Frequently Asked Questions

Do the VAs know how to use platforms like 1stDibs or Chairish?
Yes. Our VAs are trained to navigate the back-ends of major vintage and antique marketplaces, as well as standard CMS platforms like Shopify. For your specific gallery's formatting guidelines, you simply provide your SOPs to your free Dedicated Project Manager, and they handle the specialized training.
Can they handle customer haggling and shipping quotes?
Absolutely. We work with you to establish pricing floors (lowest acceptable offers) so the VA can negotiate on your behalf within pre-approved parameters. They can also liaise with white-glove delivery services or platforms like uShip to provide accurate freight quotes to buyers.
Is the Project Manager actually free?
Yes. The Project Manager acts as your Shop Manager and handles QA for free. We oversee the entire execution process on your behalf at absolutely no extra charge. You are billed purely for the VA's active working hours.
Do you operate with USA time zones and currency?
Yes. We align our VA working hours with your specific operational needs to ensure prompt replies to buyer inquiries during your core business hours in the USA. All billing is processed in simple USD.
