Title: Society6

Anyone sell images here? It is a nicely set up site. Just wondering. I searched but only found one reference here in passing to this POD site.

indeed a nice pod site but we as photographers/illustrators ("microstockers") the lack of watermark is very concerning, I do have a few pictures there for a few months and no action, doesn't mean they don't sell of course, just my stuff

impressive artists there so I believe they must have some buyers as well :)

I guess I don't need any more places to never sell anything.   :-)

It does look like they're selective in what they accept, which is good.

I hadn't ever heard of Society6 before reading this thread, so I did a little Googling around tonight.

They do have good artists and seem to produce nice products, BUT...  I found this assortment of nasty reviews from customers (http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.society6.com (http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.society6.com)), which would make me leery of getting involved with Society6.

Anybody know anything that would refute the low-low-low consumer reviews for that site?

Difficult to assess, but there are only 13 reviews - from how many customers in total we don't know.

After reading this thread I got interested enough to find out more about Society6

Here is more stuff about them:

http://www.marcjohns.com/blog/2012/06/society6-review.html (http://www.marcjohns.com/blog/2012/06/society6-review.html) What starts as a positive review ends up a bit negative and the comments speak for themselves.

Society6 iPhone Case Review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dbbZALBDMI#) Again starts positive and then gets an update pointing out issues. Also negative comments on customer service and long shipping times

It seems though that Demand Media purchased Society 6 and are planning some changes. Maybe it will turn things around for the better
