Interesting.

Anyone here have any experience with sales from Zoonar?

I see they are non exclusive, perhaps I will try.

My experience with them is good. I have regular sales with them. I usually don't earn quite as much with them as with Adobe and Shutterstock, but it is not that far behind and sometimes they outsell one of the two (in most cases Shutterstock. This March sales were unusually good and they outsold both Adobe and Shutterstock.

A few things should be noted:

In my experience, Zoonar is all about the partners. They sell relatively little directly (although this March was an exception, perhaps it's connected to the relaunch and hopefully a trend). I used to sell mostly via the partner DDP Images, but in recent years, most sales were via the partner Picture Alliance. And even more recenctly, I started to sell editorials via their parter Imago Images.

I keyword in German and English for Zoonar, title in German, description both German and Englisch.

If you don't provide German keywords, they translate English keywords for their German partners, but I think this can take quite some time and I cannot say anything about the quality, so if possible, I would advise to add German keywords yourself.

As far as I can tell, my images are transferred "as is" to DDP Images and Picture Alliance without (or only automatic) changes in the metadata and they are accepted relativly quickly. For others, like Imagebroker or Alamy, where they seem to have to change more, it can take quite a while until they are accepted.

I sell mostly German landscapes and landmarks at Zoonar and also some industrial stuff or pictures of wind turbines. My editorial pictures are mostly ships. 

I suspect that stuff that sells very good at the microstock agencies like lifestyle images or food may not sell just as well at Zoonar, unless perhaps it appeals specifically to the customers of their German partners like Picture Alliance.

I have been with them for a few years. At the beginning it was a nice extra income. Not anything close  to the big agencies, but I still made a 3-digit figure each month.
But there has been a significant drop in income over the past months and now they are my worst selling agency with less than 5� earnings last month. Not even worth the effort to submit images for me, even with metadada already embeded in my images.

But I also must note that I don't have any direct sales with them, always just through their partner agencies and that I do not distribute my images through most of their partner sites, because I already sell through most of their partner sites directly myself. From my experience they are more an image distribution site than a typical microstock site selling images themselves.

How . you supposed to register if you don't have an VAT ID?
