Microstock Group - A meeting place for microstock photographers

Xalanx- we do not quote review times at present. Usually it's a reasonable amount of time.

Nata- Direct from the model release upload screen: "The advanced upload option allows you to upload multiple files and files of large size while also providing transfer status. One limitation of this option is that you will need to add descriptions or other release-related data after the file has been uploaded by by clicking 'Edit' on each file."     
 - you need to add a description for the release forms. I guess this would be an extra step if you already used descriptive filenames for your release files, but some people don't: we need a way to reference the releases in an organized manner. I will get it on our to-do list to get changed so the original filename is at least referenced in the dropdown, it would be more helpful for sure.

As for rejections, as always, you are encouraged to post any examples you think may have inappropriately reviewed.  'Sold elsewhere' is not a specific review criteria for us.

Congrats! I'll be following closely with sales, as soon as they finish reviewing my photos since some 5 days ago. 

Well then let's hope they last. I like the prices they put on my images.

Thanks for the nice words.

Currently it's not programmed in but if you simply send a note via the support system to hold payments we would have no problem retaining the funds until you want to get paid. 

I had quite some sales on Mostphotos too, April-May last year, when everybody had about the same rank. Nothing since then, but my rank is still around 50 and yours around 1030. That means you've spent a lot of energy on commenting and stuff. That's no critique by any means but it illustrates the fact that the social networking, grooming and shoulder-tapping aspect there is more important than the intrinsic value of the photos to get on the front page (and sell).

Cutcaster is OK but I feel the few sales there are just random hits by a very limited buyers base.

FeaturePics was very OK till half last year, then came to a sudden stop for me. Like any similar oddity, it probably has to do with the search engine. On some sites, you are the search engine's darling and you don't know why. On others, you just don't get airborne.

Zymmetrical: better than all 4 for me the past year, considering I just uploaded 1/2 of my port. But 2/3 of my sales there are people shots in situation, not (except 1) in studio set-up. It might be portfolio-dependent. Just wait and see who will survive. For them it's as tough as for us to survive in a market with too many suppliers.
