Hmmm... New Third Party Sales scheme promoted today via email. No idea who these 3rd parties might be... Not holding my breath.

Wow! Worst month for ages. Not a single Royalty Free Still (whatever that is).
Well down where mid range used to be for me.

OK....have to ask...what is a CMS in this context (customer management system tells me nothing)??? A site? A setup? Part of Photostore?

Same here. One day 5 downloads of the same pic, one after the other, $2 a time.
Await deduction of refund.

New messages for unsubmitted photos ('no MR attached'), sometimes autofill of keywords works, sometimes not, no longer able to move through images pending to a page of my choice but only next page...
OK, only small things (though I'll stop uploading now till things settle down!) but just wish these agencies would focus on sales and getting new customers, rather than tinkering with upload etc (and rarely making it better).
Whinge......!

Not sure what your question is. I use Qhero and find it good. If you search on the forum here there is a better thread though to discuss this. Sorry - can't go and find it for you, have a train to catch.... Good luck

 Mediocre. Again. With NOTHING from Royalty Free Still. Whatever that might be.....

About 80% of mine still gets rejected (S) - whatever that means, or sent to the cutting out queue (even when there really is no need ie the black/white forms part of the image.

Seems nothing remotely filtered or textured gets through. One fractal only seems to have snook in under the radar.

Won't look again, just depresses me. Send-forget-collect money from time to time - rinse and repeat!

Vectors or photos? Mine are photos but acceptance rate is terrible - much worse than elsewhere. Fortunately upload is easy so I just send and forget.....  :-[

Has anybody found any info on what they actually want? They seem to reject many with rejected (s) or else simple rejection and I can make no sense of it! Not a major concern as upload is so easy but still wasting time both for me and (I imagine) for them.

I seem to recall that 'cutting out' was not going to happen and notice that anything with a smidge of plain background gets marked 'pending cut out' so effectively in the bin.....

Just that I've heard no news forever.....

Not flagging  illustration when it was....a photo.
Rejected for copyright when it was....detail from a vintage shawl
etc
 ::)
And another - similars (!!!!!) when really they were not THAT similar - especially given what some people get accepted. Ho hum......

I used to be concerned when SS rejected an image for some bizarre reason....but these days I don't really care....sales are so few and far between that it just doesn't seem important any more and I rarely even try a re-upload.....
Every cloud has a silver lining.

The issue of amateur,non amateur, semi-professional, professional who still loves their work etc has nothing to do with it.
We do not have sites for mega fee paying customers to 'drive' traffic to.
This is just another rung on the ladder to zero value for what we create and - in many cases - try to earn a living from.
Herrumph.

So, did this die off already?  I haven't seen anything offered since the first one, weeks ago.

Same here....

Maybe only sending to the Chosen Few now - but surprised if you're not amongst them....

Promoting my images at 38c a throw? Doesn't appeal to me....!
Do you sell better on ANY other site?

Yes. Less often but better rpd and that is the direction I want to go.
Once you are perceived as a cheap 'brand' there is no way back.

Mar........- as in buyers, not just contributors.
Attracting the B's are the biggest problem.
