Things sure have changed there. I havent uploaded there for ages. Thought I'd give it a go,  see how it went. 
  Didn't go too well.  Uploaded on Jan 18,  just got reveiwed today, 29th { I used to see a review in a matter of hours at StockXpert}.   Only sent them 3 pix. All three large sellers on other sites.
    All three rejected.  I'm no stranger to rejections and 99.9999999%  of the time, I couldn't care less about them.
     One a shot of a fieldstone bridge in winter. Thanks. Not interested. No problem, I can dig that.  No biggie.
   However,  the second shot was of a dining room table, the third a shot of a brick sidewalk.   Both rejected for need of a property release.  A property release for a table and a sidewalk???   I know I've been out of action for 9 months, but...    what changed?  8)=tom

I have continued uploading there, and manage to get some sales every day.  Not what they once were though.  Sales have slowed considerably.

I still get sales there but mostly are the 30 cent subscription sales. Once in awhile I get a pay per download, but very rare. It'll take awhile before I hit payout there again. The quantity of sales just isn't enough to add up.

I still upload and I still get sales.  Mostly subscriptions, but some regular sales.  Reviews are quick, most everything I submit is accepted, and I still manage to beat their payment minimum every month.  They're fifth for me this month at 8%; not brilliant but not bad given the small incremental effort.

I haven't uploaded for more than half a year and still got payout every couple months. At least I do not have to worry about ridiculous rejections.

Only joined a few weeks ago...have had almost 100 percent acceptance...same day reviews and constant sales...although at a low price...am concerned for their future but removal of images if need be are a simple folder deletion away.

I still upload to StockXpert just about every week, review time is not bad, a couple of days top, rejections almost nothing to none, very little SALES! though :-\

sounds like I'm in the minority...   I rarely had rejections there...  these kind of threw me for a loop...  and I never waited that long for a review...

How many of you are with IS as well?  Think it has anything to do with that? 8)=tom

250 images. Started about 7 months ago.
Subscriptions opted out at STX.
Opted out at IS.
No rejections.
No sales.
Not good.
I still upload from time to time. Don't know for how long though.

I stopped uploading.  Not sure what the future of StockXpert will be and I am not wasting time on them after I opted out of subs and my earnings plummeted.  If there was news that they were going to continue marketing the site and stop encouraging people to move over to istock, I might be interested again but at the moment it looks like they are just taking money out of the site until they close it.

I just got a payout 3 days ago, so at least they're still making them!

the only reason i continue to submit is it's easy -- their rejection reasons are some of the worst, and the saless are meager.    so i just upl and dont even bother to read the rejection reasons anymore

there's an angel reviewer at stx, right now, who just approved 10 photos, immediately. i can't guarantee he/she will still be there, for the last time i followed up an immediate approval, my next batch sat for three days and 60% were rejected.

can we say this is the luck of the draw?


10 minutes later...yep, he's gone, my next batch will probably sit for a few more days now.

Same here.  Just had a small batch approved before I finished categorizing.  :-)

I'm seeing a really nice upswing in sales at StockXpert, after a few months in which they seemed to be really going downhill.  I'm now able to request a payment about once a week. Well on the way back to where my sales were last October.

I'm still uploading there and this month they are giving DT a run for their money - for that matter, so is 123RF - but that probably says more about DT than it does say about StockXpert or 123RF  ::) ;D
