Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about selling your Shutterstock account
How do I sell my Shutterstock contributor account?
Simply create a free listing on our platform with your portfolio details (number of images, monthly earnings, account age). Once a buyer is interested, we handle the secure escrow process to ensure both parties are protected.
Is it legal to sell a Shutterstock account?
Account transfers should be done in compliance with Shutterstock's terms of service. We recommend reviewing their contributor agreement. Our platform facilitates the transaction securely while you handle the account transfer according to platform guidelines.
How much is my Shutterstock portfolio worth?
Portfolio value typically ranges from 12-24x monthly earnings. A portfolio earning $500/month might sell for $6,000-$12,000. Factors include portfolio size, content quality, niche, earnings consistency, and account age.
What is your commission fee?
We charge only 5% commission on successful sales - the lowest in the industry. There are no listing fees or hidden charges. You only pay when your account sells.
How does the escrow protection work?
The buyer deposits funds into our secure escrow. Once payment is confirmed, you transfer the account. After the buyer verifies access, we release the funds to you minus our 5% commission. This ensures zero fraud risk for both parties.
How long does the transfer process take?
The typical transfer takes 3-5 business days: Day 1-2 for payment verification, Day 2-4 for account transfer, and Day 4-5 for buyer verification and fund release.
What information do I need to provide?
You'll need to share your portfolio size, average monthly earnings (last 6-12 months), account age, and a description of your content niches. Screenshots of earnings can help attract serious buyers.
Can I sell a Shutterstock account with pending payments?
Yes, but pending payments should be disclosed in your listing. The transfer can be timed to occur after payments clear, or the pending amount can be factored into the sale price.
