Default blish

I was wondering if any of you have heard or submit to blish? http://www.blish.com
I was approached months ago if I wanted to participate and could ftp upload at that point in time, which I did. (I think roughly about 600 photos online)
Then they went live and I do sell from time to time but there upload process is the worst in the WORLD!! So I have told them that unless they change that there is no way I am gonna spend up to 10 minutes uploading one single image...

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with these guys? I can't really tell how much I have sold (horrible interface too) but I made about $ 17 so not exactly a fortune... :lol:

I was reading another thread in this forum about Blish the other day (http://www.talkmicro.com/viewtopic.php?t=207), and checked out the site. While I liked the concept of selling many forms of digital content at one place, I wasn't crazy about the lack of a pricing structure or quality of many of the images. Images are being offered for sale anywhere from $1 to $125.

yeah, the photographers can decide what prices there images are being sold for that is why you see such huge differences... I agree that the idea of the site is nice, but the site itself... is horrible...

I emailed them to ask about joining as I couldnt see anywhere on the site to apply. A little while later a guy emailed me telling me that they are only accepting photographers etc by invitation at present. Anyway he asked me for a link to my website then sent me an excel form to fill out with an invite to become a Blish Charter Seller so Im just waiting to hear back now.

Just an update, I got in to blish, but just find the upload process an absolute chew lol. Im not the most patient of people at the best of times, but when it takes so long it really puts me off :evil:

I have uploaded some images to Blish and found the process very slow and painful, lots of different screens to go throu filling in information that isnt that usfull to anyone...and why it can be on one screen rather than 5 or 6! I have only uploaded about 7 images and none of them have sold, until either an images sells or the uploading process gets easier I wont be bothering anymore

I got started on BLISH a couple of months ago and have over 100 pics online with them. So far I havn't made a dime, but I'm also on a few other sites that I havnt made anything as of yet on. Oh well I'll just be patient and hopefully when I retire in 30 years I'll have enough banked up to make a pay-out.

... oh yeah I forgot where I was going with this... Blish upload is painfully slow, I hate that I have to keyword without commas (I use ms word and do a copy paste on all of my sites) deleting the commas is a huge pain in the A**.
