I just replied in the other thread (change of commission structure) so here's my c/p:

I didn't read through this thread since 123RF doesn't interest me all that much because it's only a mid earner for me. I was just checking earnings and saw the commission structure change from Jan 2013. I thought this only applied to new members and those with less than 150 files online, but it looks it applies to everyone, or else I wouldn't be getting this msg. So is it?

If they think they motivated me with this RC scheme they're dead wrong, they just made me care even less about them. The low earnings they bring me, the broken site UL they have (so you have to use FTP even if you upload just a couple of files) and their reviews that take weeks, everything is going downhill with this site. Such a shame, they looked perspective not so long ago. They thought they became big enough to start behaving like IS and FT. And the say money doesn't ruin people...

In other words, hellz to the no, I wouldn't start again, surely not for even lower commissions

Sure take them for a spin, there should be a window of opportunity for high volume shooters over there.

However once they skim enough money off the lower volume shooters to fund their new Rome, I would not be surprised to see the newly hired IT boys craft a shiny new search engine.  Once that is in place how long do you think it will take before we see best match disease set in? 

In regard to searches I notice a red arrow to the right of SS. I wonder if HCV shooters will be seeing a difference in coming months at SS. They had job postings for a search engine programmer a few months ago, any signs that best match disease is rearing its ugly head over there?

.......... at least better then before, treating reviewing as a human process, etc.

Not that I've noticed, I've just had an image rejected because it featured a credit card, however I had included a note in the description that the credit card is a mock up that it was printed and designed by myself and that all logos and details are generic, the actual credit card design is even in my portfolio with 123RF !!

Hi Richard!  how goes?

Well I didnt get many rejects in fact but what I opposed to in their reviewing process was some sort of software they use, which really couldnt tell the differance between a toned image and WB,
in any case its the weirdest reviewing system I have experienced.
Well, you see what happend to your credit-card, in spite of being designed by yourself and it sounds like a potential great sellr.

best.

I may be a dissenter here, but I am happy with 123RF.  Of course, this is easy for me to say, since I'll either stay at my current commission rate or see a bump up in 2013, but I think if you compare their newly announced rates to the other agencies, I think you'll still find them to be fair.

Their uploading system is incredibly easy, I find their reviews to be very fair, and the increasing earnings make 123RF one of my favorites.

I joined them at there beginning and a few years in. I got discouraged and deleted my port....DUMB mistake. I rejoined 4 months ago sent them about 2000 known sellers and Im very happy with the results and yes the upload system is tops in My book.
