One of my most difficult commissions
Commissions can be expensive, but there are valid reasons behind the high price. This article will outline the steps of the commission-making process, as well as explain where all the costs stem from.

I have been taking commissions since 2009 and I find that there is some misinformation or misunderstanding about the cost and the actual process. I hope this article will give buyers a better understanding of what goes into a commission and allow prospective sellers to realize what kind of business they are getting into.

I will be referring to people who order commission as BUYERS and people who sell commissions as SELLERS.

Included in this article: How to contact a seller, securing payments, explaining the building process, detailing shipping expenses, and tips for both buyers and sellers.
