I have about a 95% acceptance rate on StockXpert. Granted, I make illustrations not photos. (Camera on order though!)

I haven't had any strange rejections in the past month from StockXpert. So I don't think they are just rejecting everything to lower the line up.

well if I am not wrong illustrations are reviewed by different reviewers.
there is one thing for sure lately there has been a lot of concerns over ambiguous rejections.

Vector illustrations are. Raster illustrations are reviewed by the same reviewers as photos I believe.

yes you might be right but in either case StockXpert should take all these concerns into account So far they have been very good with constractive feedbacks (as we have seen with subscription matter) ,which will be good for both contributers and the sites it seems that many contributers getting disappointed with unexpected rejections,which they express both here and on StockXpert forum.

I don't want to jinx myself, but ... Everything I send to Istock is rejected, so I find it surprising that I have such good approval at StockXpert when much better photographers than I are complaining. Almost everything I've sent has been approved. But then, I know better than to send over any "I'll give it a try and see" though. I've only been there a couple months and only send a couple at a time (due to recent threads about mass rejections), so I've got about 45 up now.

:-\Do I post this comment??? I have 2 in cue. Don't want to jinx...

I uploaded 7 photo's last week, and all where rejected with comment "subject too blurry" this although they are pin sharp photo's & accepted by the others. (StockXpert photo no. range = 5139271 - 5253361).
Have the same idea, that they want to clear the queue.

send them an email, when they did the same trick a while ago, but it was never answered.

If you have mass rejections of last week, what range are you photo's in?

regards,
bjorn

I uploaded a couple of pics about every third day from sept 17 to oct 2nd and all were rejected in block on oct 2nd.
Some rejections were acceptable to me as I'm fairly new and not quite sure how they like their files, but all those that baffled me were "subject too blurry" files ranging from 4734561 to 5323271.

In all fairness, a file that was rejected for artifact (forgot to turn off sharpening in noise ninja) was immediately accepted(within hours) after a quick reprocesss.
That's my rant for the day.

Most of my remaining photos in the queue have been accepted. I used to wonder why people uploaded to sites before they had sales but I am pleased that I uploaded lots to StockXpert in the early days. I am sure a lot more are rejected now.

Eco · « **Reply #34 on:** October 08, 2007, 07:59 »

All my images that were in the queue (some for more than 2 weeks) were accepted today. No rejections.

le_cyclope · « **Reply #35 on:** October 08, 2007, 08:14 »

My rejected photos spread from 4499211 to 5098061.

May be I should wait few weeks and re-submit them?

Anyway, back to my camera I go...

After waiting weeks for a single review and stumbling through their tedious folders, I realize, they rejected every image they reviewed, 90-100 images submitted over the last 4 weeks in the toilet. The ones they didn't review I assume are waiting for property releases per a note from the reviewers. Property releases for houses, boats, generic buildings, a chimney, etc.

That's it for me, they barely produce above Canstock level. As soon as I reach next payout, I'll delete my port and leave them. Not worth the trouble. They've been screwy ever since their one reviewer took a vacation and threw the review process into the toilet for months. Then they pull people off of tech support to review and things start breaking.

I've suffered through the aggravation at Fotolia and Istock because the money outweighed the problems, but SX has been almost dead flat for 5 months. Now I have nothing to sell there since middle Sept.

Sorry to vent, but that was the last straw.

Yes, I agree, my grandmother who know nothing about computers will be quicker if you just tell her on what button to press...LOL

On one of my images that was approved I made the mistake of using the Replace File thing to upload a higher MP image. They rejected it for Keyword Spamming although I didn't touch the keywords. Don't use the Replace File thing. If it's approved, leave it alone.

To their credit, I emailed support about this and they fixed the problem and also approved several others that got (wrongly) rejected for Keyword Spamming.

In the past month with IS I'm up to about 90%+ approval and StockXpert is about 60%

1 of 50 approved. They are still in the FU mode.

Pixart · « **Reply #41 on:** October 31, 2007, 15:36 »

I thought that once sites went subscription they usually relaxed their rejections. From what I've been hearing, sounds like they don't want to grow their library at all.

Kngkyle · « **Reply #42 on:** October 31, 2007, 16:04 »

25/44 approved. Not too bad for StockXpert. Although, the rejection reason doesn't make sense for one.

Color fringe on a grayscale image?

vphoto · « **Reply #43 on:** October 31, 2007, 16:13 »

After they rejected 8 out of 8 of my photos that were accepted at other sited including IS, i am thinking of stopping dealing with them.

There's got to be a book in all this... "Outlandish Rejections"... put 'em all together, would be some pretty funny reading... you know, put the picture there, then the rejection.... Could have different chapters for different rejections... there you go, nice book deal for someone.....

....'cept probably only sell a hundred or so... and the bulk of them to folks here.. LOL LOL

That's right, you could write a book on rejections from the microstocks! My newest is from StockXpert as well. I got four pictures rejected with the reason: "Please submit better quality images." That was insulting and not a bit helpful. At least one of the rejects made it's way to iStock's library. And to think I used to consider IS to be the most picky and unreasonable!

Im about 99% accepted there?? Am I doing something wrong?

Of course you are Laurin. If you start taking bad photos, like some of the rest of us, you'll get rejections too

ichiro17 · « **Reply #48 on:** December 04, 2007, 10:42 »

At least your images get reviewed. I've had mine there over a month now and nothing doing. Its getting ridiculous.

anonymous · « **Reply #49 on:** December 04, 2007, 12:23 »

Had a 70% acceptance rate earlier.My previous batch of 8 took 3 1/2 weeks and all were rejected for "not what we're looking for". Have a smaller batch that's been waiting for a week and a half...we'll see what happens. Stock is FUN!
