All film scans should be done to professional standards. Professional lab scans are preferred, but home scanning methods are acceptable if done with proficiency.

The scan should be sharp from corner to corner, and you may need to edit the scans afterwards to remove scratches, hairs or dust visible at 100%.
When ordering lab scans, choose the highest possible resolutions for uploading to Stocksy to maximize your earning potential.

You can also opt for a full aperture overscan, which includes everything on the negative, including the gate edge and black bars (left/right).
For 8mm, that will include the film perforation:
