It looks promising. Images sit on your website, no subscription fees, put some code and voila you can sell prints. I am waiting for invitation. Hopefully later you can sell images also. No middleman but you need to do marketing yourself.

They are the middle man, they say you set the prices for the prints but they will set a minimum, they handle the sale and facilitate the transaction for a 15% fee, they hold your money and you can see your balance in your control panel.

We automatically send out checks once a month for any balance of $200 or more. If your balance is below $200 and you would like a check to be mailed to you, send us an email and we will process a separate check for you.


They are not doing any marketing and rely on the traffic you drive to your website.

In this sense yes but what I like is that I do not submit pictures to a third-party, I only have a platform to sell. Like eBay they take many from sales to make it happen. As an analogy I would say current microstock is like pawn shop, you give them your stuff they sell and give you back some money minus their fee. They keep your stuff. That's what we need, platform for selling not another website to submit.

Payout limit 200 $ by paper check. They do nothing nada nichts for their 15% fee, not even host the photos. They just keep our money in their bank, forever for those who never will reach payout. They don't do any marketing since the customer first has to reach your website, then the traffic gets diverted to them. You do their marketing and they charge you for that. Hahaha, come on. You can as well add a Paypal button or a button from a Print house: no fees and immediate payout. :D

Prediction : mr. Ahmad Kiarostami will soon appear here on MSG explaining what a wonderful chance we are missing to lose money:P

Wasted time.

If you're serious about direct selling of photos and prints go with Photosholter.
