I am looking for a web based service that will allow me to set up password protected galleries where prints can be ordered and I also want to the site to handle the payment processing. The issue that I have is the number of photos I might have online could be 250 to 500 photos at any given time. The user interface for uploading the photos and setting the prices needs to be easy and the cost needs to be low whether it is a one time fee or monthly fee. I don't need anything fancy and minimal bells and whistles. This is not for me but a friend and will be helping with the setup so I'm doing the legwork as a favor. My only concern with regards to keeping the cost down is the number of photos that might be online at any given time and I think this is where many places run up the fees. Thanks in advance!

Instaproofs. No maximum number of images, they only charge when you sell (15%).

another smugmug user.
no limit to images uploaded
fees can be individualized or set by gallery or entire portfolio

if your friend decides to use it, pm me for a discount code

to get a sense of the site, go to smugmug and check out galleries and different levels of membership
my site is a pro membership but really not necessary unless you want individualized pricing
