I missed this blog post announcement from March 9th:

https://www.behance.net/blog/sell-downloadable-assets-on-behance

I took a look around to see what fees the platform charged for items sold there:

https://help.behance.net/hc/en-us/articles/13356478351387-FAQ-What-are-the-fees-

The payment processor (Stripe) takes a cut, but Adobe takes only 30% - versus we get only 30% for licenses via Adobe stock.

That left me wondering about more than having an outlet for file types I can't license via Adobe Stock (I have some PSD files at Pond5 for example, which is great except for Pond5 sales being more rare than hen's teeth). This blog post says you can still license on other sites (i.e. it's not exclusive):

https://www.behance.net/blog/get-paid-on-behance

From the above (emphasis mine): "You can specify the type of license, set your own price for each asset, and continue to monetize on other platforms." Does this mean I can license items on Behance that I also license on Adobe Stock? I'm thinking of a scenario where the JPEG is licensable on Adobe Stock, but a PSD with some additional features is for sale on Behance?

The license offerings are different (simpler)

https://help.behance.net/hc/en-us/articles/7416981176603-License-Types-for-Assets

The FAQ makes it clear that transactions are between the seller and purchaser - i.e. Adobe doesn't get involved (other than collecting the platform fee and "... we will promote your content to our audience of 40 million members. "). From the link below "All transactions on Behance are between the purchaser and the creator. If any issues arise or you want to request a refund, you should contact the creator directly"

https://help.behance.net/hc/en-us/articles/12810196558107-Learn-more-about-transactions-on-Behance

I'm not sure about investing the time in setting up shop on Behance, but it'd be nice to have something in the FAQ specifically addressing any issues that apply to Adobe Stock contributors who also sell through Behance

Interesting. Wondering also if I could sell photos already on Adobe stock here. Does not say anywhere that you may not do so, right?

Sounds to me like you can. They have probably been inspired by dribbble doing a similar thing.

I just went to take a look at dribbble and noticed that their marketplace is "Our marketplace of digital assets helps independent designers earn a living doing what they love while giving you the perfect building blocks for your creative projects, all powered by our sister site Creative Market"

I didn't realize Creative Market had been acquired by dribbble in 2020

Not certain that Creative Market's licenses are used for dribbble purchases, but the names are the same and the "learn more" link on dribbble goes to a Creative Market page.

Very interesting Jo Ann, thanks!
Maybe we can ask @MatHayward if he can clarify some aspects of this marketplace, and how it matches with Adobe stock contributors
