A few days ago I had the same experience, it was my Fotolia portfolio mixed up with some other images that weren't mine. I complained at the fotolia helpdesk and still waiting for an answer....

You will probably get quicker action by contacting PixMac since they are the ones who have control of the images displayed on PixMac

I got an answer from Fotolia today: According to Pixmac, wrong thumbnails were displayed. It's now fixed."

If you look at the pages, the thumbnails seem good now

I checked and still had a foreign image in my portfolio. I was wondering: if they put them to my portfolio, my images can be in someone else's portfolio so where goes the $$...

.....and BS doesn't give you much chance to expand your portfolio: I can upload 10 files at once and get these rejections on files that were accepted elsewhere:

We have enough of this subject already...sorry. More unique images will help your images stand out from the crowd.

Low interest subject: Probably little demand/selling potential for this image. Try for more marketable shots. thanks.

That brings down your approval ratio too!

I try to avoid that by breaking shoots up into different batches.

That's what I did and guess what: they checked my portfolio and rejected the files because of same subject etc....

I had some disappeared commissions a few weeks ago so send them an email. The reason they told me is that they are working with different servers which do not update at the same time.
I'm used to it now. It's slow but the 123rf crew is very friendly when you mention your problem.

I uploaded some files a week ago and submitted everything exept one file. By the time I submitted that one the review was only 14 hours while I'm used to 76-89 hours.

Rejections for too many images of the same or similar subjet.

Yes! I agree! One of my best sellers reached level 2 with a couple of weeks and the price went up. I submitted another image, similar subject but different colors and arrangements because I wanted to have a cheaper alternative in my portfolio. It was refused....

Another thing I do not like is the inconsistent reviewing: two of the same serie: one is rejected because it shouldn't be a RF image with low commercial value and should contain copyrighted material etc. The second one was from a different angle and was approved. With in a week it was sold so how low is it's commercial value?

I am feeling totally inadequate. After nearly a year with BS, I have a grand total of $6 in sales. My portfolio is not large, only recently reaching 130, but surely I should expect more than $6. Is anyone else willing to admit their lack of sales?

Same here! A year at BS, 354 online and an amazing $17,-- earned so far! I'm allowed to upload 10 images every batch
