    Photo platform 500px is ditching its efforts to help you buy and sell photos through its own online service. The company has closed its in-house Marketplace as of July 1st, and will now rely on moving photos through Getty Images in most of the world as well as VCG (which acquired 500px in February) in China. Your royalties won't change if you had photos on 500px, but don't expect to have full control over how you share photos -- the company is scaling things back, at least for now.
