Author Topic: Review times at Crestock slowing down? (Read 6310 times)

Has anyone else been experiencing slower than average review times for your uploads at Crestock? I've been uploading there for about 6 months and it usually only takes a few days for them to be reviewed. With my last batch I've been waiting over two weeks. Sent them an email and haven't received a response yet.

Ditto.

I've had pending stuff since about Sept. 18. Strangely enough, they approved a few images almost immediately after I uploaded them, but the majority of the images I've uploaded in the past three weeks remain untouched.

I am still boycotting them until they raise the measly $0.25 subs commission. There are too many sites paying me much more for subs downloads and with higher monthly earnings. It is a shame, because I like crestock but the line has to be drawn somewhere.

My last batch of images took almost a month before being reviewed, even after a couple of e-mails.

My list of pending images is getting longer there too. I have some that have been pending for almost three weeks now. They used to be much faster than this.

My last batch from some time back in 2007 has been reviewed already and my 25 cents keep dripping in once in a while. I've been wondering if I should worry about the review times at Crestock or go out for a beer, and concluded that the beer will do me more good

It just happened to me again: I uploaded six images and four were approved almost instantly.

We're currently dealing with a large queue of images, as quickly as possible. We're experiencing an influx of images, although we are still striving to give every image the fair amount of time for inspection. Our apologies for the current delays, we're implementing strategies to help decrease the waiting times now.

I've not seen any specific emails about waiting times, but hopefully the waiting times will decrease shortly.

Thanks!

still epixx, as sharpshot said , with that "measly $0.25 subs commission"... we will need a lot more of sub sales to pay for your pint of beer

Out of 14 stock sites, this is the only one I still haven't seen any reviews on, I uploaded around the 29th of september

Hope it's worth it all.

Last week i send crestock a email about the review time! I have illustrations for Halloween pending since 24 of September that i now that is impossible to sell this year! I understand that you have problems and a lot of images to review. But i think that you must have the sensitivity to review specific images that are seasonal first! In my case i must wait until next year to sell this illustrations!

I have an illustration that is Christmas / winter related, that has been in the queue for I don't even remember how long. At least a month, though. If it stays there much longer, there won't be any sales for this one either. At least not this year. I really like the way the Crestock uploading process works, but the long review times are really disappointing. I hope Crestock can sort this out.
