I would think so, as long as it's good work.

It pretty much depends on a few factors but I would suggest that you use paper specifically designed for acrylic paints so that it won't wrinkle or tear...
First, the name of the artist, well known or an unknown person? Secondly, the content and the skills of the artist (and in some circles, the frame that it is mounted with). How large, small and what does it depict? And, finally, truthfully, how good is the painting itself?
Hey, if you find it too difficult to paint on paper, go to a linoleum shop and ask them to save you all the scraps. Take them, cut them up to whatever size you want. Give the back side a few coats of white or black primer. And paint away! Just a thought. If you're creative enough, you can even adhere this to a 1/8" think piece of plywood (inexpensive enough) and then mount a nice frame before selling.

It would not be worth as much as oil on canvas. Sorry to say, it has always been that way. Water colorists have always faced this problem, but they do find a market for their works. I think if you do it well, you should find a market for your work.

Should be fine. Make sure you put a ground on it first though, or it will wrinkle up.

use good paper, or make your own with acid free paper pulp
