How do sellers get paid?

Art buyers deal directly with the seller and payments are made via the configured payment methods setup by the seller.

Currently Wonder Art offers 4 payment methods, these are:
1. PayPal (includes payment by credit card)
2. Bank Transfer
3. Cheque or Post Order
4. Cash on Delivery

The seller can choose what payments to install (from the list above) when setting up their store.

PayPal
PayPal™ is an online payment processing company widely used on the Internet to facilitate sales transactions, including credit card payments. You might think of PayPal as a big credit card machine. They will "run" your card for the seller. The seller will never see your credit card number. Wonder Art is not affiliated with or subsidised by PayPal.

Bank Transfer, Cheque or Post Order and Cash on Delivery
These payment methods are made offline and are arranged between the buyer and seller. This can be done through email or the Wonder Art message system.

Delivery
Similarly to payment methods, delivery methods are configured by the seller in the administration backend. Costs associated to these methods are also setup here.

Can I customize my store and showcase?
Yes. You can customise your showcase, just upload the showcase header and footer image at the right size through your admin control panel. You can give your store a descriptive title, and enter announcements that will show up just beside your avatar. All of these are optional.
