There are many other online galleries around the world that I haven't listed today. I am only going to talk about the ones that I know and like and trust. Just be sure to do your own research and if possible have some discussions with the particular gallery. Usually this is a good indicator and you can get a feel for who they are and how they operate through chatting to them.
I appreciate and adore all of my online art galleries for taking me under their wing and helping give me a wider audience for my beautiful original artwork. For the buyer I think it comes down to personal preference on which gallery they may choose to buy from. Always go with your gut feeling and the one that you feel the most comfortable with.
