selling photos online

[TRiP]

im planning a lot of days out at mountain bike races this year and was considering trying to make some money selling prints of the racers.

my plan was to stick flyers on all the cars in the car park advertising an online gallery where the riders could view all the shots of the days racing and order prints to be delivered. i wouldnt have the hassle of printing and posting and would make whatever markup i put on the pictures.

photobox have their pro galleries but theyre a bit limited on storage space. if theres 200+ riders there will hopefully be 200+ good photos to upload.

are there any other services online such as the photobox pro gallery that would offer slightly more space?

I tried IMS from Third Light for a year but couldn't generate the sales to make it worthwhile.

It is however the best online photography sales system available, it links into Photobox Print button so once it's setup you don't have to do anything - IMS and Print Button automate your orders, payment, printing and delivery. It can be completely customised into your website and you set your own prices for prints.
The downside is the cost - A setup fee of £125 plus £75+VAT per month, so 1 year is almost £1200.

I now use a PayPal business account which just handles the payment, but it's much cheaper
