How do you find using CMSaccount?  Is it easy to bulk edit photos and upload photos?

I'm currently selling with photodeck and it is a bit pricy for how few sales I get.  I think I'd rather use a self hosted system like cmsaccount or ktools (if they would ever release the latest version with better design)

Leaf, Ktools v4 has been released - they're on v4.0.8 http://ktools.net/photostore/

It's so much more polished than the cmsaccount script.

I just noticed that we can register as "sellers", thats your website or an agency?

Now the agency. I'm tested and incorporated this feature

if so why haven�t you said on the initial post?

I was planning this site for themselves and their friends.
Then I checked out all the functions and have the opportunity to take up more disk space for files. And I decided - why not

doesn�t look like a proper way to announce a new agency but thats up to your client, that said there is nothing talking about royalties % and such

"doesn't look like a proper way to announce a new agency"
It so happened. I do not dare call the site for the friends - Microstock NEW .
I'm sorry - I use auto-translation.
I did not understand the second part of the message

ah I see! what I am saying is that when somebody open a new agency, they should annouce it, not the way you have done, they need also to tell us a little about their background and what will be our royalties.. very weird you aren't understanding once you have pictures in microstock agencies  

Everything was planned as the site for one or more photographers.
You can consider this as a site-site functions of the agency.
(I understand that it resembles a little bit pregnant)
For a larger view, I have very few answers
But some of the questions I can answer

congrats! Wish you the best for your own site, I think everyone should have his own site!

I agree but what for? not even small/new agencies can compete with top agencies, how can us alone or even a few selected contributors open an agency and succeed?

we have many examples of that situation being reported in this forum, only a few exceptions get to another level

I know that you are speaking about opening up our own stock agency, but I would find the photostore useful for

1.  Stock downloads
2.  Hosting client galleries where they can select, order and pay - without me paying a commission (i.e to Smugmug or Zenfolio) and without triggering U.S. taxes
3.  Selling physical goods - fine art prints, greeting cards, t-shirts whatever on-demand
4.  PSD Templates

It is easy for me to look at it this way because I have been paying Smugmug for clients anyway for a few years while I still have such a small stock port - but if I was a big full time stock shooter I'm not sure it would look so good to offer such different offerings on the same site.  Buyers might see it as you just throwing everything you have at the wall to see what will sell.

well.. I just purchased cmsaccount.. I'll give some feedback on how it goes.  I also have also used the old 3.0 version of ktools and wasn't impressed by the looks or lack of batch editing.  Version 4.0 could be better, i haven't tried it.  The looks are still sub-par IMO, which is part of what swayed me over to CMSaccount

Cool! I'm definitely interested in seeing a comparative opinion of the two.

I love the new. I like to do the impossible
