   The buying process

Making a purchase enquiry

This page deals with buying directly from a photographer whose images are displayed on this site.

A buyer wishing to cantact a photographer should use the 'make a purchase enquiry' button on this site. When an enquiry form is completed, the buyer, the seller and Photoconnect will all receive by email detail of what was inserted into the enquiry form. At this point no order (or contract) has been completed.

Although basic pricing guidance is available from the photo pricing tables on this site, other details that may affect the price may still need to be confirmed.

The seller may send the buyer a low resolution image by email to confirm the image identity.

Details of a license have to be agreed. The seller will will normally send a draft to the buyer but there is some flexibility about final content.

Once the delivery method, form of license, payment method and price have been agreed between the buyer and the seller then the sale may be concluded.

Payment

The buyer needs to confirm the payment method with the seller. Some sellers accept credit cards and some have an account with PayPal. (www.PayPal.com). They can then send the buyer an invoice by email and the buyer can make a secure credit card or debit card payments online. Alternative payment methods may often be available.

Buyers should note that the seller will usually wish to receive payment up front before delivering the image. If the buyer wishes to receive the image quickly then PayPal is one option or a same day bank transfer can be made.

Take precautions

If paying in advance, the buyer should take appropriate steps to verify the identity of the seller. Photoconnect has not verified the identity of photographers who sell on this site.

If the seller knows the organisation that he is dealing with then he may be willing to give credit. The seller may request more details so that it is clear who is to be pursued in the case of any problems arising.

Delivering the image

The image will normally be delivered as a low compression RGB JPG attached to an email. Other delivery options (tiffs or transparencies) may be agreed with the seller.

Photoconnect is a site run by a photographer - Scott Hortop. Photoconnect itself does not handle funds on behalf of sellers or photographers.
