They've built a solid buying and selling platform with features to support their users and help build their success. They’re actively working to put more profits back in the pockets of creators. The platform is free to use, and they don’t take commission, none!
Traderspace looks forward to supporting veteran artists through sponsorship of Voices for Veterans, and welcomes any contact from artists seeking support to sell their works. It's their hope that their sponsorship may help improve the well being of our nations veterans.
