I have an acceptance rate of about 85% at istock, SS, FT, etc. I just uploaded my first batch of 80 images following the approval of my initial submission at Panthermedia. They rejected about 45% of those 80 images including some images that sell almost daily at other sites. I'm quite shocked by this large rejection rate. Is this typical for Panthermedia?

It depends.
Overall I have a 68% acceptance rate at PM.
There are many images I have accepted and selling well at top sites that have been rejected at PM.

it's fairly typical, and the few sales generated arent worth the hassle

Hi leeavison, same here,
A few days ago I mailed them asking for the reason of those rejections and they answer me saying...
"It was a mistake to decline the photos" and they put them the green light.
Try it ,I hope you have the same luck.

Is anyone making regular sales from them? If so, what type of photos/Illustrations? Almost nil for me...

I had four ELs this month, one large and three smaller plus regular sales. I find PM a good agency and professionally run. No complaints.

you have me beat! I will continue to upload to them...

I had a 100% approval rate at PM but zero sales. Deleted my account.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try!
