Some JIU sales are showing up today but none from Photos.com. Overall it has been a better than average month on StockXpert

Same story here. Still getting JIU sales.

I did a search on nov 11 («cargo container») and it showed 108 pages (60 photos per page) and many of mines were there.

Same search today brings only 46 pages, without any of mine. So I'm out!

But the strangest thing is that it also bring many doubles. Maybe they showed also on nov 11, but I didn't notice. So I guess that they merge two or more photo banks...

It seems that geeks are finally succeed in something, to dispel buyers and fckup submitters in one trait. Now for Jui may take additional six month for us maybe more, maybe by chance they erase all 3 sites at all in they selfish greed action. Who knows

These two quotes have confused the heck out of me? Who are "geeks?" and Who are "They?" Who is closing what and Who is expanding their business?

Had another JIU sale this morning.

WarrenPrice · « **Reply #136 on:** November 16, 2009, 10:13 »

Looking bad for me. Just read another admin post urging Non-iStock participants to get signed up "as soon as possible."
I don't want to sign up. I guess I am shooting myself in the foot ... again.

StockXpert admin also said

"StockXpert images are still being sold on JIU until further notice."

Thanks Epantha. If the images keep selling on JIU then perhaps losses won't be as bad as I had thought.

We will hope for the best.

In the meantime, I have added some new agencies to take StockXpert's place in case they are eventually axed. Telling people to start uploading to IS "as soon as possible" doesn't sound very positive. $:-\$

Is the answer to that, "I would if I had anymore uploads there this week."?

mwp1969 · « **Reply #142 on:** November 16, 2009, 13:44 »

The limits at iStock will make it very difficult to get any significant amount of images up to iStock in a hurry ...

Does any one think there is a chance that iStock might left the upload limit if they want to bring in the StockXpert contributors's images that aren't currently already on iStock ?

I seriously doubt it. Lifting upload limits would require taking on a lot of additional inspectors. I don't think istock has shown any intention of making uploads any easier for independents.

I'm fairly new, only started doing micro 3 months ago.
Let me see if I got this right.
Getty wants a share of SS's subscription market.
To achieve their goal they firstly remove 3 million perfectly good stock images from StockXpert.
Then they urge contributors to re-upload them all, only this time via IStock.
My port is small, no big deal, but what about photographers with large portfolios and thousands of photos? They are the people who really make this business work. Will they agree to do it?
In return for their efforts Getty promises to pay 0.25 cent per download. 5 cents less than StockXpert and no chance for an increase.
Never mind IStock's upload limits. This whole affair doesn't feel right to me.
For the time being I'm going to follow Epantha's advice. Try something else and stay opted out.

You may be new Eireann, but you managed to sum up the situation perfectly!

I am opted out too.

I also am following the advice to "try something else." Maybe StockXpert buyers will find their way to YayMicro. $:-\$

cathyslife · « **Reply #149 on:** November 16, 2009, 21:17 »

Earlier I reported that my images were not on JUI any more. I was wrong. They are there...I was looking in the royalty-free section. Tonight I realized there is a subscription section and sure enough, that's where they are. Maybe I can make a few more pennies then.
