I'm having the worst october since years. Sales have dropped about 40% compared to october 2012.

I hope that's what it is so they can change it back the way it was. I'm having my worst october month ever at SS.

I just checked with a $ amount transferred in euros and through paypal. I received 1 euro more through direct payment from alamy than with paypal. I lose 4.5 euro on a PP transfer of $259 dollar compared to the realtime conversion rate. I lose 3.5 with direct payment from Alamy on my bankaccount in Europe. Either way you lose but PP takes more.

In my opinion there is only one solution. Delete you images and stop uploading.I have stopped uploading already quite some time ago and have deleted hundreds of my images since yesterday. It's like Istock, you have to show that you will not tolerate this. I have images who have sold 350+ and are now being sold for pittance. I have deleted them. They can have my old stuff and I will sell my new and good ones elsewhere.

I'm selling at mostphotos: (www.mostphotos.com/photopat) and I like the site but I don't understand that you can't find a total of sales per month. I see all the photos I sold but I have to count them one by one to get my total. Is there a way around this?

Having a problem with the reviewing. I have uploaded a bunch more than two weeks ago and still waiting..Not used to that long. Maybe a bug too?

The problem is, I have the script, I just don't know how to install it. In the past, I've always installed add-ons by going to Firefox's add-on page, picking out the add-ons I wanted,  and then installing them with just one or two mouse clicks. But this is different, I don't know where or how to install the script. It's probably very simple, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

I just double clicked and the install happened automatically.  If that happened, then you go to your Istock My Uploads page and at the top there's a list of things you can display.  The last of that list is "my uploads options"  If you click that, you get a list with check boxes.  The last one should say "deactivate".  If you click that and then refresh, you should see a column on the right hand side that lets you delete each file.  Let me know if that doesn't work and I or somebody else will try to help out more

BTW, you have to have Greasemonkey installed.  do you?

Hi I have deactivated 360 so far. I want to do hundreds more but can't find the list of things you can display. I have installed greasemonkey, went to the Istock my uploads page but no 'my uploads options'. What do I do wrong?
Thanks

I'm in(out). Removed most of my bestsellers a year ago. I try to deactivate my model released images.

I like this a lot and started with a few galleries as well but I don't see how I can get to them. Where do you find them on your homepage?

I had two(!) sales already this month. I hope this is the beginning of a change.

Thanks. I just tried their chat for three times but after waiting a long time I get this message Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

Thank you for using InstantService. You may now close this window.

I have not been able to send anything to Joseph Kennedy. ..Even that is screwed up.

Yes, got a return email that "Due to a high volume of E-Mails please contact us at tollfree phonenumber" Did that and had to wait endlessly. Told my story on their voicemail. Nothing. Their service is not very well, I'm afraid.

Hi, I need to delete an image on Veer urgently. Anyone knows if it doing it yourself is possible? I can't find how to do this. I'v tried through email and phone to contact Veer but no response. If I can't do this I'll have to pull my entire portfolio from there. (if this is possible...) Hope someone can help. Thanks

I can't  login to shutterstock since yesterday evening. I'm getting this message;

I understand that this exceeds any limit but what is it? And what can I do? I can't open shutterstock through my link on the computer, I can't open it when I type in shutterstock.com but I can open it when I use the link here on the right. Anyone has a clue?

Wow, look at Depositphotos moving up!  Well, they were my only site with a BME this month, so they deserve to move up.
My big 3 (SS-FT-DS) went down with more than 10% compared to last year September.  Istock went up, but only because of the partner program downloads.  ALL smaller sites went up and covered a lot of the loss.  However, in September 2011 SS gave me 14 EL's (!), and this September 5.  Just keeping my fingers crossed for October.

I'm not too happy about DP moving up. They pay almost as bad as Istock (moving up in sales but 75% of those from the partner program).

I have 12 files waiting already for a very long time. Have many new uploads but am waiting until the reviewing of these old ones is done.

I wanted to start uploading there too and just noticed I have images there already. Does anyone knows which stocksite hast Pond5 as partner?

123RF. Contact them (Pond5), they will disable your 123RF port for you if you want to sell direct.

Thanks! I just sent an email to them. I hope it is possible to delete them gradually. I don't understand the FTP upload very well. Do you have to choose every time for a different ftp. Ftp , ftp 2, ftp3?

I agree with Pixart. The easiest way is to let us upload model releases and you keep them in a library where we can attach them to our images. That would be easier for all of us (including PD).

I have a lot pending for review as well. They are either very busy or/and don't have enough reviewers. Or something is wrong.. Anyone else?

Uploaded images with the keywords etc like usual but on the submit page they are blank. On other sites everything went ok so the problem lies within SS. Hope they fix this soon..

Hi Scott, If you can take this with you. Lately I got rejections on vintage postcards with this reason : 'At this time, we are not accepting this type of content in our collection'. As I sell these well (still) I love to know the reason. Thanks

@ Photodune: The model release system might be worth a turnaround as well. It really is a pain!

I see quite some increase at FT (I think I am silver but since they changed the site I don't know where to find this anymore). This week 300% more than DT which is very unusual. As they pay so little for a download I haven't uploaded images in the last year apart from about twenty in january to see how new images go. SS is not doing too well for me though. Today so far I sold 3 (!) which is a WDE (since 2007) for me.

I tried that . Didn't work. And what if I have images later on that need this MR. I think they make it more complicated than necessary . Well no model images for photodune I'm afraid..
