I have been doing this long enough now that I have seen this a few times,   but it always bugs me.

I did a recent shoot and had about 50 images that I thought I would upload.  I picked the 10 best and uploaded them to the big 4 and some others.

Shutterstock took all of them within a couple days and I had a few sales of of them withing a few days.

Same set at Fotolia took about 8 days to review.  ALL were rejected?@#$%$#@  Most due to poor quality?

At Shutterstock I sell 1-6 images a day.  Fotolia about 1 every couple of weeks.

Hmmmmm may be time to give up on this site.  I will probably stick with them till I get my first payment and then pull out.

ever stopped to think that it might be poor quality. In any event, having files reviewed over a weekend at SS,  you for sure get their weekend staff and boy! theyre not too creative or rather "dont know"

many people have reported the same pattern:
SS, DT accept images AND they sell - FT & 123 reject those images for oor quality and don't sell as many of the ones they do accept

which agency are you going to believe? the one that rejets en masse and sells little, or the one who accepts and actually produces results?  individuals will have different anecdotes, so it's worth a try, but the weakest conclusion is that the rejectors know better

Frankly, I would trust the IS reviewers far more then the others, longer in the game and more experienced. The Fotolia inspection is pretty good as well, IMO.
