com/ ) has a section called "Art Tips" where she tells you how she got started marketing herself online. Basically, what she does is videos herself creating a painting each week, posts the video online, and then auctions that painting on Ebay.

A lot of my artist friends sell on ebay, but I've never tried. I do mostly digi art now, so I sell prints through Zazzle and deviantArt, though ebay and etsy are what peoplel use alot to sell orginals.
