    I can do it with a Plugin

    I think some people may be misinterpreting the OP's post. If I understand him correctly, his business is NOT to sell plugins. What he seems to be saying is that he can implement his business idea using an EXISTING plugin, rather than paying for a site to be custom coded. This would be like...

    Wall Street Warriors

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have no idea why I wrote that all 3 seasons were on Hulu. It is only the first two seasons. I guess my fingers were typing faster than my brain. :)

    FTC Bans Upfront Fees

    Also, what about a third party escrow option? The customer puts the funds into escrow and the funds are not released until the services are successfully rendered. You know that the money is safe, but you haven't violated the law because you have not collected the money yet.

Then again, I am not a very trusting person, and always assume that someone will screw me if they get the chance and it is in there best interest to do so.

    Your explanation was decent. You also want to add the dimension boundaries that you want for the image (both the full size and the thumbnail). For instance, neither axis for the thumbnail should be more than 100 pixels.
