Had this email on Flickr today from Pixopolitan, did a search but couldn't find anything on here.
What do you think? Seems a bit fishy.

from the website they are clearly french, but beyond that no idea
 
Got one as well, the website doesn't seem to get much traffic so I just ignored it.
 
Is 5-10% of the pre tax price a normal commission for stock photography?

Seems low to me...
 
Here are some stats I found. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/pixopolitan.com

They also asked me to join. I was thinking 5-10% was low too. A connection on Flickr joined. He said that it took them a month to assess his photos. He has 1 for sale and says in 2 months, 47 views but no sales. He lives in France and it seems this is where the site is originated.
