--- Quote from: leaf on July 14, 2011, 14:04 ---I am pretty excited about that site actually. I really like their philosophy and their management seem very level headed and on the ball. Not to mention their site design is one of the best, imo. Sales are what talks though, so I guess we'll have to wait and see how they do in that department.
I have been putting off giving them an intro until they were live and ready to go but obviously the 'world' can find them so they must be getting close.

you got me excited too as I read your comment, too bad we cannot see the "inside" of it but I believe there are nice royalties % or your speech would be different right?

Sorry, yeah, I just logged out and see that it is indeed still 'private' - I was looking at the logged in site :S I believe they are planning on opening it up to photographers before too too long though, so you shouldn't have to wait long.
To avoid getting in trouble I won't comment on their rates, other than to say, here is a link to their ThemeForest site and it's contributor rates
http://themeforest.net/wiki/account/money-account/payment-rates/
which is essentially just what helix7 already referred to.
PhotoDune will probably be similar, although I don't know if the exact rates are set or not.

I see, thanks for sharing

Whoops. Sorry folks. I figured it was publicly available. I'm logged in to the other marketplaces so it let me see PhotoDune, and I just figured anyone could see it.
Eco:
I am a contributor on AudioJungle and investigated VideoHive (both part of the Envato group) and I can also log into the PhotoDune site. However, if PhotoDune is anything like AudioJungle and VideoHive I will not get exited too soon.
Submission on those two sites are very laborious and very primitive compared to the competition. On AudioJungle it is required to submit both a WAV and MP3 file (other sites will automatically create a MP3 version from the WAV), and I must also submit a lower quality MP3 version with the AudioJungle watermarked on (other sites will automatically create a watermarked preview file). Similarly on VideoHive you must submit a thumbnail jpg image, the HD video clip and a lower resolution, watermarked version for preview. For all this trouble they sell your HD videos for an average of $5 and pay non-exclusive 25% commission. Same with AudioJungle - high rejection rates, ridiculously low prices and low commission.
No thank you. Unless they can radically deviate from this rip-off approach of their other sites I will give PhotoDune a miss.
Phil:
25% is a bit of a yawn,
especially for a new site (even if some of their other sites are big)
(and especially if they do the rip off the contributors on credits - this is an if as I dont know I'm not a member at any of their sites)
