I've had an account with them for years, with just one image. Alexa shows small traffic when compared to ImageKind and FineArtAmerica. Any feedback on them?

Warning: Biased opinion:
Browsing photography there for 5 or 6 pages should disabuse anyone with a lick of skill from rubbing elbows with that crowd. Now I know where reject snapshots go to die.

I reported some images to them, not due to the poor quality (blurred images probably taken with a cell phone) but due to copyright infringement (those were images of t-shirts with designs on them).  I have decided to skip them.  If I could only remember who referred me to them years ago (not from here), I could know if they are worth the trouble.  The good thing about that is that you can upload a watermarked image for display, and an unwatermarked one that will be used for print. This makes them the only printing site I know with a decent watermark policy. Others have useless watermarks with large previews.

I don't think most of these sites do any inspection of the submitted images, though, I never had to wait to have imges online.  Artists Rising does (probably worried about copyright infringements).  Zazzle does for stamps, because the agreement with the US Post requires so.
