Pricing tips for artists

Don't forget your time

Artists chronically underprice labor. Your hours have real value — charge at least minimum wage, and work toward a rate that reflects your skill level.

Price for the platform

Factor in all fees before you list. If you set a price and then subtract fees, you're already losing money. Build fees into your floor price.

Raise prices gradually

10–15% increases are rarely noticed by loyal buyers. Raising prices slowly over time is far easier than a sudden jump — and it signals growing value.
