and have to have been "vetted" by PD - so if your not there might not be enough time

The request was re-sent this morning which means they've not had much response. If anyone has got some shots it might be worth emailing PD and letting them know - I suspect they'll happily sort it out if there's a sale on the cards.

Thanks for this! I photograph mainly waterbirds so there is a possibility here

Thanks for that pxl8. I looked last night and registered, but not heard about the validation thing yet, but I do have LOTS of water bird shots, so might send them a reminder via email!

when you register to be a seller - they either expect a number of photos to be uploaded (5 I think) for them to look at and approve, or they will look at your website and then decide if the pics are ok.

Can take 3 - 5 days I remember

If someone's got some decent shots then it's got to be worth an email asking if they're interested - isn't it? Certainly there's got to be more chance of selling shots if you actually chase down the sales rather than doing nothing.

totally agree - just trying to explain how it usually works - in response to Ladylens

I got the registration through an hour or two after my earlier post. I was just too excited by new camera to remember to mention it...sowweeee. I gave them the website address and that was obviously ok for them. I agree, if you have worthwhile shots [I am not totally sure mine are, but worse they can do is say thanks, but no thanks] then proactively seeking to sell a few is no bad thing, eqipment is damned expensive after all.
