I'm looking at Photoshelter as a possible place to sell stock, as well as prints.
Anyone here have experience with unsolicited stock sales on photoshelter, is there much traffic from stock buyers? Other sites that I should consider?

It's a decent place, at a decent price, to archive your work off-site. Don't expect any over the transom sales though. If you drive your own traffic to your PS site, the back-end sales transaction is painless for the buyer. However, if you're not driving your own traffic, forget it. In short, Google Image Search can't find your files no matter how you've keyworded and named them. Photoshelter claims that Google should have this licked in about a year or so. There's a lot of bitching going on about this in the forums, but for the moment it's just a fact of life.
