Author Topic: images accepted, sold, then rejected (Read 4072 times)

I don't want to mention the web site, but has anyone experienced image(s) accepted, they sell 1/2 dozen times over a 2-3 week period, then they are removed with the explaination that their original approval was "an accident"? (it is a big 6 site).

...not seen this before and awaiting explanation of what "accident" means...a stoned reviewer...keyboard was dirty...

?

Right, the same thing happened to me. The files were removed, then put back. Am not sure if my email to the site had anything to do with them reactivating the files. I did recieve that "accident" email concerning their removal a few days later.

kind of crazy . . . .

if the images had not sold in that window, it might not concern me. But when they start removing images that are quickly generating income (for BOTH of us), I fail to see any business logic... oh well..it IS an unusual business : )

This could make sense if the reason for rejection was a trademark infringement or similar.

have had images taken, sold for a couple years and then removed... but they were Vegas strip shots and the new mgt removed them as evidently everything on the strip is now proprietary.. no biggie, I can dig it. But never.... "ah..we ah..had an accident..like....ah,. whoa dude, I hit the wrong button....ah.... " LOL Thats a good one!
