Sorry my friend, but you are way off the mark on this one.

I use Photoreflect.com

They offer a front end solution for you to sell your images.

You download their software, and build your 'event". You add images and setup your pricing for individual images or packages, however you want to do it. Once you get everything setup, you upload the "event" to their site and it becomes active for people to go to and order. The page can be password protected, if you wish to keep the images private.

For ordering of prints or packages, you can either have one of the labs through Labtricity fulfill the order or you can have the order come to you(this is what I do). Then you can print the images they ordered yourself, if you have a photoprinter or get them processed at the lab of your choice(I use www.mpix.com). If I need to see the prints, then I can have MPIX send them to me, or I can have them shipped directly to the clients(I trust MPIX and usually have them shipped directly).

All this info and more is one the website, too with a lot more detail on your options.

I signed up for their service and have never used it. I never will. It appears to only provide a fancy shopping cart that lets your clients actually place an order for images that end up with a Lab, - Labtricity or other, and never go through you first. Eliminates you needing to pay to have your orders filled and you still get a markup.

Only the lab ever sees the photos. Totally eliminates you in the process.
NOT GOOD in my opinion.

If you just want a shopping cart that works with PayPal, I wrote software that will do it. Build a PS Web Photo Album and upload it. You can then use a service like Shutterbug or Snapfish to order the photo orders that land in your email.

I wrote the shopping cart software and was going to start a website and become wealthy. PayPal threatened to press charges if I did. They would be able to do this because I got confused and registered http://www.paypal-shopping-cart.net and http://www.paypalcarts.net I registered them about a year ago and they will be unregistered in about a week. Nothing is there or has ever been.

Did you realize that it is illegal by the new laws to register anything that contains a trademarked name? They were nice and did not press charges.

I used to be really smart before my brain injury but now I am just smart enough to mess up really good/well.

You can see an example of the program running on one page here http://www.figurenude.com/Curtis.Neeley/...

There are images of art there that involve figure studies or figureNUDES. The prices on them still low compared to others who are as good at them as I am.
