Foap
Uncle Pete:
Access to your paypal account, every agency I sell on has access, that's how they pay me.
Here's FOAP in a nutshell. $10 sales, you get $5. It's social and phone oriented. Most of the site doesn't function on a computer.
They are an honest agency, partly funded startup by the government of Sweden in 2012, investors, and partners. You know what, Google or Bing or whatever, still works.
Here's a really good review on Microstock Diaries. Read the parts about how it works. I went through the peer review period which was dumb as bricks. People would review friends photos higher, and stupid snaps of someone making duck lips would pass with a 5 while actual stock photos would get rejected. Read about releases and other kind of lazy compliance things, like everything passes because they can't pay for reviewers.

But they are 100% honest, even if they aren't the greatest for returns or business models. I left, they paid me what they owed, no problems.
Phone App Agency, have fun good luck, don't expect to make big money but heck, $5 is a nice little prize when you do get a download. Even discounted packages pay the artists $5. COOL!

actually foap now partners with getty but they want ecxlusivity so i dont bother upload there any more.also i think they give more emphasis to their differect contests run by different brands.i send some pics into their contests in the past but none of them was accepted couse the brands review the entries.so its difficult to win the big bucks unless someone here won their challenges
i had a sale of 5 dollars and that was in 2013 and unfo my only sale
they changed their review policy and you dont get dumb rejections from dumb users.the pic i sold there it was rejected back then. some idiot rated my pic 2 while it was a good photo.it was a picture of flags in london during their olympic games and i forgot it and then i posted again and voila got high ratings and sold in 2 days.I couldnt sell anythin else there unfo through the years
on the positive side i got over 7000 followers lol that is somethin i guess

They have your paypal address to transfer money in. That doesn’t allow them total access to your account. Like taking money out, seeing all your personal info, etc. Big difference.

I was a member they never asked for total access to anything. DONE
If you or someone else wants to make a claim at least check to see if it's the truth.
Before starting to sell your photos, make sure to have your email confirmed and your PayPal email connected in the Foap app.

Read post #2 and direct your comments to them, they are the ones having issues. You made the remark that every agency has access to your paypal account...that isn’t what luckyj is saying. Get YOUR facts straight. DONE (love how you think you are dismissing me...right back at ya) LOL 😀
