Heya! im from the UK and i do photography for bands around the local area.
Basically, i go to local gigs and snapp bands and put the pictures on my website.
Then hopefully the bands or other sources will look at the images and want to download the full version without water mark for a small fee.

My question is= is there a good way to create a online shop to sell the photos?
i am looking for a way i can sell the images (Digital form not prints) using palpay for about £0.40 each.
ive searched on good and ive found websites that offer a simular way but buyers have to sign up and buy using Credit! Nothing like i want.

Basically. how can i sell my pictures in digital form?

the only other way i have tried is creating a shop where buyers can pick and buy images, but the images would have to be sent from me personally via email, Which could take a number of days!

Hi mate looks like you will need to create simple website where users can go on and browse your digital prints and then choose and buy when required. The first thing you are going to need is some web hosting, this is the space used to host you e commerce site. I usually only recommend two techniques firstly sign up for a free web hosting company to start building your test website which i can help you with. Sign up for free at http://www.000webhost.com/95999.html

Once this your test website is built i can give you a good company to sign up for a good web hosting company which costs but you get a personal domain such as http://www.anything.com.

Once you have done this get back to me and we and i will answer and help you with any queries.

Thanks for the reply! i have tried some stuff since i last posted

Ok, so basically what ive done is made a website using moonfruit.com
My website is http://www.RobHemsleyPhotography.com i like it because it is flash based and is so easy to edit with the ability of editing anywhere! but i cant use HTML which is a shame.

and then ive found http://www.StreamingDelivery.com which allows me to make a shop where i can upload digital content, put a price on it and sell it. when you purchase an item an email will get sent to your paypal email with a download link to the selected file.

i think this is ideal at the moment but its very long winded. i have to sell my photos in packs as uploading each individual file and setting it up into the shop will take some time. any other sugestions are welcomed.
