I've given up on new uploads. Just too much work with little reward.

I never bothered with them after seeing their website, and hearing of the difficulties with uploading. I often wondered if I was right not to try them, but watching their rapid decline on the Poll Results makes me thinks they were never worth being with in the first place.

Thanks for confirming it tab62 and steheap

1. Because you are bored and just love to have another site which is difficult, cumbersome and time wasting to upload.
2. You do not need the money and a sale every second month is acceptable.
3. You like searching to find out which of your images where sold (makes it so much more exciting).
4. You love to wait a month for reviews and rejections without reason, it is like a box of chocolates........
5. Waiting at least a month to two months just raise the excitement level that much more.

Hope I convinced you  ;)

there is actually a batch process for files..and I don't paste the main keywords option, skip the categories..just submit all.

so if all your files are keywords ready then just a few clicks... much better than dreamstime, istock, that require to spend time to move your files repeatedly and then rejected for similar, composition..blah blah.

I do make a few illustrations once a while there, and it seems only that few illustrations who had repeated sales, but my photos which is not produced in studio type isn't really selling in panthemedia.

For illustrations, it accepts only jpg..
