How do I (Member/Seller) set the price for my Exhibit/s?

If I sell an Exhibit for let’s say $100, do I get all $100?

Using this scenario as an example, No, you don’t get the full $100. There are payment processing fees, so after those fees, you get 90% of the amount remaining and Anthogs receives 10% (Admin Fee). Rough estimate example: $100 - $3.50 Payment Processing Fees (3.5%) = $96.50. 90% to Seller = $86.85 10% to Anthogs Admin Fee = $9.65

How soon do I have to Ship to the Buyer so Funds are released to me?

You will have 3 Business Days to Ship to the Buyer from the initial transaction. Once the Exhibit is delivered to the Buyer, the funds will be released to the Member/Seller (After Payment Processing Fees, 90% of what’s left will go to the Member/Seller and 10% will go to Anthogs (Admin Fee)).
