Just my guess, FWIW. If those who are still waiting had high acceptance at StockXpert, and have high acceptance rates at other agencies, then I'm obviously barking up the wrong tree.

Accepted today

Indeed, i have a very high acceptance ratio at all sites.. and over 10.000 images online.. still not in.

ps :not complaining, just stating facts.

I applied to Stockfresh when they first launched, and like many of you it took months until I heard anything.
I got an email saying that my application was rejected, but that in 1 month I could feel free to apply again. That was over 4 months ago.
I have sent numerous emails to Stockfresh asking why I can't submit another application, all of which have gone unanswered. There is no way for me to submit another application, it just says my application was rejected. I don't get it, what can I do? Am I just banned from the site for life then? No opportunity of ever contributing to them, even if my images improve?

Hi James, I'm very sorry about the lack of replies. Did you use the support form to contact us? In normal circumstances you'd be able to apply again but we are so overwhelmed with applications that we simply can't revisit rejected ones.

how about the queue order talked here days ago..?

I don't understand the anger some of you display in so many posts. Any agency is at complete liberty to accept of reject any photo or photographer. When they can choose from the creme of the crop, why not take in the best ones first? That way it will be easier to get buyers attracted, something that will be benefit all contributors in the long run.

Que order? Is this a post office line? Do you expect your job applications to be reviewed in the order they were recieved too? Of course not! The best applicants will get interviewed first, not the ones who mailed their letters first.

I'm not in, and I don't expect to be accepted for a long time yet.

glad to know that contributors have low expectations from agencies (at least you can stay happy all time)

Thank you for stating what a lot of people have been thinking but few want to acknowledge as being true. If you look at the portfolios of people waiting to get accepted and those who were accepted quickly, it all starts to make sense. And there's nothing wrong with that. Peter has a business to run, and it makes the most business sense to get the best people in first.

As for the whining about long wait times, let's also keep in mind that SF is currently in what amounts to a beta stage. There's been no big public announcement, no marketing push, no call to buyers to let them know that StockFresh is new in town. So long wait times should not only be expected at this stage, but they should also be considered a non-standard part of launching the business and not be regarded as the way that SF will function long-term. This is just the beginning. Deal with the issues and quit complaining, or just move on. No one says you need to be a part of a new company from the very beginning, and choosing to be a part of it should mean that you're accepting some rough patches along the way until things smooth out.

Just two minutes ago I`ve got in. Hope it worth the wait.
