Those guys seem well equipped for what you are doing. Hopefully the economic situation right now hasn't affected your sales too much. I agree about the comments regarding smugmug.

Even with promoting the stuff here on the blog, I've had no buyers. There were a few bids, but not enough to push the price over the reserve that I set. Seems that most buyers on eBay are looking to pay about $30 -- which is about what it would cost me just to print the darn thing. Terrible.

I have considered this, but never got around to it. Plus, I am horrible with self promotion. :p How have your eBay sales gone in general? I have considered this, but never got around to it.

They do an excellent job. I've also used mpix.com with success. Smugmug lets you set up a storefront, though, which I use for photo sales.

I had a high starting bid on it, so I'm experimenting with various reserves and starting bids now. After a few more listings I'll wrap my thoughts into a blog post. @John I've heard similar accounts from other photographers printing through Costco and being fairly happy with the results. And I sure hope to prove you wrong on the eBay thing too! @Jerry I’ve only posted the one print prior to this one and it didn’t sell.

In my general area Drycreekphoto has profiles for two places. My pro lab (who I visit for high end jobs - at around 5-15x the price) and Costco. It just doesn't pay to print my own anymore, if I don't like a print from Costco, which is far and few between they'll re-print it for free and usually while I wait. I'll be watching these, never thought eBay would be a very good outlet for photographs - prove me wrong Brian!

But I've also purchased my own prints from ImageKind for my portfolios and I've been happy with the results (and price). I've heard several accounts of others being fairly happy with MPix too.

Is there a place that are using to have your shots printed, or are you printing them yourself? Best of luck with the ebay sales. I think it's a great idea and am really curious to hear how it turns out. Cheers. I’m interested in getting some high quality prints done of some shots I’ve taken.
