For this sale, the transaction was simple because the person lived in my area, and I was already in contact with them via my Facebook. I contented myself with verifying the address and the identity given. For another sale, last year, whose client was in Italy, there was on the other hand a part of the money paid in advance.
I spend a lot of time at one time and then I let the account rest for a while. I find it difficult to have other rhythms, for the time being. The system is clear and fluid.
Yes, the international side of Artmajeur is important in the sense that an Italian client contacted me without me having had any prior communication to do in this regard. Afterwards, having recently returned to artistic approaches, it is still too early for me to be able to give a very detailed feedback on this point.
Whatever the artistic field, the direct relationship must take on more and more importance. Fewer intermediaries and more human relationships, that's what we're heading towards, not only for the plastic arts but also for music, theatre...
My advice
Be very careful with eMails from fake customers, some net scammers try to make you believe things. They claim to want to buy a work, then finally need money to pay such costs or need your confidential information...
Finally, on the Internet as in real and material life, be in the movement: get information, make contacts, initiatives, get moving!
