Is it safe to buy art online?

A few years ago, online shopping was perceived with great caution among buyers. Now, more and more people will prefer to go shopping on the Internet, rather than spend time looking for the necessary product in stores and shopping centers. Has this trend also affected art objects?

Definitely. The number of online purchases in the field of art is also growing every day. After all, modern technologies allow a potential buyer to view an item of interest in a digital format, find out all the necessary information, and sometimes even walk around a virtual room or exhibition. Many galleries already have virtual halls, where everyone who has access to the Internet and a gadget at hand can visit the exhibition. Also, there are many online trading platforms that offer a variety of products and services for both masters and lovers of beauty. Moreover, advanced artists also keep up with the time by posting their work on social media and creating personal websites or online stores.

It is impossible not to agree that this type of shopping has a number of advantages:

• Time saving: no more time wasted on the road or looking for a store.Moreover, you are not tied to a specific time of day, products are available for viewing 24 hours a day;
• Detailed description of goods: usually online stores have a detailed description of goods and a classification by characteristics, which greatly simplifies their search;
• Wide assortment: in an online store, the assortment of goods can be several times higher than the assortment of ordinary stores, since it has no restrictions on the size of the space;
• Possibility to choose the method of payment and delivery: Internet purchases usually have several options for payment and delivery, which allows the buyer to choose the most convenient option.

Of course, there is a number of disadvantages, according to which you need to pay special attention to:

• The period of existence of the online store;
• Providing information about the store and its activities in the public domain;
• Availability of documents confirming the purchase;
• Reviews about the online store and its activities.
