We are adding the finishing touches to the vector system and it will be launched in the following days! Please don't be alarmed if something acts a bit weird...;)

Good to hear but from my experience submitting a rasterized Jpeg from a vector to StockXpert usually gets the response "we are not looking for such images right now".

In the fact the last batch all ten failed before I could find which one had corrupted on upload - very quick reviews but the answer these days is usually no.

So being able to submit an eps/AI file of something they are going to reject isn't such great news for me.  :'(

$2 sales for the eps on DT are nice  ;D

hmmm....I attempted 3 times and was rejected 3 times with teh same message of we are not looking for these type of photos. I send all the different types of photos I have. What are they looking for? Also is it worth my while to try again? Seems an utter waste of time

Here is some more info on vector uploads (they can be uploaded already):

Prices will vary from $1 to $20

Fintastique,

I also have a high rejection in my rasterized vector files there.  However, maybe it is a good thing to make the vector file available for the few ones approved?

Peiling,

I also get that type of rejection message from time to time.  And sometimes one image that is related, though different, is approved.

Regards,
Adelaide

Glad to see they are only accepting Adobe Illustrator 8 files and not eps files like everyone else.

I don't use AI8 I use a bit of freeware I found on the net guess they won't get to reject any vectors after all.
