i have 6 images in the queue since 9 July, ant hte latest aproved take more than 2 months also, ridicullous.

they are still processing the huge "dash for cash" queue, hope review times will improve once that q is over

however sales are slowly but constantly improving, that's what matters most to me; not bad for a "new" site

Brian is off today so I'll jump in.  He posted an update on this topic on Friday.  Check it out here:  http://www.microstockgroup.com/veer-marketplace/dash-for-cash-editing-and-payment-update

so it seems i´m the only one around here with less sales than before. my graph shows a sinking line.

It is kind of discouraging. I have a batch of images waiting for review since July 6th! 

Quick OT question before I start uploading: is it possible to disable single images at any time or are they locked for a certain time like they are at Dreamstime for instance?

Thanks very much! 

Dark Angel,
I think I know the answer - yes, you can. There's no image lock-in at Veer. You're free to delete your port anytime you want to.
But just to make sure, will you wait a couple of hours for an official reply?
I don't want to give you the wrong information  

Don't overlook Veer, give them a try. If you can  
It's a special agency with generous commissions and increasing sales.
They're part of Corbis, giants of the industry, but unlike Getty, they're fair.
Well worth the effort.

But there's a problem that you should know of. Right now inspection times can be very long. Veer is aware of this, they're training new inspectors and working to improve it.
It will get better, I'm sure

Looks like they'll be done with the D4C soon... had over 100 images accepted this week from the last week of June. They must be pushing hard to lower the inspection times so that it doesn't turn off new contributors. Maybe. Sales were up every month, but not so good in September for me. I even had a couple of commissions suddenly disappear a few days after the sale.. odd..

Well....I have bout 300 in que.  Most of them since early July.  Now it looks like early Nov before they are caught up....Ugh....

I guess what really kills me is that I did not know about the dash nor was a Veer contributor while that was going on.

So I hear all the great praise about the promotion,  get no sales from that, and have to keep waiting.  The only reason I keep uploading is that I have actually had a few sales on the 9 images that they DID accept as part of the application process....which bodes well if they ever get to processing my other images in que.

Yes that's my experience too... more artistic, creative shots for Veer.

Usually I've been severe against Veer, because of slowness in selection of images and batch rejections.
But lately I have to admit they're making the right steps (or maybe I'm a little bit influenced by the Dash for Cash thing: I am still not used to get money only for the fact I've had images accepted...)
Anyway, in the last days I've had some very good sale, one EL, and I see things are moving.
Hope that it's not for short time, like it happened in the past.

I disagree, they were swamped with uploads, I would much rather they took their time and reviewed all images properly.  Other sites have reduced the queue by rejecting most of the images in it, that's unprofessional.  Their review times were reasonable before they offered a bonus for uploading.  A few weeks or months isn't going to make much difference to images that should sell for years to come.
