I was in the middle of keywording my first images with them when they went dark Yesterday afternoon. I thought I had a cache problem with my browser. I sent them an e-mail - no response yet. Glad to hear its not me.
Side note: Assuming this is a normal web site glitch and they are back up soon I have a question.
Do you max out your pricing for your vectors or do you price them so they are competitive? Looking for some help on the pricing.
Thanks

They're back up. For a moment I thought they were gone for good. No sales activity lately, though.

I keep my prices at S $10, M $15, L $20, EPS $30. It's slightly higher than what most sites offer, but I consider it a fair price for most of my vectors.

I am sorry, but this is sad. On their Front page... English is not my first language but I know invoiced takes a C...

Get invoised monthly - Savings on downloads

Overall looks great but...

Thanks. I'm going to do a test of about 50 images to see how it goes. I rank my images by popularity so I think I might adjust the pricing based on that ranking. However $50 seem high for a small site so I think I will follow your lead and keep it in the 20-30 range. I appreciate your feedback.

Good to see they are back up. They kicked butt last month.

Meaning that your images sold well there last month?

Yep, that's what I meant. I got lucky and a buyer came in and bought a lot of images from a series. It really doesn't take too many sales to have a pretty solid month over there. It's funny how that works when you are actually getting properly paid for your work. If only some of the other sites would follow their example, I'd be a happy camper.

I think that they are gone forever... This is very strange if they give up they can at least come here and tell us something IMO.

I had an e-mail this week from Poul regarding an upload and he said to me that it was down for some days more (probably maintenance or whatever) but it will soon be back online.
