I thought instagram owns all users photos? How does this work legally?

Hey
Good point! You actually own all your own content on Instagram and so can sell it as you wish.
When you sign up to Instagram, you grant them a broad set of rights - specifically a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable,worldwide license to use any images you post, but ownership remains with you.
Hope that clears it up :)
Yes, prices are fixed at $10 for all images so that brands can budget easily.
This is something I may play around with at a later date but at the start I thought that flat-pricing would be the most straightforward option!
Also, if an image isn't available then BrandFox comments on the relevant image to let the Instagrammer know that someone wants to buy it. If they log in and click 'accept' then the brand gets the image and the Instagrammer gets their money :)
