Perhaps it could be said that after the question

Do you also buy artwork? (Of course, this type of presentation of artwork is the worst way to sell and present art or artwork by an artist or owner of an artwork!)

Buying and selling artwork internationally on Amazon

Questions related to the sale of artworks on Amazon and reputable international sites are asked daily to the support department of Iranian Art Holding, and this has encouraged us to prepare this educational article.

International buying and selling of artwork on Amazon USA

First, we would like to explain to you the steps of artistic collaboration with Amazon and examine the strengths and weaknesses of this initiative together.

• Financial transactions

First, we need to address the issue of financial transactions, a complex process that is considered the main challenge for successful people working with Amazon. For various reasons, creating an international account and convincing Mia that Amazon’s financial department is a bit complicated due to the lack of PayPal payments and payment by the digital currency system. It is better to know that to work on Amazon, you need a valid foreign currency account along with a valid address to receive checks or verify your PayPal account.

• English language

Next, the biggest challenge for some artists seeking artistic collaboration with Amazon is responding to regular and urgent emails and using the services and menus on the Amazon website and support section. Usually, if you are unable to respond with appropriate quality and a dominant tone, these emails will remain suspended and your relationship with Amazon will be terminated.

• Submit artwork

The closest Amazon public warehouses to Iran are in Turkey and the UAE, and shipping to these two countries is possible by domestic mail, but unfortunately, Iran Post does not have a specialized delivery system to the warehouse and international custom services, which makes it unusable for selling artwork and delivering it in these countries. You need a colleague or employee present in these locations to deliver the goods to the warehouse.

• Production limit

And the final challenge for an artist or creator of a work of art is (usually) the inability to mass produce or print a work of art to make collaboration, shipping, etc. on Amazon sites cost-effective.

Now, probably the most important question could be:

What can we do to avoid losing this international market and to be able to operate in a free market environment and reputable sites like Amazon America?

Using the existing infrastructure of active international systems like an art curator is one of the best possible ways to work with sites like Amazon for you if you are limited in countries like Iran for some reason; we at Iranian Art Holding have sold more than 1200 works of art in the last year and have activated 4 artists on the Amazon market; in the international brand support team of Iranian Art Holding, none of the above challenges exist, and in the case of a limited number of works of art produced, this problem is less effective due to the diversity of activities.

Typically, the Art Holding’s ideation experts contact artists from the Holding’s active exhibitions or partner products and stores in the store menu to sell their work internationally. However, if you are interested in receiving general and specialized services on this issue, you can contact us through the cooperation menu.

In addition, access to international sales is normally available to all artists in the store and exhibition section of the Iranian Art Holding Platform due to the use of a 6-language infrastructure (with separate servers) and access to international payment gateways (dollars, euros, digital currencies), and sometimes in these sections we have experienced good sales of works at the international level.
