Not that it would matter much or that I would notice a drop in sales

It looks like crestock goes down littel by little.
I wait over 6 Weeks of my requestet payout. Evern Crestock dosen´t apply new grafics of my for the same time. They are still waiting. I wrote 3 Mails to Crestock about my payment but no replay.

Today I can´t log in on crestock !

it loks like down. I just won´t to get back my money and then I will delet my works there. I feel really sad about the way how crestock handel there photographs. Does anyone got a mail back from crestock about there situation ?

leaf · « **Reply #4 on:** December 08, 2009, 17:59 »

well I have a payout request from Oct 19th so I think you will be waiting a few weeks if you only requested in November or late Oct

I don't think sending emails will help. They have said they are working on payout, but they are apparently very behind and working through the cue in order.

Am I next? can anyone beat Oct 19th as the earliest unfulfilled payout request date?

I'm wondering: Are they doing ANYTHING at crestock at the moment?

Can get to main page, but account log in never loads.

Oh are they alive? I thought they died

borg · « **Reply #10 on:** December 10, 2009, 14:15 »

I can't upload there... Upload stops after few minutes...

jcpjr · « **Reply #11 on:** December 10, 2009, 14:30 »

I'm beginning to think they only have one person working there

...I posted 3 images for review months ago to see if they will be approved or just be rejected like most of the others. I swear I have a 95% rejection rate there. I've email support 3 times over the last 6 months to close my account to no avail...it appears to be routine there. Not very professional or organized in my opinion. I don't rant or speak ill of any MS that I contribute to because I know how difficult this business can be but, I think CS needs to wake up or reorganize.

Why not buy one of your photos so you can get a payout if you are worried?

Even still, it might take quite a while for them to process the payment request. I've only been waiting something like 2 weeks now, and there's some that have been waiting for a lot longer than me.

sharpshot · « **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2009, 04:18 »

Can someone please tell me why they are still uploading there when they haven't paid us for months? You might be grateful of a high rejection rate if the site disappears overnight. Until they pay me, I have zero confidence in them.

yep, unless something changes, I'm guessing you have about 2 months to wait for your money.

sharpshot · « **Reply #17 on:** December 11, 2009, 04:55 »

I can't find the date of my first unpaid payout request but I think it was around 29th September. I see one person in the forum that has been waiting for 4 months.

I think you can see it here

sharpshot · « **Reply #19 on:** December 11, 2009, 07:29 »

That shows the dates of my previous payouts that have been paid but I can't see when I made my last 2 requests that haven't been paid.

sima · « **Reply #20 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:40 »

I deleted my portfolio few months ago,but Crestock is still selling my photos without my permission!Be careful with this agency!

Yes, they have shown some activity in the past weeks: the files I submitted in september are refused and now only my christmas files are pending. I haven't uploaded for the past months but checked them yesterday to see if they alreaded rejected my other files

sima · « **Reply #22 on:** December 13, 2009, 09:26 »

My advice is to close account and go.They are rejecting over 90% of photos, prices are ridiculous and also they are not paying to contributors.....I had about 900 or so photos and I closed account .Before I was fighting for payment.There ignorance to contributors is problematic, I was sending mails without answers and also I was complaining at Crestock forum.And I still have a problem, they sold two of my pictures after closing of my account!

sharpshot · « **Reply #23 on:** December 15, 2009, 18:21 »

I received both my payments at last.

graficallyminded · « **Reply #24 on:** December 15, 2009, 18:43 »

Amazing, Sharpshot - that's good news, at least. Can't wait til mine go though. Another few weeks and I might have enough to have 3 payments pending.

microstockinsider · « **Reply #25 on:** December 16, 2009, 17:52 »

I also received part payment yesterday (they still owe me more). I really do hope they survive.

It's such a nice site, and tightly edited collection (and yes uploads and everything else works fine for me).

Other than having very high standards, and putting current payment problems aside I don't really see what crestock has done wrong? Especially when compared to certain other bigger agencies who threat their photographers like something they trod on and stuck to the bottom of their shoe.

borg · « **Reply #26 on:** December 30, 2009, 10:19 »

Does anybody have this upload problem on Crestock...?

I can't upload any picture any more...

Says "upload done", but there is no any of my photos on the submit page...

Also I have 73 pending images for a couple of months there....

Snufkin · « **Reply #27 on:** December 30, 2009, 12:37 »

I can't believe there are stil people who upload to crestock

This is so funny

I think you should donate your earnings from other sites to crestock

Apparently their profit margin was also very tight. Too tight.
Hopefully their business model will prove unsustainable and they won't drive commissions down in the market anymore.
High standards and low commissions - do they deserve to survive?

They do have a very good-looking interface, but their business model sucks big time.

Paying just 0.25$ for "prime" photos and ignoring requests to close down portfolio perhaps?
(and I had an approval ratio of 70%, so it's not vengeance)

After several business-sounding but ignored requests to close my port down, I had to scorn them on their forum and here to make it finally happen. Sorry, but thanks.
