Questions before using smugmug

Erixon

Hi

I'm a Sweden-based photographer, and I'm thinking of selling prints.
After checking out different solutions I've found that smugmug best suits my needs.

Now my questions are;
* If I sell prints in Sweden, Is smugmug shipping them there, and is it any toll (since it's basically importing)?

* How is the method of payment worked out, will I pay tax/fees in whichever country I sell a particular piece, or is taxes paid to my home country?

If this is the wrong place to ask this questions, kindly redirect me

Hello J Erixon,

Thanks for showing interest in using SmugMug, we'd love to have you join the family

Our two print labs will ship order to Sweden, and our international shipping prices can be seen here: http://www.smugmug.com/prints/shipping.mg

It will be 2-3 times more to ship them to Europe than it would be for U.S. orders.

As an international pro, you would be paid via paper check that we'd mail to you. You will still need to set up an online W9 in the control panel of your site, and request payments when you have less than $500 for the month in unpaid profits.

In the control panel of your account, you will have a tax and payment info, and set up the taxes there. Here's some further assistance with your sales tax tool: http://www.smugmug.com/help/photo-sales-tax

As far as your taxes that you have to pay for making money through us, you will become a 1099, as long as you make more than $600 in profits for the year. You can view all of the getting paid information here: http://www.smugmug.com/help/reporting

We have no issues answering quesitons for you here, but you will receive quicker answers by emailing our help desk here: http://www.smugmug.com/help/emailreal

Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

One thing that seems to be an issue with international users of SM is that the prices will display in US dollars. Something to consider.
