I use istockphoto but I am not getting rich. They are very picky as to what you upload and they are definately a volume sales place. If you upload an extremely large amount of photos you might see some pretty good returns, I do not have that volume.

I have been using Photostockplus for 3 years now and I can say overall they are very reliable, easy to use and one big plus they are in Canada so no need to fill out that nasty W-9. They are customer friendly when it comes to your customers and stand behind their prints. Turn around from time of order is usually less than 5 days. They pay you like clock work although they do charge a commission on service fees. To get full benefits you need to be a gold member which is $199 a year. I really don't understand why these companies charge us for bringing them business but thats the nature of the beast, I shoot action photos and so upload thousands of photos so for me their service works. My biggest complaint is the quality of their photo viewers it isn't even close to lightbox the colors are washed and even the best of shots can appear muddy and out of focus. Customers have a very basic cropping tool that is outdated by todays standards, wwith the gold membership you do have the ability to fine tune a crop. Even with all the drawbacks I would still recommend them but I am constantly on th hunt for something better.
