12 days for me.  My first batch ever - pretty disheartening!  First impression: not so great.

I'll second that on both counts.  I believe mine were uploaded on the 17th.  Can't tell how sales are since I don't have any images active.   :'(

My sales have been terrible there for the last 12 days - down at least 60%.

Terrible review times but great sales :)

My best month there so far and I haven't uploaded as much as usual this month.

The good news is a second portion of my batch from the 18th has finally been reviewed (one portion had been reviewed within hours).  The bad news is almost all were rejected plus they missed one.

Yeah, I posted on their forum. I'm 17 days out now, but I don't want all of them rejected for 'thanks, but we don't need' crap. We now know that there is one person that does almost all reviews and they were gone for two weeks. Rejecting everything is the easiest way to get caught up and from posts I have seen that is what is happening.

I'd rather wait than have 2-3 weeks work thrown out.

LOL.  I don't think they are rejecting.  All of mine were approved, but I only about had about 18 waiting.   And I'm pretty accustomed to rejections.

I don't understand when agencies grabb everything you've uploaded at once, rather than doing it in sequence of the batches that come in.. but oh well - there must be a reason.

I got an orange dot storm on StockXpert (all saying thank we are not looking for such image)so I don't think I will be uploading until things gone back to normal...

It's been over a week for me in some photos.  :(

Awesome & congrats !! - I've already had 5 DL's today at StockXpert with a much smaller port than your 573 new images. I think you will have some good sales once your images start appearing in the search defaults!!

Good luck  ;D

Perrush,

Nice images. I see you don't have Extended Licensing enabled. Not sure if this is on purpose. Some people simply miss this option, so I thought I'd point it out.

After 13 days, images were reviewed (and approved!)

Sales are doing well for me and if they keep the current trend it may be my BME there (knock on wood!)

I have Extended Licensing enabled but haven't had one yet.  I get them on other sites, so find this a bit strange.  Hope it is just a quirk and my EL's with StockXpert catch up with the other sites.  Can't complain about the other sales, StockXpert are great.

Tnx steve for pointing this out.  Although I had just enabled it them myself  :D

Wow, a 100% approval rate on 573 images ... that's quite something.
Way to go Perrush, I hope your sales are equally fantastic!

dbvirago

I have batches going back to the 19th with un-reviewed images in them, but I have rejectons as late as yesterday. My last approval is before this. In each day's batch spanning 2+ weeks, there are one or two rejections with the rest still greyed out, and every single rejection is the same, 'please improve cropping.' IN some cases, the cropping could be subjective, but in others it looks pretty arbitrary. If I have  a subject in the middle of a neutral field, it's not a cropping problem. Composition and cropping aren't necessarily the same thing.

I hope somone is actually looking at these and not just trying to clear the que in a hurry. I've never had partial batches reviewed before, and now I have dozens.

This doesn't look right.

Partial reviews of batches ... that's bizarre. I just checked my StockXpert submissions to see if I had any partial reviews ... nope.
