New Sites - General / Zoonar & Paypal
« on: September 24, 2010, 08:19 »
I just received a payment from Zoonar via paypal.  To get this payment I had to accept a paypal fee (about 4%), like I would if I was making a ebay sale.  Has anyone else encountered this.  I have never had a paypal fee for payment from any other microstock site.

From the F5 BUG REPORTING / KNOWN ISSUES thread on Istock.

Saving Preferences (The old Control Panel)
Certain preferences aren't saving reliably for some people, including the Adult Content filter and the Promotional Uses opt-out.

Is there no longer any upload success percentage available to view?  The page where I found it before is gone and I've poked around for it on the new version and haven't found it.

Yes, it looks like it is not on the page it used to be on.  You can find your approval rating by clicking on the "not an exclusive photographer" link on the upload page.

Warren,

Some one gave your image a 5 out of 5 rating.  This is a different column than Vetta.

Yes, I am sure to may people think social networking such as Twitter and Facebook are the be all and the end all.  Until the next fad comes along.  But it may surprise you to know that a lot of people don't have time (or interest) to waste on social networking nonsense. 

You are crowing about having 7,000 twitter followers.  Yay!!  But seriously, is that anywhere near the total number of members your site has?  (Although it would certainly explain the dismal sales) I suspect you are leaving many thousands of interested site members and potential customers out in the cold by not making more of an effort to communicate through traditional means, including forums and notices on your own website, buying advertising space, directly e-mailing customers or contributors about issues that affect them, and a responsive customer service dept. 

Personally, I spend most of my working day online as it is.  The last thing I want to do with my free time is have to keep up with time consuming applications like facebook and twitter. 

It's perfectly fine for businesses to use those applications in addition to more traditional means of communicating with customers, but not as a replacement for them. 

Well Stated!

« on: August 03, 2010, 13:45 »
I had this problem a couple of weeks ago and with one image today.  I finally canceled the upload of that image and uploaded a different one and it worked fine.

This is something IS knows about, but is having trouble resolving. See this thread.

Definitely frustrating.

July was my BME.  It was helped by some ELs, but still may have been a BME without the ELs.  I had BME on SS (42%), IS (32%), DT (9%) and Veer (7%).

That's a shame. I liked the end of the year automatic payment idea.

I have read that the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di is a good macro lens, although I have no personal experience with it.  See write up at bottom of this web page:

The rejection rate is similar to what I have had before.  Most rejections were probably valid - mostly too similar and not suitable for Veer.
