One never knows. You might get lucky, and do okay or even quite well.

That said, at least from a general standpoint, I would describe the decision to sell a limited edition Banksy screenprint on eBay as ill-advised foolishness.

What you own has become a fine art luxury item. And within your target market (i.e. the pool of potential bidders with significant disposable income, who are willing to compete against each other for your print), a significant proportion pays zero attention to eBay. [It therefore puzzles me that a couple of other forum members have 'liked' your post, because doing so could be seen to suggest they agree with your approach.]



Sounds as if you were talking to the wrong auction houses. Or just weren't negotiating hard enough on the level of the seller's commission.

You may also have placed excessive focus on the percentages payable to the seller — when it would have been wiser instead to try to estimate the net amount you'd probably end up with, depending on the selling platform.

And so, yes, 1% is of course a lower selling-fee percentage than, say, 10%. But when determining the different likely net sale proceeds, query which option would normally be more interesting to the owner of an artwork:

(a)  a winning bid of £14,000, less 1% to eBay; or

(b)  a not-unreasonable hammer price of £18,000*, less 10% to the auction house (where there is the additional safety net of choosing a reserve price).


A gallery consignment would also have been a very viable (and in my view preferable) alternative to eBay.



As a trivial aside, for a shorter and cleaner eBay link than yours above, delete everything from the first question mark onwards:

I follow lots of artists on eBay as pretty much all savvy collectors do.

I love ebay no reserve auctions and I hope your sale does well! The free shipping is a good idea which should help
