Picfair Avis 184

I have over 200 photos for sale on Picfair and have joined Picfair plus. A significant number of my images have been starred by Picfair (so the images are not sub-standard and indeed I have sold some on other platforms). However after over 68,000 views over several years I have only 3 sales at a commission of £11 each. NOT happy!

Google Picfair.co m. It doesn't take you to a page to buy photos. It takes you to a page that is to create your own page, which you have to pay a monthly fee to before you start selling.
So, you have to ask yourself, "Is this a site for selling photos or hooking photographers into paying a monthly fee?"
Then you ask yourself, "How do buyers find me if Googling Picfair.co m only takes you to a site signing up photographers?"
Then Google, " buy photo art online." I didn't find a link to Picfair.co m.
The gap in .com is so this doesn't look like an ad for the site. My first edit did.

What a rort and a waste of money. 7 months on and not one sale on this site, some award winning photos as well. I will be cancelling my subscription.

I don't care for this site. It's easy to use, but your pictures have to be approved by whoever runs the site when you upload them to sell. They limit your creativity off of what interests them. I spent hours of editing to try to get approval for multiple pictures. Many were approved, but many also weren't. They aren't anything inappropriate either, it's just animals and nature. I'd rather work with a site that supports my creativity. My friends and family (some are photographers themselves) have told me how beautiful my pictures are and should try to sell them. I regret it. I shouldn't have to spend a ton of time editing the original beautiful pictures just for someone else's interests. I also shouldn't have to spend more than I make for a subscription, either.

paid 50 dollars with a coupon code for 1 year subscription in 2022 made 250 dollars in sales
with 24,000 views

In 2023 I only made 1 sale (30 dollars) 1000 vieuws

I was not active promoting my work in 2022
you have to do a lot of promotion your self, I share my store with my followers on facebook and instagram if your pictures got starred on the platform they wil give you more views eventualy !

It's not only a store but also a social media platform where they share your pictures with other users, it al depends on how good your work is !!!

Don't think to make a sale when your work is not worth it, you have to realize that. Put your pictures to work !!!!

Been with Picfair a few years, they just take annual subscription without any warning and no sales for several years, I'm going to cancel subscription and would NOT recommend anyone pay annual fee.

so bad and some good 12800 views but no sales at all I update it all the time

I paid 59.95 to only find out a month later that its for professional only. I dont recall recall seeing it when I purchased package. I tried to get refunded partially and i couldnt. Im not impressed by this company. *

They also upgraded my subscription without my permission and billed me $90. Dishonest.

Crap...Charging for a platform that is junk anyway

Picfair.com is for school teachers to use for showing what life is about to Kindergarteners; for teaching purposes in classrooms. Copyright infringement is a gray area in the education world. The teachers think it's O.K. to use picfair.com for teaching purposes, but it's not. Hospitals lead patients to picfair.com, and so do child nurseries. Three stars for the views, but I have no sales after 10,000 views.

Created by scammers from Igniter100 and solmax who stole £7500 from me. Don’t fall for this scum!

Picfair is a scam, I’ve had 3000 photos on there for 18 months, not a single sale, in that time I’ve sold loads on other sites. They make money with subscriptions. I also wonder if picfair is a front for something else? Anyway, if I could rate them zero I would!

Thought this was a novel idea. Loaded some pics and never touched it again. I didn't subscribe to a yearly thing, but saw a $90 charge on my credit card. When I asked to cancel and demanded a refund, I was told that I could not be refunded. What? I haven't touched this app in 2 years!!!!

I've made a couple of sales but with 1752 reviews and 89 images that seems to be better than most reviews here.

I paid premium and it's just not ever going to make it's money back, but the thing that really annoyed me is that they do not allow AI images to be incorporated. I only used the AI for the foreground then blended in my picture, the picture was inside an AI generated gem.

This is still my art work, how dare you depict what I can and cannot sell on my store that I paid for! I get moderation (Which takes ages!) to check for images that break the law but I am the artist, let me decide what I sell especially if I'm paying you to do so!

The service works well but You need to do Your own promotion... I have got over 300,000 view but only 6 sales. Maybe my content does not chime with what buyers want now.

I was with Picfair hoping to sell some of my pics, but after a year and 8000 + photos not 1 sale I managed to get out and not pay a renewal fee.....then like a fool I went back for more thinking that my pictures didnt sell because of my wording.
The site is a navigational nightmare, support is non compliant... just signing in is something else, it does not recognize user names or passwords....in one word...SCAM !

Great layout and a portal to see my photos, but no sales in the five or six years they've been on display.
They wanted me to upgrade to PicFair plus, which I said I would do when I had sold enough to pay the fee, but as none have sold it is unlikely this will happen!
I'm inclined to agree with other reviews that suggest it's a scam!

Sadly I found Picfair to be a complete waste of time, effort and resources. I had been a member of Picfair for a few years with around 1600 images and in excess of 150,000 views. apart from one sale I generated myself through social media my experience of Picfair has been extremely disappointing to say the least , This is NOT a stock photography site,do not believe the hype this is merely a portal for you to upload images, you will have to generate any sales via your own marketing and pay Picfiar for the priviledge . The business model of all the leading stock sites is completely different, you upload, they generate sales and pay you,( albeit a small commission) picfair are merely hosts so you have to pay them and market the sales, you might as well have your own web site to be honest. So I've just cancelled my subscription which was on auto renew Sept 23, that in itself wasn't as straightforward as it could be - if your aim is to sell stock images then dont bother, stick to the main players, if your goal is to sell fine art prints then consider the alternatives before signing up as you will have to do your own marketing anyway......caveat emptor
