Yes upload is easy. Will see if I have any luck with them. If not, the effort was not much.

OK. Thank you!
Are you happy with them?

How long does it usually take at SignElements for the images to go through the approval queue?

3rd party sales are usually very near my normal royalties, but it is defiantly not a 15% cut. So I think it maybe the volume bonuses or discounts that get subtracted.
I wish it would be more clear.

I also agree that 15% is too low. At 15% a 3rd party sell with one of their sales, could yield the artist very little in return.
My understanding is that the 15% referral is NOT coming out of the artist royalty.

If you set your royalty > 15% then your placement in the marketplace is dropping and Zazzle will not include your products in the collections for promotions. I keep my royalties around 25% (used to be the standard) and I still get a good amount of sales. The best categories are: wedding, baby, sport, graduations and most holidays. You can make also a good amount of money (15% referral per sale) by promoting not only your own products, but also products from other stores.

Do we have to write support for any other services that we like to be included or activated?

I can sign in fine, but the image I have uploaded via FTP yesterday do not show up in the submitting process. When I look in the FTP folder they are still all there.

Looks like you are off to a good start for the development. I wish you good luck with your project. One small tip. Don't have as your first tab NEWS. Move it behind Promotion and may call it BLOG.
All General important pages should have a link in the footer (FAQ, Contact, About, ...) create a page just for the PRESS (press kit, press releases, ...) and place that link in the footer. Think about what type of payment you want to accept and how you want to pay the contributor. Different account view for buyers and contributors? How to upload? FTP? What type of model and property release management? Very important that you import system reads the meta data IPTC out of the image files. Most important is Title, Description, and Keywords. No category selection for contributor. Just uplaod and submit, but with the possibility of editing if necessary. A delete function for image. And a function that allows to cancel an account. But I am sure you know all this.
Good luck!

I do well with them. Last year I had almost every month an increase of sales. Never had any problems with them.

You will know the final amount at the end of each month. No problem with 0,03 $ if You had sold 2 for 27$. Bravo for this, Paulo.
Anyway, 0.08 $, 0.03 $.. this is total degradation 
But participation in stock business is our choice, agree?
Yeah, 0,03$ is nearly a crime. But we are talking about "premier" colection ( 300k pictures ), and only if client spend all subscription. If they not spend it at all, You get higher royalties for those images, something does not happen in other agencies ( They still paying 0,20$,0,25... ).
So, the best way to evaluate PS, is on the end of each year 
Another "funny" fact is that, some files sold on PS, never got any sale ( or even were got accepted ) in any of agency's that i'm working with. Here among us, "where nobody can listen": I should be paying to customer for every download of those "images" LOL
Most people criticize these "business template", because it makes other agencies lower their prices ( IS and FT by the way ), but I'm the few one that believe that they would lower the prices any way. Moreover, regularly, I got same image sold in more than agency, on same day, with different prices: once was from 0.25$ to 131$. This means that we have enough clients for any price, and working with "very low price" agency, doesn't means that "all clients" runway to that agency on first chance.
But I agree with You.. it's everyone own choice. Micro Stock is my third source of income ( second in photography business ), and i'm not working with the most salable images.
More easily I stop downloading to Is, than to PS. I give more importance to the final $ income, rather than the RPD.
Wow, interesting stuff thanks for sharing. I was looking at their payment page, and it states this:
"Each revenue split is based upon the number of total downloads of your images per customer per month."
Meaning what exactly - you will never know what you are supposed to be paid? Am i reading that right?
And 0.03cents in value for a sale.......really?.....iStock will be jealous. 
You right. As I stated above, we only will know the final results on the end of each year, and probably we will get much of those 0,03$ downloads.
But non-sub downloads are interesting.

If you don't see your details in upper right corner, then find the little arrow button next to logout. Click on it and it should show your details in the upper right corner again.

$1-$11 per month for me with them. I upload batches of 5 images. And that takes me less then a minute per batch to submit there. As long as I have a return there, I will also upload.
