....and submit a driver's license, passport, etc but don't include a photo. 

Looks strange.
"Security measure for Tax Forms: please upload a copy of any ID document with photo (e.g: identity card, passport, driver's licence, etc). Note: this should not be a photo of yourself"

Should I upload an ID with a photo of some one else ??

rofl you both..  You joking or?
Do not upload ONLY a photo of yourself.

I don`t care about istock. Hope they die soon.

At the moment your website gives no feedback to 123rf website. So we (the photographers) do not earn a single cent while you sell a template with our images. Iam realy confused why you should even be allowed to use a extended license. I thought digital reproductions are not allowed.

Your website is searching first at selfhosted images (  our iamges from 123rf only by regular licence). This is not ok for regular licence.
After this it will search on 123rf too. This is ok for regular licence.

For your self hosted images you need a extended license.
You can not buy the 123rf images once and resell it as templates and only pay a regular low price only one time. NO WAY!

I do not think the photograper is happy you resell his image:

The only reason i see for the extended license is that you host the images on your own hosting. Yes it is right, you want sell a template and you need a extended license.
Solution:
If you act like a affiliate/ refferral partner all images stay at the stock photo agency.  There are endless reseller.  Poster and printing services for example.
They do not pay a extended license becaue they act as a reseller.

A second solution could be to accept people as seller. Invite photographers to upload directly some choosen photos and graphics. Pay more as all the stock photo sites. Make a good offer for photographers and you save money because you only pay for sold template.

Choose some of my graphics and i will upload them. Give me $2 each time a image will be used on a template. Iam in.

It is normal that my images still appear in search results ??

 

And still online on their partner sites. 

You have to count deactivated + deleted images.
Many deleted images are still online. Hostiles..

DepositPhotos promoting "New Flexible Plan". May be that is not news. But I've just noticed. Monthly plan 10$ for 10 images and you can buy additional images for 1$ and unused downloads transfer month to month
Sound familiar?

Grumble, it looks like it worked. I see higher prices. Anyone else see a change?

you kidding? it`s same same

This doorknocking sounds a bit old fashioned. And it sounds like some kind of pyramid scheme where the whole goal is to be getting this 10% rather than actually building a viable site and selling stock.

And what would be these virtues that we're giving the speil about, you seem to have brushed over that part? Is it just the 10% part, or are there other virtues? There are lots of other sites that have referral programs, maybe not lifetime, but what else do you have to offer... 10% for life is great, but 10% of not much is... well, not much.

2007..

deleted files. too stupid prices

Preview images are watermarked. What do you mean? It`s fine for me.

It depends on the image. The watermark hardly shows at all on light-coloured images or isolations.

Yes, you are right. On a few isolated images of mine. Not many.
The worst still FT. No watermark for all images. Perfect size for many many needs and no watermark. Horrible.
I think we will see a hard decrease in sales for "size XS" at FT. No one needs to buy this size any more.

Hi Justin,

Nice initiative, but 30$ a month is a VERY high rate even if you offer 100% commission.

My main concern is that you business plan does not really motivate you to find buyers for our photos (you get 0%) - it actually mainly motivates you to find new photographers, who are willing to invest the 30$ a month. All right, the first six months are free, but still... How about a payment model where you keep the first 30$ of the photographer's sale? That should also motivate you to do something about getting good sales for your contributors.

I will never pay this high amount to sell my images. No way. Make it $1 for 500 images. If no sales (payout) i want have back my money and the option to cancel the account at any time! Maybe i will jump.
