Does anyone use PhotoShelter to sell direct to buyers?

litifeta:
I was wondering if anyone had success using PhotoShelter as their ecommerce site for direct sales?

I have an idea I believe I can market direct to buyers but it is unsuitable for micro, in fact most of the agencies reject these images. All I want is an ecommerce site to sell from.

Tell me your stories please.

Photoshelter is expensive.  I don't trust that Photoshelter is going to stay in business.  Smugmug is excellent.  Been with them for a couple years.  No complaints. $150/year.  I made a few great editorial sales there.   They keep getting better.  Very well run.  Soon they will be launching a stock photo collection.

I used PS for awhile back when they still were selling stock through their collection.  I've since moved to Zenfolio and bought the premium account which is far nicer and more intuitive than PS ever was.  Zenfolio offers digital downloads through four different licensing options now.

If I get specific individual requests I just email photos directly, accepting payment through Paypal or bank transfer. That way I can keep almost all the revenue.

NikonScott:
If you are interested in selling images Image Stream looks pretty good, take a look at www.imagespan.com.  I think they wind up less expensive than PSA, and for me I want to move as far away from PhotoShelter as possible as I was one of those that invesed much time and effort only an organization that was not really ready to move forward.
