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 upload and get an occasional sale.
-
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.
-
I still upload there. I get a payout almost every month.
-
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
-
Today they approved 10/10 to me...
-
I still upload, I still get sales. I got one Jupiter sales on Jan. 1 and the rest have been PPDs, total of 31 in Jan. I also contribute to IS.
-
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 still upload, and I still get sales.
-
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

I'm not at IS and don't plan on.

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
-
i have stoppped uploading there as i thought they were dead lol...
but seeing as some people are still getting sales i might start up again.
