Title: Add vendorstocks to the poll
Post by: Emdaduljs on January 19, 2016, 03:09
I work to sell with over 20+ microstock site, and in this year I added a new one! vendorstocks.com It looking good one, upload only 187+ items, a month and sold 12 items. :) I found it on google search, but it missing on Microstock Poll Results, so I think it would be really great if these sites were added to the poll

Vendorstocks offer low rate price from others, so buyers are also like to buy from vendorstocks. Vendorstocks approved only good quality items, I upload over 400+ image, but get 150+ approved. But my all items are approved by many others microstock. Vendorstocks good for buyers to get the quality items with low price rate.

Why would I upload somewhere that offers the best work for lowest prices? If they only take the best work they should be charging a premium price. Also why not state your connection with the site?

Hi Justanotherphotographer,

vendorstocks approved all my work that the image on zooming %100 viewed with no noise or bluer and I add some of my reject items with re-size (create small) and I get approved! then I understand that cause. They may be approve my all items, I stared uploading them again. My images was over 12 megapixel, I create it 8 MP now and get approved, they allowed minimum 6MP. So, I hope all my items are getting approved! :)

And vendorstocks offer from $3-$80 for their image, so I think that's not bad for sellers.

Interesting and surprising too.
Website domain is registered in 28th December 2015 with no ranking right now.
I am surprised that not even a month and you are getting 12 paid downloads.

How come you got to know about them. Its weird coz how strong you do SEO you cannot come immediately in google search when there is lot of competition in the market.

Something looks fishy to me... dono why

Add: I doubt it even more coz you are the one promoting this website too much. https://www.facebook.com/vendorstocks (https://www.facebook.com/vendorstocks)
It looks that you have launched this website and trying to attract users by showing the fake (not sure) numbers

It's definitely his website. I checked many files there and all belong to Emdaduljs. He is the best seller there (check the attached screenshot), and probably the only seller.

More evidences: Vendorstocks FB page sharing links to other stock image sites:

And all of them belong to Emdaduljs. What a shame.

Why would someone wants to hide that he is the owner of that website?

Apparently, he understood the mistake of using same username here. He will come back in another name.

The website is a shambles. Trying to read it is painful - I understand that English is not this person's native language, but if they were serious, they'd get someone to help with that.

You can't see the license terms - at least I couldn't find them. The help center has some very brief descriptions of the license types (https://www.vendorstocks.com/help-center/), but that's not useful.

The attempts to make it look like a stock agency - the "featured" litems, and listing this image as a "best seller (https://www.vendorstocks.com/product/pink-and-green-color-leaf-in-the-garden/)" - beggar belief.

If you look at the person's Creative Market profile (https://creativemarket.com/Emdaduljs/activity), this is apparently a Fashion Design student from Bangladesh - who does design, photos and fonts as well...

$3 for a royalty free license of the full size image is really cheap. They charge a handling fee of 40% if you buy less than $20 worth of stuff

They're offering a 25% royalty and a $100 minimum payout. You have to upload a preview image as well as the actual image or zip of files for sale.

In addition to being dishonest in introducing the site - never a good way to build the confidence necessary to have people upload valuable content with you - its terms and total lack of readiness for prime time make it a non-starter for me.

The guy is from Dhaka, Bangladesh, if at least this detail about him is true..
The interface is not too bad, but if they are serious about making a functional agency out of it then it is still a very long way to go before staring to promote it (with phony legends ;D )

Maybe it has sold once which made it a best seller. It's not bad in itself for what it is.
Yet another site which doesn't care about keywords: blossom, cherry, daisy, park, seamless, scene ... and the plant's ID isn't mentioned.
 :P

I soon realized in the first post, which was self-promotion, but I was not sure. In the second post, I was sure it was the website owner or was an employee hunting artists.  ::)
