I'm starting to worry, nice site, good commissions, but nothing going on there. 3 week approval wait? Hope they're not giving up.

Well I don't know if they have given up (will not be too surprised if they do). I certainly have given up on them months ago. At this point in time they are a total waste of time. What a pity.

I think you misunderstood hospitalera, we need your featurepics referral link not the 123 rf referral link

OOOPS! Sorry about this, I am not awake it seems, need more coffee!

I thought the post was about 123rf

I stay with FP, not because of the sales, only reached one pay-out so far, just because I like the possibility to set my own price. *Tip-toes off to correct previous post*

*too embarrassed to put FP referral link in* SY

FP have indeed low sales but they let you set your own price and give you 70%, have virtually 100% acceptance rate and no categories to input so submitting is fairly painless.

If you have your own website which attracts visitors it is worth linking some of your best photos to the picture for sale at FP instead of directing them to other sites where you can't set the price or receive 70%.

Sorry to hear Ian you are still stuck in the review backlog, which started at the beginning of July with reviewers taking holidays. For me its has cleared with a 1-3 day wait for reviews.

I wanted to say that I embarrassed myself, no offense taken, quite the opposite, thanks again to pointing it out to me

And please if it happens again, do exactly the same

Just had a pic reviewed there in 2 days.

But sales seemed to have slowed down quite a bit.
Waiting for the upsurge!

Never even thought of that. Great idea. Thanks

Agreed 100%. It just pisses me off slightly that I'm stuck a couple of $ before payout for 3 weeks now ;-)
