i think i will never uploaded pics again, my last batch all where rejected with the reason: you have enough of this kind of pics.... i understand, perhaps you have no time... but this is not the way a agency work... sorry for my bad english

Thanks Steve. Hope your troubles are all fixed soon.

Sales are good! This is a good thing.

I have a good concept of StockXpert's rejections, when they're technical and not "we're not looking for this".  These recent testimonies however make me worry.  Let's see what happens in my current pending submissions.

Math,

I appreciate your logic, but a couple of years ago, I made a similar post (under a different name) and it resulted in my acount being blackballed (not StockXpert). So now I simply ghost talk just to make sure my comments do not result in any "repercussions ". For those wishing to put their work up for peer review, more power to them. However, I sell enough photos to know whether my work is "stock photography" or not. I simply want to make sure that the reviewers (of which I used to be one) are not playing hack to appease their quotas or stumping their competition.

my point is only to help people with rejection, i made around 1000 submission so far, im no expert, but after 1 year of stock photo im getting a good grip of what is accepted or not...

On response to my first post in here, im willing to give back tot the community that helpped me, and give comment on rejected images to help people perfecting their skills.

I don't know why that in anyways should get my name "blacklisted"

Most comment that i heard of is, like i was saying in my reply, that most people go by the key phrase:

"Submitted 15 images, all rejected, go to hell reviewers"

Dont forget that these reviewers are seeing thousands of images per day, and even if they accepted to do that job, it can be hard for them, as it is hard for us to upload all these pictures and finding salable content.

So, if you get 30, 15 or 10 images rejected in row (it happened to me quite sometimes), you are probably doing something wrong , or you are maybe not meeting the standard or content needed by the company you are submitting to. To lighten your path, post samples of the pictures you got rejected: my pleasure and the pleasure of others in this helpful forums, will be to help you understand why you got rejected and perfect your skills.

On this, i hope, helpful note, have a good night,

Math

p.s. im sorry for typos or strange phrases, its getting late and im french, sooooooo, be nice with me

me just covers me arse now..i do this for fun, web designer by trade. Again, you're logic is solid in the real world, but I will no longer take chances with my income and it IS nice enjoying the anonymity of the net. I've also seen less than "constructive" commentary on this forum. Have a nice evening and merry xmas! : )

Hello, 100% rejection in my last batch too, something unusual here!

As an infrequent purchaser - once I needed coffee beans.  I was looking for a nice splash of beans over white to drop in the middle of a flyer.  There were pages and pages of spilled beans but they were all sharply chopped at the edge and I didn't have time for retouching.  So, they lost a sale peraphs because they had too many similars and their database was full.  I already had my credits, so it was no big loss for the agency. But if I was going to StockXpert for the first time to buy credits... that's another story.  They would have lost a new customer.

Guys,

the queue has been cleaned and you can resume uploading.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding through all of this!

We will be hiring new reviewers. However, this won't speed things up immediately. Now matter how familiar a new reviewer is with the site, they still need to be trained and acquire experience to become fast and accurate.

It's just human nature. We can only make the process so objective. There is still that subjective aspect new reviewers bring. It seems you guys know instantly when we hire a new reviewer, so we can't bring on too many at once.

Please, just remember model and property releases and keywords. They will be rejecting images that don't have those. This is one reason the queue grew. We kept waiting for some contributors to add these items and they never did.

And it's unfair to those who do provide this information because it takes up reviewer time to request this info from those who don't.

Thanks!

I,m still not able to connect through ftp

Wow this is unbelievable! 
I just uploaded a vector, and it got accepted the same second.
After uploading I wanted to check if everything was filled in correctly and than I saw it was in the system already.
This must be the world record!

Way to go StockXpert, this rocks!
