Bollocks, I accidentally edited/deleted this post, doh!
Ive sold 7 images so far with Shutterstock
I'll see how it goes - the plan is to sign up with many stock sites, whether I end up doing this remains to be seen. Its a lot of work for not very much money initially. But potentially a lot of money for doing very little every month further down the line.
I think banks charge you a tenner or there abouts with each transaction, plus a very small percentage. Not sure. Alternatively, you can request a payment via paypal, moneybookers, etc.

Just out of interest - how do you intend cashing the US Dollar cheque without losing it all in bank charges ?

Nicely done, Bob.
I must say, I submitted a few of my photos to istockphoto and I've sold the most images of shots I have like your pen and calculator shot...making $2
Still, at least you now know that people want your images
