I know of more than one photographer on Flickr that uploaded work, only for it to be stolen and used elsewhere, without permission. I know of others who want to use Flickr to sell their work, but they can’t figure out how to make the process easy. FlickrCash is a new service that lets you find photographs on Flickr that you can purchase and use, while letting sellers give you the licensing to use that specific picture. I decided to sign up for a free account and see what the buzz was about. (Note: In the next week, the site will be leaving beta, and a monthly fee will be charged. If you sign up now, before the change, you’ll avoid the fee and remain free for life!)

I logged in and was able to search on any term, with the type of licensing. There’s a “find-tool” for image buyers and a “sell-tool” for image sellers. Here’s an example search: Purple Flowers - found by FlickrCash. You can even create a shareable lightbox for clients to give a yay or nay to your photo suggestions. I was able to see previews of pictures, and then create a lightbox, and create a license for the selected picture.
