I only know 500px where you can also sell your images. If anyone does, I dont know. Sometimes think its mostly used by photographers and therefore more used for inspiration/just looking at great stuff.

And considering I do not do much advertising this is pretty good - 53907 views

Do you sell reguarly? Its some very fine images you got in there :)
You specialized very much in macro and also some landscape and I understand you got a market for this. I'm not there yet, Im just doing a little of this and that, but mostly ordered pictures and those I of course doesn't sell.

You should try 500px.com - you dont pay unless you wanna upgrade. They print and have a shop similar to Redbubble, and they charge a pretty good price.

I've only sold a few, it's more of a convenience thing and it's free. The issue I have here is with my internet connection as my upload speed is 0.65mb/s at best and with 30 - 40mb sized files it can be a pain and time out.

I tried Behance but was not happy with it at all and cancelled. It does not allow you to upload full resolution photos so when you sell something you have to upload the full resolution to another site for them to print it. Also the site is not very intuitive so it was hard to set up. Also right click is not protective (I know many of you don't believe this helps at all but it does keep the average person from stealing your photos)
I am going to stick to my Zenfolio account.

Red bubble does have right click protection I think.

The reason I went with Behance was because of the Photoshop-CC offer compared to using Zenfolio. Zenfolio cost $120 for a subscription that allows you to sell your work, both digital as well as using their print service to send prints. That same $120 spent on PS-CC gives you the PS extended, Lightroom 5.3, 20 gig cloud space and a Behance Pro subscription. So the same $120 I was spending at Zenfolio will not only give me an internet presence but will also give me access all the goodies in the newer versions of PS (Adobe will not add any new functionality to CS-6 version of PS, only PS-CC) as well as LR and cloud services.

The problem Don highlighted doesn't really apply to my situation. I have never sold a digital copy of my work and all the images I have sold , I print them myself. As for the right-click disabled function, we've all heard, ad nauseum, how the right-click disabled is a false sense of security and how there are many ways around that. In fact, the consensus opinion on image security seems to be posting small, low-res copies of your work on the internet. Which is the exact reason Behance states for not disabling the right-click functionality and I tend to agree. Yes, Behance requires a bit more tinkering with but in turn also allows a higher level of personalization by accepting HTML and Wordpress languages. But on the positive side, Behance is very big on promoting your work and your website.

So for my purposes, the $120 a year I was spending on Zenfolio is going a lot further by going with PS-CC.

Excellent that does make perfect sense. I may even consider this when I venture to PS-CC
