GLOBAL ART TRADERS - AUCTIONs, by Global Art Traders on Nov 12, 2015 20:29:01 GMT 1, Hi Posterbob - it is an extra service we offer to members - its a new service, it functions well and the format is good. We cannot force people to not put a reserve or tell them what their reserve should be - this is no different to other sites. However, we will introduce estimates which should help and give advice to members. If you have any suggestions to improve it, then please feel free to let us know. You can send us PM.

Your site charges more...eBay is 10% and it caps out at $750USD.

GLOBAL ART TRADERS - AUCTIONs, by Matt on Nov 12, 2015 20:53:25 GMT 1, It probably does not help 1) that you are initially a catalogue site for (mostly) professional galleries mostly unwilling to take a gamble on valuable stock 2) that your auction looks like haphazard eBay listings, but your fees are closer to well (enough) curated Paddle 8 type auctions
Don't think you can be both whether it is from the buyer or seller point of view.
Will be intersting to see where you take this next though, and you can't be blamed for trying something

GLOBAL ART TRADERS - AUCTIONs, by Global Art Traders on Nov 12, 2015 22:01:51 GMT 1, Hi Matt, thanks for the comments. Personally, i don't think it looks like a haphazard ebay listing, don't know what you mean by that. It is easy to read and basically looks like a standard listing but in auction format. It's a totally different concept to ebay, and also a different concept to normal auction platforms. It basically works alongside our regular listing service and enables galleries and artists (and indeed collecting members) to list something on auction. It is as simple as that really. We don't charge sellers a final value fee like ebay and buyers can judge whether the 12 % in final value fee is worth it when bidding. We really just want to offer another service to our members and feel the system we have created is of benefit to out members and website viewers! We will tweak it and try to improve it for everyone as time goes alone.
We do appreciate the comments and a lot of the improvements have come about by listening to our members comments and comments from forums like this.
best Regards, David

Sorry David, haphazard was a poor choice of words. What I meant was that it was a a list of works that your clients want to auction rather than a curated catalog (although the curation of certain a auction houses may be found debatable but that is another question).

GLOBAL ART TRADERS - AUCTIONs, by Poster Bob on Nov 12, 2015 23:03:19 GMT 1, I would say it is audacious at best. Why pay 12% when you can list something on Ebay for pennies and arrange an off-site sale?

GLOBAL ART TRADERS - AUCTIONs, by Global Art Traders on Nov 18, 2015 15:15:38 GMT 1, Thanks to everyone for your comments. Just to let you know that starting bids are now displayed on all listings and estimates have been added to all current auction listings, and will be displayed on all future auction listings.
There is also a Banksy NBG GREEN currently on auction with NO RESERVE if anyone is interested.
Thanks again

GLOBAL ART TRADERS - AUCTIONs, by lifeonwalls on Dec 3, 2015 17:30:18 GMT 1, Out of curiosity- what happens if the seller just decides they don't like the final price? I mean no reserve is great in theory but certainly ways around it unless the print already in the hands of a independent 3rd party?
