I dont want to say. My strategy is classified.

I only wish I could reach my limit!

My limit is 30.000 USD in any 90 days period. I can only dream to reach even half of it!

(you get larger limit if  you verify your credit card, bank account, and address)

It is not some virtual limit, it is clearly shown on My Account first page. just look better.

You know what some woman say about a man with big feet Peter.

best,
AVAVA

I know what women who spent night with me say, and thats what counts 

I usualy got accepted almost everything. But today, I got rejected 10 out of 10 in a batch. Reason - dust on subject that I shoot. They were right, there were few dust particles, but not that much...

But it is a good thing. I whish SS raise the bar a lot. I mean, 60.000 new images every week?! No wonder we have low sales. I remember last year, 20.000 new images per week, sales were much better. So I look at tougher standards as a positive thing, not negative at all.

Merry Christmas everybody! This has been a nice year. But I am afraid of what 2009 will bring... 

congrats!

I wonder what type of audio files stock market wants. What for? What is the use for them? Is it sound effects for cartoons, or real music?

Dear god, how tall are u Peter 

197 cm tall. I really do wear size 51 (US16, UK15, 34 centimeters ). It was real problem for me to find footwear in my local stores, until I discovered ebay!

Basketball players wear even larger, 53, 54... (US 18, 19...). So I am a small fish....  And yes, I love swimming, but I dont do it professionaly 

I also used the oportunity and bought some 4GB OCZ DDR2-1066 RAM from ebay (that will work perfectly with my new Intel Core2Quad Q6600 which I also got from ebay few days ago ), and Nike shoes (size US16 EU 51, because I cant find my size in local stores, ebay is my best friend when it comes to shoes purchase )

yeah. This is my bookmark that I visit every day

I have 4 friends doing microstock, and I never heard such thing as MB is taking a fee for receiving money. Never. Maybe your account is some special kind, or something.

EF 28-105 f3.5-4.5 USM II is not bad lens at all.

Are there people who still use IE?! Firefox rulz. hhh

Since I delete those, I noticed I sell a lot more older images, ones that hardly ever sell. Maybe that coincidence, but I am happy with my "new" cleaner portfolio. I am sorry I dont have the time to do the same thing on other sites. 

Number of views stayed the same as it was before cleanup. So I dont lack any views.

total body count: 2300 images deleted.  I am done with cleanup. Finaly.

borg, I get payed directly from MB to my Visa card, and payment is without any bank fees (only MB takes 2.4$), and money arrive always in 3 work days. At contrary, when I withdraw on bank account, bank takes about 6$ fee (and MB 2.4$), and it takes a little longer, 4-5 workdays to arrive. So it is best to withdraw from MB directly to Visa card. At least in my bank (Raiffeisen Bank).

And my Visa and bank accounts are separate, two different accounts. Sometimes I withdraw on bank account if it is larger amount (there is limit of 500eur per transaction on Visa!), but if it is less than 500 I withdraw to Visa directly, it arrives in 3 days, and no fees from bank. MB is perfect for me.

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.

what about paypal protection program? they can give your money back, if you payed via paypal.

I got over 100 things on ebay (including Canon EF 70-200 f4L IS and Canon EF 100 f2.8 MACRO lenses), without any problems. Only once package was lost and seller gave me refund.

mine reviewed yesterday.

no, you are wrong. Every time you get cache from ATM machine, they will charge you a fee. When I withdraw money to my Visa card from Moneybookers, in my local bank, I dont pay anything when I buy in shops or take cache on ATM... and I would have to pay a fee every time I use my payoneer master card. I dont want that. It would be better if payoneer coud transfer money to my own local credit card, or bank accout. This way it is like using credit card in different country. Every time you make a purchase somewhere or take a cache on ATM it will charge you 2.15$ if you use payoneer mastercard. MB charges me only 2.4$ per transaction on my Visa card (bank does not take anything), and I can use as often as I like, without any fees.

So, MB takes 2.4$ ONCE! when I do withdraw, and payoneer take 2.15$ EVERY time I cache out on ATM! Plus 3$ per month. MB has clearly smaller fees.

of course they dont. agencies are racing between themselves which one will have more mages online. 

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.

seems OK now, my new images are showing (and selling). StockXpert is getting better and better. It just raised on #4 on my list. nice.

I deleted 1.600 images, which were old and ugly, non selling, with poor views. So I delteted about 17% of my FT portfolio (about 7500 images left), and we will see how this affects my 7 days ranking (which is the best parameter to watch).  I havent finished with cleanup, I have about 500 more to delete, but I will make a pause a month or two, so I can monitor my status, and see what happens.

you have to activate it at the top

no, no, I mean, there is preview, but no zoom. you can not zoom to full size (part of image visible) like you can on many other sites.

are you expiriencing slow reviews? I have about 100 files pending since 7 days ago...
