I'm still without possibility to edit, delete or even choose simple things as number pages... with any browser, in different pc's  I have more site bugs than sales, but still uploading to CanStockPhoto by the reasons posted on first page.

No, because it's a lot of work already to submit to 20+ sites and keep track of submissions. No need for more hassle, for a yet to verify possible advantage.
x2 ( less agencies - 13 )

If you have images that are successful at other sites, it is worth your time to upload to CS.
For me its far from true. Have some images that sells in Top Tier 4, middle, lower... and none sale at CanStockPhoto. More: These images are the least seen my portfolio ( less views ). So, it depends too, on which type of subjects You work.

Why ISO 800, when You could shot 1/250 or less ( OS?) for 230mm?
I have some dragonly macros and birds, and believe me: The saleability is extremly low. one sale for each file and over.
Wasn't You that "worked" on sports and such things? Why not editorial?

Upsss.. it's happening Last 2 batch's not appearing on search, gallery. But still getting sales... They are fixing it ( said on forum ) and already send an email with ID's

59 pictures? I'm with 355 and have 3 sales ( year no completed yet ). Even PM sells better than CS ( for me ). Hmm PM have something interesting.. Almost each view give me a sale.
As said, keep uploading, work with multiple agencies, and give my example. If in SS with 250 images i start see some regular sales, in low earners in need 5x more images to hit same volume of sales.
I will keep CS because it's easier submitting and good support. Probally, photos on hard disk will sell less...

maybe contact them and ask if you can be included in the direct transfer program from shutterstock. I know some large contributors get that option.
So far only best sellers get that "invitation": Possibility to upload do SS and be automatically on BS. As i said in earlier post somewhere, they will do it for all contributors. I still uploading for BS because believe that in future will have some kind of boost...

I would vote yes, but on second thought. "depends" would better response to my situation: beginner/links on signature. Basically i'm identified so, what is a confirmed confirmed identities? My real photo? I'm not using real name on nick, but easily anyone finds which agency's where i am ( forum links and some posts made earlier ). So, for critique and suggestions propose I'm already "confirmed" , but don't believe that means anything to "comissions&earnings war", mainly because my sales volume/portfolio so far. By other side, how identity help dialog between contributors? I've read somewhere here things like "What you know about? You don't have any height to talk about that.." or "Should discourage newbies"... and I bet many people starting at micro stock would prefer anonymity. Anyway I used to to be correct in any forum as I am directly with agency's or/and real life.

Mine situation is even worse. They never showed up anythwere. No sales or searchable what so ever. Just a poof, they disappeared after the approval emails. I have been sending emails to the supports but heard nothing back, it's been 3 days. Funny thing is that other batches approved the same day showed up normally and getting sales...
Same for me. Approval emails. Files disappear. And now after three days, I haven't seen the images anywhere.
(BTW, the images are/was editorial, does that have anything to do with the disappearance?)
Mine editorial ones are being processed faster than others: approved, for sale and one sale in less 24 hours

It's possible that i miss something earlier...
Although I opt-in PP on all agencies, something is bothering me regarding Pixmac:
a) There is some kind of criteria choosing which photos are available for partners? I ask it, because even without a "Dream Portfolio" ( so far... ) I have the worst images possible on sale at pixmac.
b) After a look at 1 post, it seems that most agencies cut off relations with Pixmac. The few images that I've on Pixmac, I am sure that some are only available on an ex-partner... If the partnership ended, the photos should not be removed?

Some images accepted on 10 October had already sales.. so it appears account issue rather than an site issue.

Doesn't work with FF 7.0.1 ... 
I'm start using it today on Chrome and it's working. One of the reasons to use 3 browsers is: One of them will work

Nah.. i get so confused that will only check 123RF earnings next year Sub is other image ( nothing to do with refunded one ) , thought that "Refund for another download" probally means client download wrong image (dunno). Numbers are ok now... but that isn't a great new so far.

Just wondering about "fair business":
- A customer buy my image ( direct download ).
- The customer wants to buy more pictures ( not necessarily mine ) but concludes that it is too expensive.
- Customers talk with agency and do a subcription.
- My image is changed from direct to sub.
- Client get more images for less money, Agency sell an sub and get more sales, more contributors get more sales... and I loose more than half of my image earming.
On this kind of "agreement", would be fair :
- Client could change his mind and buy a sub, but that same sub wouldn't cover earlier downloads.
- Client could include it on sub, but agency should pay an comission to contributor. Referral or not, client gone to agency because my image...
This line of thinking is too wrong?

the all refund is quite absurd! havent got many but have a few in all agencies (beside SS)! the buyer gets the picture and minutes later says no thanks  (but the picture in on his hd already)
Yeah. Somehow it's funny because other client like it ( like 2 others last month ). Now i'm really curious about is happening by now. As You see on image, all sales as "S". Now earnings pass from -0.01 to 0,36 ( should be 0.50 ) , but I have one "sub" sale just now.... my guess: Same client and same image Can go more lower than this ( I haven't that image on FT ufff )

I talk too much :  First was "refunded" one, and after some minutes get first 6 Oct sale... Anyway, is likely this we get when a client change his mind?
