So what about the vectors???

I think, we have to show differences for buyers – we have licensing policy without dividing images under one license (for example, S, L, XL and XXL sizes (and prices) under one (for example. Standard) license, we have 3 types of licenses – standard WEB, standard PRINT and EXTENDED with own prices ( the sizes of images for PRINT and EXTENDED are the same).
Chart of licenses
Also we have possibility for customers to buy only ONE image. (it is possible for logged user and for not logged , only price will slightly different).

This sounds almost exactly like Dreamstime.

They have a web license, a print license, and extended licenses.

They used to allow a non-registered user the ability to buy one image, but they just did away with that.

So I don't see how your plan differs that much from the rest of the industry.

Hopefully, you have more than just that alone...

I am sorry, but You have to upload Your vectors again. There was some bug in section of uploading vectors. Now everything is OK.

Hi Valerijs. One more bug, I noticed that when you try to sort by downloads the images in the "online" tab, nothing happens. You might wanna look at it.

Regards.

Another bug: I can only view the 1st page of the "my images" page. When i click the arrow or the number "2" nothing happens

Approvals still very slow. Half of images uploaded 2 weeks ago are still pending

I use Netscape and when I try to view my submitted images, I see only one (when the conection is slow, I see that in fact one is loading on top of the other).  That would force me to use IE, no big deal (I have to ue it for BigStock already), but something to be checked from the buyer's point of view.

Regards,
Adelaide

The site is currently down. From the main page, the pictures aren't available. When you click on a link, the URL seems to have an extra "www." It might be the one causing the problem. From the looks of things, Valerijs seems to be trying to address the bugs we have posted here.

Again two sales within two days, how nice :-) At least I am getting here more sales and money then at Bigstockphoto :-) and that with much less images..

Well I have finally joined Galastock.  Not sure hows link I followed.  My first batch got rejected but the second one all got accepted (I sumbitted them in order and the older ones are from my p&S camera and before I knew photoshop).

Are people still seeing sales?

another site with a 30 % royalty 
There are only two sites worth submitting to with anything lower than 50 %
Its in our best interest to avoid sites like galastock and lucky oliver

Yep! They have got the marketing and the sales to make it worthwhile.

Still sales,

Hopefully that will incerease soon.. yes sad that they only have 30%....

how is galastock to upload to?

As easy as FTP (ryhmes with 123).  then open each photo and select 1 category from a list of about 20.  Then delete keywords if you have more than 50 in EXIF.

so not as easy as luckyoliver then?...
I think lucky oliver has really hit the mark with how easy it is to upload to them.
hmmm... maybe I will test out a few images, but not too eager to add them yet.

thanks for the link but i am actually allready signed up, just haven't uploaded any images.

How are you finding the review time there, I still have some waiting since 5th September, and currently uploading to their limit of ten a day?

Uggggh! I thought I was waiting a long time (since the 9th), but now it looks like I have to wait longer. And I have an upload limit of only 5 per day. But I haven't been uploading anything new--waiting to see if the site takes off. Maybe this is a one man show and he's found out there's more to it than just putting up a site?

Jury is still out on this one, but it's looking less than a winner right now.

a 5 day/day limit ? yikes  not sure how they expect to grow with those sorts of limits.

My upload limit is 50/day and I am for sure not the world best photographer, perhaps the two of you should contact support???  SY

If I remember correctly, you were one of the first to upload to this site. I suspect (but can't prove) that as the amount of images coming in grew, the upload limit shrank in size so that now it's down to 5 per day. Even with that, they can't seem to get to the reviews.

I do think I'll contact support and see if I get any response. Will let y'all know if I hear anything.

On the site it says:

Image checking can take from 3 to 5 bussiness days

Maybe a bussiness day is about 7 times longer than a business day ?

Goes right along with the link to check out your "referals."

I did send an email to GalaStock support regarding the lengthy review time and tiny upload limit. No response yet (but it's been less than 24 hours), and my 35 images are still stuck in the review queue. 

Pat

I just checked and my upload limit is 20 per day.
