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.

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....

I can't believe there are stil people who upload to crestock ;D This is so funny  ;D :P
I think you should donate your earnings from other sites to crestock  :P

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.
Money won't make you happy.
