Last thing I heard was that the developer was working on a VAT plugin.

Last thing I noticed was that the developer has left the project and blamed a bunch of people for pushing him over the edge.

I really dont care about all politics involved in this project, but if the VAT plugin wont be added, I can close shop. As per EU laws I need to start charging VAT.

It is too late now, but I have spend over $200 dollars in this dead horse and if I could, I would file a chargeback to get my money back.

I paid 125 euro for Lightroom 4, and still get free updates, every time, last free update was 5.6. I see the symbiostock developer threw his toys out of the pram when the community expressed their wishes not to pay for updates.

So, is the VAT plugin being developed and added to symbiostock? Yes or no, if not, I need to take my site off line, which I find extremely hard to digest. And I blame the developer fully for that.

You could always find someone on odesk or freelancer to create it for you. You could then sell it as your own plug-in.

The VAT plugin is just about finished. I took a break from Symbio as well as it for a while. After a few tweaks it will be ready.

Thank you leaf, I could try that.

-----------------

When developers constantly drop the project and come back, it has become unreliable. Thanks for finishing the VAT plugin. If it comes at a price, I will buy it, but my trust in the project is damaged.

The theme is great and it's free the next software I know that does the same (selling pictures including VAT-functionality for my country) costs 1000,- Euro in the most basic edition! You can easily switch to this software if you are not happy with that what Leo offers you for free!

Waka,
Maybe you want to try Photodeck, full functionality, perfect service, worry-free, and it can cost you as little as 10$ a month, that is about the cost of your hosting anyways (i know mine is).

Stocked, 1000 dollar for similar software, bullocks!

I paid for the software, it is not free, I offered to pay for the VAT plugin, I am no leecher nor moocher.

The project got abandoned, the forum got deleted, all links on MY website linking to the forum, all of a sudden linked to clipartillustration.com. I find that a worrying hijack.

1. the standard software needed to set up a fully functional site is FREE -- what did you spend money on? there are pro plugins that are all optional
2. the forum is active again.
3. links were temporarily re-routed while the transfer was underway, - any previous links to http://symbiostock.org re-direct to the new site at http:/symbiostock.pix-now.com

Why does the main page say the author of the OP is Ron but the pseudonym is Waka Waka? Back again under another new name?

Regarding VAT plugin:
I am trying to sell shareware in my site (defishing program), and I am using FastSpring as a payment platform. They act as a reseller, with full customer service, VAT invoices for EU customers, etc, and they take only about 8.5%. There are more similar resellers, for example payproglobal. Maybe it could be possible to write a plugin for Symbiostock, somehow integrating it with one of those services?

There would be no point. That project is not going anywhere.

^ some might wish that it were otherwise and no doubt I will get down votes for writing this. But it's a fact.

Well people here like to complain about the good things, they complain about Stocksy, Symbiostock and any other effort to change this industry to the better for the artists. On the other hand they are happy to send their work to scam sites like Deposhit I guess we don't deserve better!
