Hi, does anybody know if there are any U.K. based photo hosting sites with print selling [for profit] similar to the likes of smugmug and fotki etc???

The only one i know of is clikpic but this is way to expensive for the amount of business i expect to have initially..........

The likes of smugmug and fotki are very appealing from a yearly price point, but all the pricing for selling prints is in $'s not £'s which would be off putting to the customer, and then there is the waiting time for prints to be shipped from overseas............ Does anyone here that is U.K. based use these sites for selling prints for profit??? how do you get on with them??

My other option would be to use my zenfolio account and set up a paypal account and instruct customers to email me the details of pics they want to order...... much more hassle this way though, so if anyone can point in the direction of a good one stop do it all site that would be ideal!

Cheers

Steve

My understanding is that you setup the prices to reflect the profit you wish to make and they take their cut/commission and pay you the difference but it has been a while since to looked into the terms & conditions etc. There are no charges as such in the sense of up front payment to use the service.

The photobox solution sounds just the ticket! i use them all time for prints but didn't realise they offered this service!! Excellent stuff, thanks for pointing it out to me!

Cheers :D
