good to know. hopefully this is a sign that sales are finally coming in. i haven't uploaded to them for month now, as everyone is saying they seem to be sleeping.
pity, because i like the site.

I had a sale last month. €2.50.

They've been relatively low-profile lately, but they're very responsive to email for me. I guess they're dealing with growing pains at the moment as the submissions mount up.

Same here ... still no sales. But I'm hanging on in there. No point in withdrawing everything I've uploaded.

No sales for me either but I keep uploading in the remote hope that it might take off

Is there any way to see the buyer?  Sometimes I get the feeling active forumpeople always have a few sales in the beginning of new sites...

I am not active in the forum at all.  We just had a sale today, EU 2.50 for a Medium.

I uploaded my 200+ best when they opened for business and have seen a grand total of 2 sales. That performance ranks it far below even Lucky Oliver in their declining months. My expectations now of Jay is hovering around zero. That puts it neck and neck with SnapVillage.

In my estimation, you could tie the two together! - say no more!

Surprise, surprise!

I checked in today to find my first sale!
Spring and fresh growth!! - lets hope so.

I cannot believe that this site is still open. One sale this year. The only good thing is that it has confirmed my expectations.

After coming from vacation, I was surprised today to see my first sale on YAY for 5 EUR. :) We have a saying that one bird doesn't mean that spring is coming :) but still , it was nice to see the sale.

I had one sale with them last year in July. I think I got a Euro. I only have about 40 photos with them, however I hardly have enough time to upload to the major sites. Would be nice if Yay became a bigger player though, nice site and good service.

Found out today that I had my first sale on Yay yesterday.  8)
One Euro for a subscription sale, how nice would that be if they could combine those prices with the volume of the big sites.

Good to know that sales happen sometimes.... I upload here since a month but nothing sold. Lost of files were rejected because "they are not suitable for stock". Funny that these are bestsellers elsewhere :) :)

I have 130 + images currently online with Yay and am in the process of once again uploading to them. I have over 300+ to upload that have been approved at SS or IS and probably another 300-400 that have been approved in places like 123rf or BigStock.

I am still awaiting my first sale at Yay.

Lets see how this works out. LO is gone, Snap is gone, Albumo quietly evaporated, and one year later I don't see much in the way of glowing testimonials for Yay. Are they on the watch list of agencies that will shut down in 2010? May 2008 to May 2010 is about the standard two years and out program.  ;D

I checked back in at Yay and see that I had my first sale this month  :) It was 1 Euro for a subscription sale on a portfolio of 309 images. Easy upload and  I will continue to upload there and hope for some of those higher Euro sales I've seen people getting on this thread for their sales ...

true:):) I will continue uploading: they have an easy upload proces, the site looks ok and their approval time is very reasonable as well as the approval rate. Give them a chance, they might grow!

Yeah, they might. During the next ice age.  ;D
