I don't mean to just jump in here, this is my first time. But what about clustershot.com? They at least link back to the author and allow buyers to see the complete portfolio. It may not be the best place on net to sell photos, but it's a good example of what "might" work. I'm actually really new to all this, so I know little to nothing, but from what I have read about so far in this topic it seems like a good example of what is missing in other places. 

However, clustershot seems all but dead, the blog has not been updated in several months, and I get no replies to emails I send out.

But like I said, I am new to all this, and still learning.

Had a look at the site and I see they sell pictures for $3  .  They claim "  You decide what photos to sell and we will take care of the complicated parts."

There is nothing complicated in selling someones pictures for $3.  Stupid in my opinion but not complicated.  You could have an account with Photoshelter and market micro at these prices or slightly more and have sales with a minimum amount going to Photoshelter for the fulfillment process.
The idea in marketing stock is to get a reasonable return for your efforts and none of these cheap stock houses are going to work for most people. So many people want to sell their work that the majority of people marketing this way will find it is more effort than it is worth.
