To join, you will pay US $12.95 for your first month, which begins the day you join and will be automatically billed each month, using your default funding method in your PayPal Account for the monthly subscription fee of US $12.95. This will require no action on your part as your payment will be automatic. Just be sure that you have sufficient funds in your PayPal account's default funding method.

Additionally, you will be billed, at the same time you are billed for your membership fee, for any 3% DPW Auction commission fees you have incured. There are no listing fees for DPW Auctions.

You only pay DPW fees, beyond your membership fee, for your use of DPW Auctions. You are not charged any fees by DPW for any other type of selling method, such as using PayPal directly (not through DPW Auctions), Etsy, eBay, gallery page, blog, or email.

You are billed for your membership fee in advance, each month, while the auction fees are always billed for the previous month.

Please keep in mind your billing month begins on the calendar date you joined. For example, if you join today, your next automatic payment would be made on or shortly after 6/24/2013.

You can cancel your account anytime you want by simply clicking the Cancel My Account button on your Account Info page. If you have any active DPW Auctions with bids, you will have to wait until those auctions have ended before canceling. Your monthly membership fee is not refundable, however once you cancel, while you will be billed for any active DPW Auction fees, you will not be billed for any further membership fees.

DPW can pull in your painting image and information from RSS standards-compliant blog feeds, which include Google's Blogger, Feedburner, FineArtStudiosOnline.com, and Wordpress blogs. If your blog feed is not standards-compliant, DPW cannot guarantee to be able to integrate with and pull from it. If this is the case, or you don't have a blog - no worries! It is very easy to manually upload paintings into DPW.

When you join DPW, buyers will find your latest painting on the front page and can use DPW's easy to use search bar to find all your work by genre, media, size, title, keyword, artist, and dominant color.

The front page shows all the work that was posted the previous day. So, to be on the front page, all you have to do is post. Further, the more you post the more exposure you get.

To help your buyers watch your work, they can select you as a favorite and with a click of the favorites button they can limit all their searches to just who they want to see.

Blogs are great. They are flowing, steam-of-painting affairs, where you stay in touch with your fans and buyers. It is where they can both see your work and hear your voice.

This intimacy and immediacy comes at a price, however. A blog presents your work in a newest first linear stream, where if a painting is not at or very near the top, then it is not seen. A blog is very quickly an out of sight, out of mind presentation.

The thing is, you don't want your work to be out of sight, at all, much less quickly!

This is where your DPW Gallery comes in as a perfect compliment to your blog. It is a richly dense presentation of your and only your work, which is re-arrangeable by you, and easily searchable by your buyers. And, on top of that, it integrates with your blog, automatically every night, or on-demand, pulling in your painting images, titles, descriptions, media, sizes, keywords, and buy links (Etsy, eBay, or PayPal) from your posts.

You can also make your own custom searches of your gallery into a URLs, which you can include in your blog or daily email. For example, you can have a link to just your available paintings, or your larger work, or your oils, or your still lives - it's up to you!

Auctions are pure market - your buyers compete to set the price they are willing to pay. This is so much easier and more effective than you guessing. In short, we believe there is no better way to sell your work online.

The problem is, eBay is expensive. And big. And they sell everything!

DPW Auctions are only about art and they are friendly to your buyers with auto-extension, ensuring the buyer who wants to pay the most can, and auto-refresh.

DPW Auctions are affordable. You don't pay anything to list or relist, ever. Then, when you sell, you only pay 3% of the winning bid.

It's like if Etsy and eBay had a kid that only wanted to paint! Cool.

It is easy to manage your art in DPW using your Art Tracking grid.

If you have a blog, then DPW will integrate with it and automatically pull your posts every day. Or, you can choose to pull from your blog any time you wish.

If you don't have a blog, no worries - it is easy to quickly upload images and enter your paintings in DPW.

You can also track your DPW Auctions in the grid, including eBay auctions, since DPW integrates with eBay, pulling in your auction statuses and current bids.

DPW also lets you track your traffic in DPW and in your DPW Gallery, letting you see how many views, buy, blog, and gallery clicks each painting gets.
