I am Mr. Cara Moore CEO, Managing Director of Bob Ross Art Supplies is one of the leading manufacturers of Good Art products in the UK. This is a family run business that was established in 1975, and has grown by providing a service unmatched in the art industry. The main part of the business is our trade division, Sun Vista, which now supplies over 1000 independent blind companies through out the UK.I have sold in galleries and to private collectors from all around the world. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art to Americans, because they are always offering to pay with a US MONEY ORDER'S/CERTIFIED CHECK, which is difficult for me to cash here in the United Kingdom.
I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working for me as a part-time worker and i will be willing to pay 10% for every transaction, which wouldn't affect your present state of work, someone who would help me received payments from my customers in the states. I mean someone that is responsible and reliable, cause the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive, I am working on setting up a branch in the states, so for now I need a representative in the United States who will be handling the payment aspect. These payments could be in form of MO/check and they would come to you in your name, so all you need do is cash the MO/CHECKS deduct 10% of it as your commission and wire the BALANCE back to the company. But the problem we have is trust as we have been burnt many times in the states by some individuals.
