It's a strange species. However I think it's worth it. Sales can be as much as $5+ down to pennies. Makes no real sense. Simple upload and release process. No running tab of total sales. Easy to connect with support.

It's because of the "pennies" I would never upload there. I am already disgusted with the 8 cent downloads I get on Istock. I don't need more of those.  If the commissions were weighted to, say, 75% $3-$5 and 25% subs, maybe.  But I suspect that this isn't the case.

After a "short" experience, PhotoSpin will be my "Stock Recycle Bin". Why? Some of my files that never got a single sale and/or with low acceptance in top/middle tier agency's are selling there.

So, each time I have a new batch, I'll upload first to all agency's exception made to  PS. After some time, the "less good" images will go directly to PS.

Somehow it's a way to protect my best seller's being sold my few cents...

See my reply above. Very, very easy submission and average $15/month with 800+ images.

Well perhaps trying to understand them will give us a better understanding of what you're trying to say!
