Select "base plus 20%" option to start. If you see sales, you may increase this amount later.

Q12 : Can you clarify and maybe provide an example with a dollar amount on how the pricing works (in terms of how much I receive)?
If the default price of a print is $100 and you have selected "Base plus 20%" as pricing level, we will display $120 as the price, and you will receive $10 + $20 as commission. (10% of the base price and 20% commission).

Q13 : Do you have any recommendations for what to put on my gallery profile?
You may find it useful to introduce yourself to viewers by providing some background information, describing your art practice and processes, and indicating your areas of specialization or interest. Use a descriptive title for each artwork to give viewers a better idea of the piece, and to make your work more easily searchable on the internet.
