Maureen McCarthy founded Artplode in 2014 as an alternative to high-priced art galleries. Galleries charge commissions on sales that can be as high as 40%. Artplode charges a one off fee of $60 to list an artwork. Artplode also allows sellers to deal directly with perspective buyers, so they can answer questions about the listing, and arrange payment and shipping of the work themselves.
Artplode caters not only to artists, but to collectors who want to sell artwork from their collections. This means that aspiring artists have a chance to have their artwork listed along with artwork from well-known artists such as Andy Warhol. Warhol's work Marilyn 26 was listed on the site by a collector for $126,000.
Here is the information about selling on Artplode:

seller removes it. You may also elect to pay extra to have your art included in one or more of our featured categories.
The site has been carefully designed so visitors can easily browse
by the country of origin of the artwork and the location of sellers as
well as fine art category, subject, style, price size and era of
artworks. This means visitors can quickly find works of interest whether
they are international collectors or collect works from your country.

Artplode welcomes listings of works by established and emerging
artists selling their own works, art galleries, dealers and private
sellers worldwide. Private sellers can maintain their privacy when
selling art because Artplode doesn't require your full name be included
on listings.
If a private seller isn't sure what price to ask for their artwork for a small fee our Artplode Assistant can provide a guide on pricing your art.
Some busy private collectors might prefer that an experienced art
consultant manage enquiries about art they are selling on Artplode and
or handle the sales transaction. You are welcome to contact any of the
fine art consultants who advertise their services on Artplode to discuss
the fee that they might charge for handling enquiries or managing the
sale of your artwork listed for sale on Artplode.
