Title: how long is the wait?
Post by: ChrisGardinerPhotography on May 16, 2016, 18:04

I decided to give 123RF a try. never started a portfolio there for whatever reason..

just curious if anyone knows how long the wait is right now? i've uploaded a batch of 800 images but can't tell if they've entered the queue yet or not, its not the most intuitive process IMO.  They all (95%) have keywords and captions intact in the JPEGs. Do I need to do anything else to them to get them in front of a reviewer? They seem to be sitting in 'incomplete' section for at least two weeks now.

Its`ok, you have to wait... The tagged clips are showed as pending, in the incomplete section. But it will be reviewed....after a couple of weeks.

I nearly always have to email them. Once I do that my work is reviewed within days. Honestly, I can't recall the last time I logged in and saw my work reviewed without me intervening.

It is now 3 months for footage clips for me. The sales are very very poor compaired to the same volume on the other sites, I think it will be my last batch

Send them a message. At least that was how I got them to review my images, after 4 weeks of waiting.

thanks for sharing your experiences.  very helpful.
The first batch of 200 went through in about a week (after I contact their support) but was hoping I don't have to do that every time. lol.

I submitted a couple batches of editorial images on April 14th and they were reviewed on May 6th - 22 days later.  I submitted a few batches of normal RF on April 15th and they still have not been reviewed.  I have been deliberately not sending them a message to see how long it will take - will do that after 6 weeks.  Won't bother to submit anything else though until they get the current queue cleared up.
