OMG they're rejecting even my new images downsized to 4MP, everything has poor lighting.
With these reviews you would think they sell your pictures for 25 dollars and not 25 cents.

We just had a really good month at CanStock selling video.  Much better than normal.  Then today I received an email from them telling me that all the still images I just uploaded were rejected for various reasons.  Never had that happen before.  Oh well, I think we made like $3 there this month selling images so I'm not gonna worry about it.

Yeah they are going SS on reviews now. Had a decent month there though, #4 earner in June.

ShadySue, I get only subs of course but SS is the same (98% of sales). I think it's better to take everything and let sales decide which files are good then to reject stunning pictures just because of possible camera limitations. I think how the picture actually looks like is way more important than purely technical aspects. SS has plenty of pictures lacking aesthetics but just because they have technical quality doesn't mean they are good.

My new stuff is accepted but my old 4MP pictures simply won't get through anymore... they definitely raised their standards. I simply ignore the rejection reasons as they are random, but the reviews are consistent (always 0% acceptance). It's sad because I have 30k pictures with my old camera. Good thing there is Istock to save the day.

Oh I'm not closing my account. Always have to keep an eye on the bandit.

This month was horrible in DT - I had 1 (one) miserable sub sale with more than 300 files.

Actually Canstock is going SS... whole batch of different pictures all rejected for the same reason:
"File appears to be too soft and/or out of focus, or may have an overly shallow depth of field."

What can I say? LOL

I guess the reviewer was behind schedule... will resubmit everything.

I just got a 6 dollar sale with PP for May, isn't it supposed to be over already?

The number of downloads in SS is also increasing, not as much as images of course, but I guess the inequality in image downloads is becoming more stronger. A successful picture on top of the search will generate thousands of sales and a large number of files will be buried forever. A more random search would reduce this problem, even though sales would be less predictable.

Decent number of sales but crappy RPD... very very few on demand.

I normally don't think too much about rejected images, but I had 6 that were simply stunning.
I really wanted to get them through, so I resubmit them in two small batches.

Batch of 2: 1 approved
Batch of 4: 0 approved

Needless to say, rejection reasons were completely opposite.

First time they were rejected for lighting, composition and noise.
Now they were rejected only for focus. I didn't change a thing - exact same pictures.

So that's it, I'm tired of making a fool out of myself.
I'll shift my uploading priority to IS, they already sell more anyway.

Here's a new one: I recently uploaded to DP, after a month with 0 sales I deactivated all images.
Today I decided to log in just to see how things were and I got several 0.30 sales.

0.30 is the regular subscription price? I wonder if any of my files are in some shady PP there.
Well, one thing is for sure - sales are not real time (delayed at least 1 month).
