Good questions!

What is your ratio between these two data: Vs/DLs

I think that is one of the best measure to compare  our portfolios....

Mine:

FT:74 (1 month before about 100)
IS:137

Does this mean we can re upload the images without penalty? I submitted 4 images isolated on white and they were all rejected for poor lighting.

Here's one of the 4 on Fotolia. http://us.fotolia.com/id/11030503

If you can see the problem please fill me in because I'm at a loss.




Same to me!

In 90 % my rejection reason is "poor lighting",never noise...

Borg, I heard that there is someone on SS who rejects almost everything. And it's not the first time. Simillar thing happened before. But contributors made huge thread about it on SS forum, and the problem was solved quickly ;)

I hope it was solved!

Because FT is baby for SS for now!  :D

Thanks white!

6/6 rejected yesterday, but they were poor shots so I'm happy if they raise the quality standards.

I hope!

But my record is 13/13 100% REJECTED

FT rejected 4/13, IS 3/13, DT 2/13 form same batch...

Have you noticed an explosion of rejections of images almost to 100%...

My personal record of rejected photos 13/13, yesterday 3/6, today 5/5...
Only in December...

My approval rate(till now) about 80-90 %...

On their page is "loud and clear", NO FEE for receive money to MB...

Commercial purpose is when somebody buys something from you or when you sell something and buyer pays directly to you...
These are all that  commercial advertisements on the homepage.

Microstock only use MB for money transfer...

« on: December 17, 2008, 08:28 »
I have been dropping like a rock in the weekly rankings.  I expect my overall ranking will drop as well.  Don't know why all of a sudden their buyers don't like my pics anymore?
It is a first sign of overdose of Christmas  .. Will be better in January ... :P

MB dont charge me anything when I receive the money! When I pull a 100$ from fotolia for example, I get 100 dollars on my MB account, no fee is taken. Only fee is when I try to withdraw, and it is 2.4$, and If I withdraw on my Visa card, my bank dones not take any fees from me. (If I withdraw to bank account, my bank take 6$ for every transaction, but not on Visa card!)

I will stick with MB as long as it is availabe, because it is easy, cheap, and best way to get your money, and use it when I want, and how I want.

Hi Peter!

I only make withdraw on my bank account till now!
But, my Visa Electron is directly connected to that bank account, both numbers are on the same Visa card (bank account and Visa number)...
MB offers my choices where to withdraw, basic that is the same account in Euros
What you think, will I get money without bak fee if I withdraw only with Visa number information!?

Please give us some link, now I am confused.
If you are right, then I will order my Payoneer card immediately...

But, I didn't find anything about INPUT FEE to receiving money on the MB.
You are right for double exchange conversion, but on my transaction history I have only fee for withdraw, not for receive...

This is from FAQ:

What does it cost to receive a payment?
Receive Money: FREE
Request Money: FREE

http://www.moneybookers.com/app/help.pl?s=fees

We need calculation: " For and Against" of both payments...

useless pretty much. you got to have their Master Card, and cashing in other country than US draws some aditional fees.... and if you dont use that card for 60 days, they close your account. moneybookers is still best solution.


This is not really a true. I really hate when Peter comment something and he didn't think about it :)
Fees are smaller than monybookers and I am from Croatia so monybookers is only solution for me also. I am receiving payments via Istock Payoneer and money is faster in your hands with smaller fee than moneybookers.
Using card means also inserting in ATM machine, entering pin and doing nothing. I check this with local ATM provider. It is register as transaction. I also use this in the beginning when I didn't have regular payouts. So 60 days is no problem.

And I asked, yes you can have one card for all agencies that means less fee. When you registering via DT you have small link on the Payoneer web site on top right corner for ones who already have card.

Dario


Dario I am also from Croatia!

I pay withdraw on MB 1,8   and after that Bank calculate "the cost of inflows of money" about 1,05 ...
So 2,85 from microstock agencies to my bank account...

But, it's cute to have payoneer card!  ;)
Also it's good to have more choice for payment...

P.S.
Lee put fees for IS on his site:

I agree with hoi ha. I have a friend who is a buyer. And he told me that he doesn't really care if image is IS exclusive or not. He doesn't think IS exclusivity is very important to buyers because he often looks at few other sites to find what he need. He said that he otfen can't find what he needs in IS. He is just a buyer and he is not very connected with world of microstock contributors. He just login into agencies and searches what he needs. When I asked him does he thinks that images on IS are best on the market, he told me what I think when I say "best images". He didn't notice any big difference in quallity. When I explained to him what I mean when I say "best" images, he told me that he thinks images are good enough technically if they pass inspection on any site, so technical quality doesn't bother him mush. He just looks if image looks "nice" to him. He has account on IS, SS, and FT.
In the end he told me that exclusivity on IS doesn't look like something special to him if he cannot find what he needs among exclusive images. He told me that exclusive images on IS are not something class better, or something so special because there are many very similar images on every single site. Simply searching on these 3 agencies he decides what to buy. He doesn't care about exclusivity. It means nothing to readers of his magazine

Agree!

This will be trojan horse for IS,trust me!
