There isn't a whole lot of info here, but it looks like 500px is wanting to try their hand at stock and/or print sales

And what do you mean by? 

not for sale once I have not upload the watermark

I use firefox

after uploading a picture and making it for SALE you need to upload a watermark, they don�t have one

Ok now i understand but mine will be uploaded with a watermark already on them.

I also use firefox and it is broken for me?

weird but its true, working here, last version of firefox, I don�t think you can upload the picture with watermark on it, it won�t be cool to sell a pic with it lol I guess you need to upload the watermark itself, you will see what I am saying when you enable your store

p.s: you need upload one with watermark and one without

And do you upload the watermark as a jpeg or a PSD?

both JPG (they need to be at least 3600px along the longest side) I will email them to see if I did it the right way

p.s: the first image you upload will be the one users/buyers/whatever will see which means if you upload with watermark, you will need to upload a second one without it

Good i will wait to see what you hear they haven't emailed me back yet about uploading so i amm still out on that anyhow.

the site does look awesome, pretty cool place to show your work but the 2.99$ seem very very cheap :/

Yes but that is a one time HD DL for personal use.

I looked at the site, read the rather brief personal use license ([ur=http://500px.com/terms/download_license.pdfl]here[/url]). Seems to me that there is no way that you could ever police this. It's bad enough with the micros, but here you're not even selling to another business.

I think for people who have stuff on Flickr and might like to sell one or two, this seems like a fine idea. For anyone who actually has microstock income, (i.e. you have something to lose if people buy a full size image for $2.99 and then use it commercially) I can't see much upside (prices are too cheap and I don't see a huge new audience this site brings to the table) and there's a big potential downside.

right, I tweet about the low price and they replied asking what I think would be fair and I said 4.99$ thinking of the 70% royalties and the personal use only, if it goes other place beside personal its pretty crappy..

Has anybody been selling prints or digital personal copies on 500px.com?
