http://www.greatstockphoto.com/ I just stumbled across this on dpreview.com, I have no idea how good they are - they look very new.

Not keen on their payment options for photographers though:

? Signing up and uploading your photos is Free. We handle all sales, promotion and managment and you get .79 for each photo that is sold and downloaded individually through GreatStockPhoto (100% of the download fee minus a PayPal processing fee). You do not get paid for downloads made by members who have purchased the weekly subscription, as this is how GreatStockPhoto makes our revenue from the site.

the weekly subscription is now monthly which makes it almost a free site ?

oh wow - I don't like that either. I found this at like 1 in the morning, so I didn't get a chance to read up.

Wow, thanks guys, gave me my reason to remove my files... hadn't made a sale there in the 3 months I've had my images up, so I was thinking about it anyways...

Gotta focus anyways and only keep my images up on sites that produce...

The subscription price is now $13 per month for unlimited DLs, while individual sales are 99 cents each. That's ridiculous considering the photographer doesn't receive any commission on subscription sales. As a buyer, it only makes sense to purchase the subscription instead of individual photos, so the only people making any money from the site are those running this scam.
