They do 1TB like grid hostings advertise ‘unlimited’. They know that 99.9% of users, casual users won’t use up (yet alone UPLOAD) all the one Terabyte, even 100GB (I don’t even have a photo collection that big and that’s all my private photos of 10+ years), and the few ones that do, well their storage is paid off by pro accounts and whatnot. I think it’s a similar concept to CrashPlan

Many hosting service is using the same trick to keep old users while gather new users. Unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth. They know that most users hardly use up 1TB, but everyone would have more space to expand their gallery. When the user’s portfolio is just too big to move to another service, users would just stick to flickr.

Congrats.

Congrats.

Happy Birthday It sounds more like a result from your hard work rather than just pure coincidence

Yes sales are really low these days. But as @ShermanJackson pointed out above, it takes nearly half a month just to upload and get the item approved, so when sales are in an uptrend we may lose our chances. I don’t have enough data to give out any suggestion, but these day don’t seem to be easy…

Do you mean your uploaded item in queue for reviewing just disappeared? Try to check your Email setting: http://graphicriver.net/user/santonov/preferences/email_settings . Confirm if you have “Send me an email when my items are approved or rejected” checked.

Seems like Flickr are trying to grab attention of more users and increase the user base as big as possible. Also they are leaving out Pro tier and replace by the Ad-free and doublr tier. With this Ad-free tier, maybe Yahoo would try to put up more ads than ever so it’s worth paying to get ad-free. The doublr tier is $500 a year doesn’t really make sense to me because it’s easy and free to get another terabyte – just register another account.

Do you need a corporate website (presenting the business), or a commerce website (shopping cart) ?

Can someone translate this statement from PayPal’s Protection for Buyers page: Especially the latest sentence. For me it’s clear that it’s not for digital stuff.

Yes, intangible goods are not covered by PayPal Protection for Buyers (Protection for Buyers – Section 13.2). But buyers have a Credit Card chargeback rights, which cover intangible goods (Protection for Buyers – Section 13.9). So, basically buyers still can file a credit card chargeback for an intangible goods.

And it’s worth to have a look into Seller Protection Page:

Why doesn’t Seller Protection cover deliveries made in person, or intangible goods (such as digital goods or services)? One of the most important requirements for coverage under Seller Protection is proof of shipment or delivery. Since deliveries made in person and sales of intangible goods do not have verifiable shipping documentation, we cannot currently extend protection for these types of transactions.

So, PayPal Seller Protection does not cover the transaction related to intangible goods. No way we are protected, sorry.
