Hi Everyone

It's been a very long time since I have submitted anything to Fotolia. What are their review times usually like? I'm just wondering as I submitted some stuff to them on 2-26 but they're still listed as pending.

2 days

Last ones.. less 24 hours... and far as I remember never send a box of whiskey to them.

After all, any agency have bad and good periods over review time.

Metsafile · « **Reply #3 on:** February 28, 2012, 12:10 »

From 1 to 48 hours at the most.

How's this for review time:

SS => 24/2
123RF => 24/2
DT => 20/2 yup

This is probably related to IS exlcusives going independent.
FT should normaly take a day or so mate, have fun.

Update: FT images that were pending since yesterday have just been approved so there you go.

Less than 24hrs for review, but lately it then takes about a year for them to be viewed by any buyers!

Funny, I never get the "new image" sales that everyone reports on other sites but often get a whole batch of new submissions snapped up immediately on FT.

On topic, FT seems to have the fastest reviews - I have had approvals in the middle of submitting...

Me too! Approval of the first image before I finished submitting the last one of a batch of 20! Gave me the feeling of being chased!

My photos have been waiting for a week or so and nothing is happening yet. Also I received no replies to questions from customer support regarding something else. I am relatively new there but I'm a little disappointed.

Usually about 10-20 minutes

Mine are usually reviewed in a matter of hours but have had some for a day and a half now.

Exactly the same here. I think it's the first time I've ever experienced a review time this long at Fotolia

Must have something to do with your ratings, approval ratio, or they are very selective. I am used to waiting for more than a week to get my images reviewed.
(Vectors however within a few minutes normally)

ThomasAmby · « **Reply #13 on:** March 27, 2012, 09:03 »

I always thought it had something to do with the different types of media submitted. Vector people were reporting short review times and photos took longer

OM · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2012, 04:57 »

Couple of weeks ago i had some images reviewed in minutes and now I have 4 or 5 images waiting since the weekend.
On FT forum others report the same extended wait and I see that the new images page still has the same first images as on Saturday/Sunday. Maybe the questionnaire is keeping them occupied.

gemmy12 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 28, 2012, 05:02 »

seems they are turning their site up side down after survey lol

Dantheman · « **Reply #16 on:** March 28, 2012, 05:23 »

I uploaded some images yesterday and all of them were reviewed within half an hour

Carl · « **Reply #17 on:** March 28, 2012, 08:31 »

My experience is inexplicably different. I'm accustomed to long review times and slow sales on FT. I uploaded images eight days ago that are still in the que. Additionally, without a bulk edit capability, it's a PITA to upload. FT is low priority for me.

fotogal · « **Reply #18 on:** March 28, 2012, 10:50 »

8 days and still waiting.....

CD123 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 28, 2012, 12:27 »

Upload from 19th start to get reviewed now. 2 Younger batches still in the queue.

ThomasAmby · « **Reply #20 on:** March 28, 2012, 13:13 »

Wow this is weird. Just uploaded two images and the first one is already approved - 1½ minutes. GOT to be a new record

fotogal · « **Reply #24 on:** March 29, 2012, 17:52 »

Yes, one reviewed and accepted on day 9, still have quite a few in the queue - but why do some get reviewed within a couple of days, hours even?
