The Flickr Collection has been live less than a week, and already we’re seeing a tremendous amount of interest both here on our site and over on Flickr. Those of us who spend time in the Flickr forums have seen some really good, interesting questions come up over there as well as from our customers. We thought we’d share a few questions and answers here. Starting with the big one:

Q. So, have there been any sales yet?

A. Yes! We’re happy to report that just within the three/four business days we’ve been open, we’ve already seen a number of sales. Not only that, but the sales are from several different countries. The image below is officially the first one sold. Others in this posting are also among the sellers.

Q. You’ve said the collection will be growing. How’s that going?

A. Great! Since we launched early last Wednesday, the number of images for sale has nearly doubled. Hundreds more are coming online every day.

Q. I’ve submitted my images and they aren’t up on the site yet, where are they?

A. We’re working through literally tens of thousands of images that have been submitted for the collection. We are getting them inspected and up on the site as fast as we can. Since the day we launched, we have already added nearly 4,000 more images. So hang tight, they’re on the way!
