How does anyone edit images on Picfair? Is it even possible? How do I delete an image? *sigh*

edit: Oh, now I see an "edit" button under my image... I'm sure it wasn't there a moment ago... maybe a site/browser glitch?

Question to the owner - is there any chance that vertical images will be smaller? Now they are huge that it exceed my big monitor... The watermark is poor still and I'm waiting to upload hundreds of my images to you. Any hopes for changes?

I wrote Benji an email about that issue but never got a reply...

Same here.

Hello everybody

Just want to say that i sold one pic on Picfair maybe...a week ago
Buyer signed with anonymous so i m in doubt...maybe they "bought" that pic from me

zexx · « **Reply #104 on:** October 09, 2014, 08:08 »

As for reply from Benjy i can t say anything bad because they replied whenever i asked about cashout for example...

Hi, anyone selling over there? I have about 150 image up and want to upload more but I don't see any sales. At least not on twitter. I just got in this week's Picfair Picks but I have no idea if this helps.
If you sold anything the last week please let us know. I'm curious.

sharpshot · « **Reply #106 on:** October 15, 2014, 11:05 »

I didn't upload many but zero sales puts me off uploading more. Been there a long time now.

eyewave · « **Reply #107 on:** October 16, 2014, 10:59 »

I think I got about 200 online there, three times in Pick of the week, 4 sales so far (2 of them were picked ones)

r2d2 · « **Reply #108 on:** October 01, 2015, 12:02 »

I upload 200 images this week. Today the first sale.
The upload is totaly simple. I only upload via FTP and thats it. The files are online after FTP uploading. No editing no review.
Picfair only takes 20% commission.

To be too good to be true

Is there anything wrong with Picfair what I've overlooked?

amabu · « **Reply #109 on:** October 02, 2015, 03:22 »

I have 1000 images up there and earned 38GBP in a year... So you are lucky with your first week sale.

Is FTP now open for everybody?

Hopefully its more than luck

!

They invite me per mail to FTP after i uploaded the first 100. I dont know if its open for everybody.

Belish · « **Reply #111 on:** October 02, 2015, 12:42 »

So, how is there? I'm wondering if I should try it...

Alfa156Melb · « **Reply #112 on:** October 04, 2015, 18:07 »

Hmm I decided to upload to these guys - upload process on the surface is senssational - although I'd rather FPT - I've asked for an invite for that and i suspect my problems will go away after that..

But in the meantime - i uploaded 20 files - they all completed, but some said they were processing. So I uploaded another 20... and over half of the orginal files have no disappeared

.

Of the second batch of 20, only about 15 of them worked..

anyone else having these problems?

2 years, 600 images, 15,000 views, 4 sales. Maybe that's what's wrong. Their license is not true royalty-free and does not allow advertising. So you have tons of pics on there without model releases. It's neither editorial nor commercial.

So, I've decided to give it a try. Uploaded some photos, put all the keywording and pricing and stuff. But now, if I go to search and type keywords of my photos in it, it doesn't show my pics. Is there anything else I must do or what's the problem?

Sounds like Demotix. Anybody uploading at both? Is it the same?

Dumc · « **Reply #116 on:** October 22, 2015, 10:30 »

Wov, I had a sale just two days after my first images were published online.

Julied83 · « **Reply #117 on:** February 24, 2016, 11:58 »

What's going on with Picfair ? Everybody here had good sales ? I tried a little last year but I removed my picture when I notice the watermark was almost invisible on my images. But I may give another try with images that fit good with the watermark they use.

Belish · « **Reply #118 on:** February 24, 2016, 13:29 »

Got my first sale yesterday. I'm have 3 000 images for almost 4 months. But it was less than one hour work of uploading so it is good enough for now for me.

Dumc · « **Reply #119 on:** February 24, 2016, 15:39 »

4 months, 169 images, two sales, 5 brit pounds each.

andy_arden · « **Reply #120 on:** February 24, 2016, 17:31 »

hello, can i sell my photos on picfair and in the same time the same photos as rf on other stock sites?

Julied83 · « **Reply #121 on:** August 10, 2016, 14:04 »

I have a lot of view on my image at picfair but no download. I doubt much buyer know or buy at picfair :/

I've had over 6k good sellers at Picfair since the beginning of the year and NO sales. Most disappointing site in the marketplace. Even stock fresh and Crestock earn me some occasional income.

No surprise, after three years, 30.000 views and four sales I closed my account there. I think one problem is their license which is neither RF nor editorial but a mix between the two. So no commercial use allowed. That rules out a lot of buyers.
