Veer Marketplace Opens for New Submissions!

We’re excited to announce that as of today, June 8th, Veer Marketplace is now open and accepting submissions!

This means you can now sign-up and apply to become a Veer Marketplace contributor. Once you pass an “entrance exam” (submit 10 of your best shots for our editors to examine) and then complete royalty and tax information --- you’ll be ready to start uploading your full portfolio.

By submitting your content now, you’ll be sure to have completed the approval process and to be in the system so your portfolio is ready to go for the buyer-focused launch in mid-summer.

We’ve designed the Veer Marketplace ingest and upload workflow to help you submit efficiently and to help you keyword effectively.

Some of the features we’re especially eager to show you:

•   Support for FTP or advanced HTTP web-upload
•   Metadata and model and property releases can be attached to multiple images at once – real-live batch processing capability! 
•   Model and property releases can be stored in the system and applied to future image uploads
•   Powerful controlled vocabulary and keyword auto-mapping system automatically accommodates spelling variants, common misspellings and synonyms, and includes broader search terms. This gives you more efficient, consistent, and accurate keywording. For example, if a contributor adds the term “happy” to their image, the system automatically adds more than a dozen other terms such as “happiness”, “cheerful”, “emotion”, and “good mood”.
•   Automatic creation of preview images in JPEG format for images uploaded in EPS format, such as illustrations. This means faster and more accurate uploads for vector artists.
•   You’ll have the option of selecting between PayPal and Payoneer as payment options during sign-up. If you decide to go with Payoneer, in the next few weeks following sign-up we’ll send you a link to the Payoneer site where you’ll complete registration, and soon have your Veer Marketplace branded debit-Mastercard in hand for use in virtually any online, retail or ATM.
•   No categories!

This is only the beginning.
The platform needs your input – we’re actively soliciting feedback and feature suggestions to help enhance future releases.

Head to  http://contributor.veer.com  to get started now!

We look forward to welcoming you into the Veer community, and to seeing the great images and illustrations you’ve been creating over the past few months!

Hi Talanis -

Thanks for the kind words. We worked hard to make the potentially onerous IRS withholding tax process as painless as possible.

Welcome to Veer Marketplace!

Yes,I like the upload process and the layout of the site. I got the 10 images uploaded for the review and am just waiting to see if I get accepted are not.

I had no problem at all Lisafx but I don't know if it is the same form for the initial upload as it is for general upload. If it is, when you select the files and click continue to get to the page where you can edit your title and keywords, there should be a Release ooption on the right. When you click on it, you can see 2 radio buttons (model and property release) as well as the already uploaded releases. If you click on the model release radio-button, it opens more option and you can chose the release file to upload and put a name and a description for it.

Hope it can help

hi Brian,

My images were transferred from SV and much of the SV keywording is rather horrendous. Many images lack the most basic words and the keywording overall is very inconsistent. One of my images has a whopping two keywords assigned to it. Not to mention it indicates a missing description on every image. Will Veer be reprocessing our images to transfer IPTC?

I'm also missing thumbs but I take it these just haven't be processed yet.

kind regards

I've encountered a different problem. 

After the end of entering tax info, etc., there was a prompt to change my password.  I changed it, and now I can't login.  I have also requested that my password be emailed, just in case there was a double typo, but a note pops up saying there is a problem retrieving the data.  Is there a problem, or does it just take a while for the password changing process to implement itself?

I submitted my 10 for review...just waiting to see if I get in!!

It was pretty instant when I changed mine.

Hmm.  Well...I called customer service, and they reset my password.  That worked, so I changed it to what I would normally use, and I'm still having the same problem.  At least it recognizes my email address this time...just not the password.  So, I guess it's time to send an email.  Ugh.

UPDATE: Veer truncates long passwords, and only allows a maximum of 8 characters.  I had 20 characters.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL: We are not supposed to call customer service, because they do not handle Marketplace accounts.  To reach them, we need to send emails to marketplacesubmissions@veer.com

Bah. I like it all except the keywords that came with the images transferred from Snapvillage are pretty poor. Sadly the quickest way to fix this is to probably delete all my images and re-upload them with the IPTC data. 

I think I'll wait to see how picky they are on rejections before I delete all my files. (if you can even do that?)

went through the change details thing which end with w8. some of the names were links but it you clicked them the just restarted that part of the signup? I gave up and just went to account

edit found my problems,  open in new tab just brings up the page again need to just click

so I look around (i do like the humour) dashboard yep all ok, profile page ok, where are sales listed?
  

ALL 10 of mine got REJECTED!!!!!!

come on and all for the same reason!  but nothing to do with the images

"Blur / focus problems. Also improper image editing on 'Red rose with engagement ring'. "

but they are not all the same subject



I think I got a bad review!!!!

Hi massman -

Thanks for rerporting this.
I'll PM you to get the details. This definitely sounds like an error.

We'll be diving into investigate this issue now.
