Will it be released to the rest of this any time this year? Or next?

I hope soon but...we already know  what does it mean "soon" for Panthermedia...

I'm uploading on PM right now...more than 80 images...long and hard work. Sometime I would like to stop for a while and wait the new upload system.
But i don't have a clue about the release date, so I'm afraid to be stuck for long time and I prefer keep uploading.
Maybe I've to be more brave and stop.
My trust in PM is going down and I feel sorry for this.
PLEASE give us a real answer, have we to wait for days,weeks or years?
Thanks.

I'm not prepared to do that any more. If they can't keep promises about a new upload system, how can they keep promises about marketing?

It has been 10 months since the news about the new uploading system came out ...... and if I read right it was 2-4 weeks it will be 52 weeks I think when it is launched, I'm really looking forward to seeing it because my images keep getting piled up as there is no way to upload fast to the site

thanks for the update Robert

OK so I just went and looked at what's left of my account, one photo, which has one view in over a year. The removed photos had the same dismal exposure. Probably not the right material or place for it. Editorial took a month or more to get reviewed and I was asked for releases for that? Property releases for Editorial?

Looking at the photographer FAQ I see this:

How many images may I upload?   ID28

Your upload to the stock agency is generally not restricted. If your rejection rate is higher than 30%, we need to restrict your upload to 2 images per day. Upload to the photocommunity is restricted to
- 1 image/day (test member)
- 2 images/day (standard member)
- 3 images/day (premium member)

Somehow I can't figure that out vs the 80% in the message above? Someone needs to change the FAQ to whatever it really is.

You charged me a fee to open my account and charged a higher amount than what you said you would charge.

Good luck Panther.

They charge a measly couple of cents (less than a buck for me) to open up a paypal account for some weird reason. It's absolutely no big deal.

Hmmm.... RacePhoto what are you talking about? Are you stopping with PantherMedia? What did they charged? For what? I thought only Getty Images charges ;-)

See below they charge something like 54 cents which instead came through as a higher amount. Just silly that they charge at all to open an account so they can pay us. Yes, it's a minor point, but so is the FAQ with wrong information, months for reviews, asking for a release for editorial shots, or an announced upgrade in July that takes until March.  Go ahead write and ask a question, and then in two or three weeks, if you are lucky, you might get a response.

Did I mention that I've decided that what I'm trying to sell is in the wrong market, which takes no reading between the lines. It's not their fault, it's my subjects and materials. When some files are up for a year and have 0 or 1 view, it's apparent, it's not what the buyers are looking for. That's not the fault of Panther.

I have a 4,47 commission and I'm trying to figure out how to spend it and close out. I had already deleted the file and then I got a credit for the sale. Wait, deleted file sold? That's mysterious? Everything on Panther seems to be in some sort of time warp.

Whatever, they appear to be trying to expand and improve and maybe Panther will make it as one of the top group some day? I hope they do well and wish everyone who sends them photos, the best. But mine won't be there for the simple facts. No views, no sales!

You pay up front to open a paypal payment channel with them. I'm actually starting to like Panther now that I have quite a few things up.

You pay up front to open a paypal payment channel with them.

No way. I never pay upfront for "storage". They won't even get my Paypal before I would be close to payout. That's ridiculous.

I really don't see what the big deal is though, its literally just a few cents and your done

If it isn't a big deal, why do they do it then?  I never gave my Paypal on any site till I'm close to payout. And of what I read here, not many reach that payout on PM. I have a merchant Paypal account and there are no costs involved sending money to it. If ever. If it's "just a few cents", well then it's not worth mentioning for them too. It sounds like scam: attract many contributors that never will reach payout and keep 50 c from each of them. Too much fuzz about nothing. I don't pay upfront to any site with such deplorable commissions as 30%. They can deduct the "few cents" from their 70% share. SS asked me nothing upfront, and neither did DT, IS, 123RF, FT, etc...
