Title: What's Up With Scan Stock?
Post by: Cricket on September 08, 2007, 05:32

I got pix waiting in queue since August 27th, that still have not been reviewed.  Is Scanstock still in business or are they just freakin' slow?  :-[

Yes, reviews have been quite slow lately.  The positive point is that to me sales there are better than CanStockPhoto, 123RF or CS... 

I read in their forum that editorial images sell well there.  Any experiences with that?

these guys are a complete waste of time, I don't know why I ever bothered with them.

I have increasing sales with Scanstock, and just had my first payout. They are slow, but compared to places like LuckyOliver, they are really flying.

I can imagine that editorial sells well there. I know some Norwegian newspapers use them.

epixx,

Do you know what kind of editorial image they use? Recent events, famous people?

Mostly typical stock, at least in my experience, but images where faces, logos etc. may be visible. Very similar situation to SS. Featurepics accepts editorial as well. I'm preparing to do some coordinated uploads to all three sites. I know that editorial at SS sells well.

Another thing: For the first time, I had a lot of rejections at Scanstock this week. Not much response at the forums over there. Have anybody else had similar experiences there recently?

I only uploaded an image there this week, and it was approved.
