Test Your Prints Before Selling (Avoid Costly Mistakes)

• Not every piece works as a print. Highly textured or layered works may lose their impact when reproduced.
• Always test your print before offering it for sale.
• Order a sample to check color, texture, and overall appearance.
• If the print doesn’t do justice to the original, consider offering it only as mixed media or as the original.

One artist learned this the hard way: she had to rework a print into a mixed-media piece after realizing the print quality wasn’t acceptable — losing both time and money.

Clear Policies: Delivery & Returns

When creating a listing, you’ll see a Delivery section with dropdown menus for your shop policies. You’ll need to select options for:

• Cancellations (e.g., accepted within 24 hours).
• Returns (e.g., accepted within 14 days; buyer pays return postage unless the item is damaged or incorrect).
• Shipping time (how long it typically takes you to dispatch an order).
• Ships to (countries or regions you deliver to).

These policies are displayed on your listing so buyers know exactly what to expect. Clear, written policies build trust, reduce disputes, and make buyers more confident about purchasing.
