to be honest, I dont know how it works (photographer payoff) but its my second best selling agency after shutterstock.
It has overtaken (regarding my revenue) fotolia within 2 months, wow!

Yep, sales for .03...almost-free = still alive.

I seriously hope people don't start flocking to them and encouraging their new plan .. they are selling unlimited download subscriptions for $329 a year !!!!! Man who took over and turned that company into a huge piece of &*^%*%? I remember they use to be a major player back in the day.

They offer this for $329:

"UNLIMITED DOWNLOADS PhotoSpin is the only subscription on the market that offers a truly unlimited service. You will have access to download as many images as you like during the term of your subscription. No limits."

That is....no comment....

I wonder how much they pay contributors?

I wonder that too. Can the OP give us some examples of how much he has received for different size sales so we can compare?

Ok, I just saw it:
What does PhotoSpin pay?
There are 2 ways you can participate: you can either receive a 50% revenue split for exclusive images to PhotoSpin or a 40% revenue split for non-exclusive images. In both cases the copyright and the image remain yours, you're only licensing the image to us to distribute (as royalty free) to our customers on your behalf. Each revenue split is based upon the number of total downloads of your images per customer per month.

Yes, but how much is the revenue per picture?

You never know until after the last day of the month how much you have made.  Here's an example of mine from many months ago:

62992    145    2    $7.21    $0.04

User #62992 downloaded 145 total photos for his $7.21 subscription.  Two of those were mine so for both I made .04  That's .02 per photo download.

Extra, extra, read all about it - the new low had been broken! lol 

@Mantonio, so did you pull your images and cancel your account from there?

I believe you can't close your account for 5 years

after 2 years

now for the real surprise .. how many people will read this and go .. I'm gonna upload all my photos anyway and see what happens because last year I made 50 whole bucks off another low-earner and that's $50 I didn't have before ... there's a lot of *ahem* smart thinkers out there. 

LOL

Where are my 2 cents!? 

OK so I had to test the waters and am very satisfied so far. First 150 images got 13 downloads and $3.69 for the first day.

Yes, good maths but what counts is cash in my hands 
I get around 80,00 - 120,00 Dollar a month with 400 pictures.

One of my clients has a subscription there. It was super cheap and there are pretty much no limits to how many files I can download. I don't see how any contributors can possibly make more than a few cents per download but maybe I'm missing something.

I am not a contributor there but I have looked minutes ago and it isn�t unlimited anymore, now it�s 50 daily.. Yuri is there

Despite all the negative comments here, I might give Photospin a try IF they have an easy upload.

-In the bottom line I'm only interested in how much the client pays for an image they REALLY USE. For example they might upload 10 images for $0.03 a pop, but if they use only one of them it's the same as a $0.30 subscription download. And if they use it only in a small size, it's no worse than a $0.30 small size download. I'm still guessing the big players that use images a lot are using IS, SS etc. because they have more images to choose from.

-Yes I'm a bit concerned for piracy, but then again:

-I will only upload selected "crap", images that are collecting dust on other sites, perhaps 5% or 10% of my portfolio.
