Grid50 VS Fileport

Grid50 is a marketplace for buying and selling photography and video production gear. From used camera lenses to vintage 35mm cameras to new camera batteries and everything else in between.

Grid50 was started so that photographers and videographers would have a place to easily find gear and sell their used equipment at a reasonable price.

It is free to create an account and list your gear on Grid50. You are only charged 3.5% of the total sale value when your item sells. This is in comparison to eBay where the average sale fee is around 10%. (Paypal charges 2.9% of the total value plus $0.30 to process payments on both eBay and Grid50)

With Grid50, you will keep more of your earnings from selling your gear. Not only that, Grid50 is curated specifically for photo and video gear. Therefore, our audience is made up entirely of photographers, videographers, and other photo/video enthusiasts.

Fileport is an online service that provides the fastest way to send files over the internet.

Typically, email providers have file size restrictions and online cloud storage can be cumbersome to use. Fileport is the simplest way of transferring large files from point A to B. Intended for creative individuals like artists, video/audio editors, photographers showcasing their work or anyone whose work depends on exchanging large files.

Fileport is capable of “streaming” files to the recipient (or multiple recipients) as you upload them. You can upload multiple files or folders which can be downloaded in a compressed format, even while uploading. Files are automatically checksummed for integrity during the upload process.

There is a subscription available for users that require more features, like Photobooks. Photobooks are online photo & video albums that provide an ultra fast and clean web interface with all original files available for download. Files up to 5 GB can be uploaded by anyone without the need of an account.
