Well, that's good to know then. I wasn't really expecting to be accepted this time around, but I was hoping to at least get a few images approved. I had just assumed that since everything in the email said rejected that my images were still no where near Shutterstock's standards. I'm glad to see that I was mistaken. Five out of ten isn't so bad(for me). Maybe I'll get in next time. Thanks everyone.

Haha. Well, I tried submitting ten images to Shutterstock again but to no avail. These photos were ones that both iStockphoto and Dreamstime accepted. I thought they would stand a better chance at being accepted by Shutterstock since these other two microstock agencies accepted the images(especially iStockphoto). I was wrong. And here's the email(part of it). By the way, what does it mean when they just say rejected but don't say why? Thanks.

True, a lot of the sites seem to lack encryption. But they're not asking for my social security number. If they ever do ask for it, I'm hopeful that they'll at least have an encrypted page for me to submit the number through.

I spend a lot of time and effort on my images and I cannot bear the thought of giving them to a load of incompetent assholes.
I realize that FT gave a lot of valid reasons for frustration, but calling them assholes is uncalled for, IMO. If they end up hurting someone, it will be themselves more than anyone else.
If a hacker manages to steal some social security numbers from the site, my bet is a lot of people will hurt.

I wonder if the buyers are allowed to post their compaints on the Fotolia message boards? It would be interesting to see how many problems the buyers are having, if any. And I'm sure they're having at least a few problems.

I really wish that they would encrypt the page where you submit your social security number. It just seems like they don't care if your identity is stolen. Or is the page encrypted somehow? It's an http address and there's no lock in the bottom right corner of the screen, so I don't think it's encrypted.

I agree, the watermark is worthless. I thought it was simply a temporary watermark or something.

Fotolia's site is working again. Maybe they fixed something?
Oh, and can I see a link to your Fotolia portfolio fotografer? I'm curious to see what your clients are buying. Thanks.

Not just the top contributors. I've sold 20 so far today with a portfolio of less than 500.
I've sold 0 so far today with a portfolio of less than 500. In fact, I've only had one sale for the week. But I'm still new, so maybe a lot of people don't know I exist. And yeah, the site isn't loading for me either.

I'm glad I use four other agencies.

That's too bad, litifeta. Maybe it's the lights you're using?

I've noticed an increase in sales as well, but that may have more to do with one of my pics being featured on the front page than increased traffic.
The small picture at the bottom of the page with the orange leaves is mine. I actually had two of my photos selected for the home page.

So I got a light tent recently and this is one of the images that I've taken with it. What do you think?

I was able to upload ten images with their new Flash uploader last night(Saturday), which I actually prefer to the FTP. Unfortunately, the images that I uploaded were blank; I can only assume they will eventually show up.

Yeah, I don't like it either. I think Fotolia should only ask for that type of information when one of their photographers/illustrators goes over the six hundred dollar threshold. I say six hundred dollars because that is when a company is required to file a form to the IRS. Thus, they would need your SSN for that documentation. At least, I think that's how it works.

I've been on Fotolia for about a month, and I have around three hundred fifteen images.

Yeah, I'm going to start using a light tent for all of my shots. I never realized that it would be that important. And I've attached three images that I think are okay(Fotolia accepted them). Hope this helps.

About a month ago I signed up with Shutterstock, and submitted my ten images for review. All of them were rejected, so I had to wait a month to try again. So it's almost time to try again, and I just thought I would ask some of you whether or not my photos are good enough for Shutterstock. I have a little over three hundred pictures at Fotolia that have been accepted. Could any of you possibly pick ten that you think Shutterstock would accept? If any? I'm still obviously an amateur, so I need all the help I can get. Thanks. http://www.fotolia.com/p/285138
