The cut is too high for the platform. I guess you take this number from Google/Apple store's commission.

The difference is software on Google's store has infinite leverage and takes almost 0 to scale sales. Every piece of art takes lots of work and cannot scale in the same way. Art works do not scale like software.

With this cut, I feel your platform is taking advantage of artists (they do not know where to sell) rather than helping them.

Even auction commission is only between 12 & 25%.

I am learning how to write. After seeing a few people with blog, I realize the importance of writing. It makes you think clearer and understand a subject deeper.

I totally second this comment. Startups often have 2 years of fund till the next round. It's much better than 30 days of private restaurant.
