    Plenty of stock sites out there where you can sell your images.

    Some (or many) of the well known picture hosting sites offer an option to sell images. 500px, deviantArt etc. T&Cs and commission might be a bit rubbish though.

    rox5 what kind of images you'd like to sell?

    I think you need to think of what kind of pics you intend to sell and who are your clients.

    Based on this you can start to chose one website rather than another one.

    Let's do 2 examples: selling on stock website means ( generally speaking ) selling a picture for few euros, but the same pic can be sold many many times, if it's a good one. Usually those website are used by graphic agencies, advertisers, publishers, bloggers ecc. So really depends on the style and kind of pics. Examples are iStockphoto, Getty Images, Thinkstock, Shutterstock and so on. There are many many website, some of them will require a test to be a contributor, others don't. Again there's a further selection for some website where, when you upload an image, it will be examined and eventually approved.

    Another option is to go for the more artistic ( let's call it this way ) where a pic is sold and the user can chose a format and where to print it. Usually this is the case of ppl that want to buy a pic to put in offices, houses ecc.

    xshayx did you ever sold some photos via those websites?

    Only recently set up properly on redbubble, not setup yet on bluecanvas or society6. Redbubble seems good with the products available and postage isn't stupid.

    Have sold on bigcartel, but its stuff I've had printed myself and directed people there.
