soudns like unbelievable but some of my images accepted in 2 minutes later upload. I think this will be my fastest review time whole my microstock life...

Crazy! :)

I had even better with them (around month ago). Uploaded with ftp, (here is a caveat) waited some time, went to the site, pressed 'process ftp uploads (or whatever it is called there)' (all of them were still sitting sitting in upload place).
Browser transfer to the next page - and I see mix of pending, approved and rejected. Page refresh - and _no pending_. Assigned release to a photo rejected for missing one, returned back - and it was _already_ approved.

Seems like either a) a lot of quick reviewers pre-reviewing files as soon as they can see first several bytes of it, or b) somebody made a really good progress in AI research :)

Yes, you have to be careful with 123.  Sometimes they reject for model releases and you haven't even had a chance to attach them.   LOL, I'm complaining about efficiency!

Have never had the lightning fast turnaround, but it is very unusual when they are not approved overnite. Sales even picking up there for me which is nice.

I don't understand ... how can they be so fast with standard reviews, and be so slow with reviewing the first batch of 10 ?  I submitted my 10 test-images on the 20th ... still waiting ...
that's almost 3 weeks now!

Most of the time the contributor neglects to send us their ID, this is true for the first initial upload. So do upload your ID and we'll approve your Contributor account and start to review your submissions right away. Also bear in mind that the MINIMUM amount of images you should submit for the initial review is 10!

Please follow the instructions below to start the ID upload process.

   1. Log into 123rf.com
   2. Go to photographers -- Upload Images
   3. On the right hand side you'll see: Click here to submit your ID for verification
   4. Click the link and upload your ID.

We accept documents such as your driver's license, identity cards, passports, or any other form of Government issued identification, with your photo on it as valid IDs. Scan your ID (or use your camera, if you prefer to) and save it into a JPG format. Do crop out the necessary bits only and as long as it's legible we'll accept it.

Alternatively, you can click on this link: https://www.123rf.com/submit/submit_id.php after you have logged in, it will bring you to the upload ID page directly. The upload process is fast and secure. We have taken all necessary steps to ensure your ID is safe with us.

Thank you, hope to receive your ID soon and we bid you a warm welcome to 123RF.com.

Yes, we reject for MR, but please go to the release section and make sure you choose
"Rejected for missing/incomplete MR" and then start attaching your releases.

Once you've done that, the images should go back to the pending queue and we will review it once more.

So no worries, just follow the instructions, if the queue is stuck, do let us know, we'll unplug it for ya.

Alex.

I DID send my ID three weeks ago, and it was a copy of my very valid Belgian idendity card.

OK, I'll do it again.
