I takes around 2 days which is not bad.

DONTS:
1. Architecture, especially details
2. Long series

DOS:
1. Flowers
2. Nature landscapes
3. Dogs on the beach
4. Isolated every day objects

Still waiting for my first image with universal MR to be reviewed.

Is this based on your first submission? What dya mean by long series?

melastmohican · « **Reply #2 on:** June 17, 2009, 14:27 »

Yes, my first submission. By long series I mean more than 5 from same location it would be cut by at least half so better to pick really best shots or split into different submissions.

So this was your first batch after your application batch?
Sounds like you got lucky; in the other thread, Brian said that some files had been waiting 5 days and they were working towards not going longer than that if possible.

finally logged-in with my password from Veer and authorize the transfer of my SV port , signed my tax treaty form,etc.. 9 days late, but i thought i wait till the traffic subsided, or at least naissance glitches smoothed-out.
really like the system . all very nice and cleanly handled. c'est tres cool !.

Yep. Some files were done in 2 days, rest after additional two.

Hopefully they won't be like when istock had only two vector inspectors.

My 10-image application was uploaded June 12, and it's still in the queue now on June 18. That's 6 days already.

Update: accepted June 18.

My thoughts::::

It took 7 days or more to review my submitted batch a combination of vectors and photos.
Some vectors got rejected I still don't understand why : not suitable for stock (some are big runners on other agencies, even I stock accepted some raster version of it)
Some needed work: KEYWORD THING I still don't know wich keywords were bad....

I will see what the future brings....I think not bad it's almost like any other agency with their own prefference.

One thing bothered me was the editing application .....When you click for editing it looks like the page is shuffeling....
after 50 pictures my eyes hurt.

I had 4 of my inital 10 reviewed in a couple of days, the other 6 have been pending review since the 9th of June.

(first 4 all rejected to not suitable for stock errrrrrrr. )

I'm sorry; I think he was referring to inspection times after the application process.

Well guys and girls as well Veer Marketplace CREW,

I am not sure by what parameters any reviewer on Veer Marketplace can say that any image has LCV or is not commercial... It is dumb reason: You should let buyers decide what they need - You as reviewers should stay at strict quality standards and reject only images which are with bad quality - At least for first 2 - 3 million images you have to place in Veer Marketplace image base. Well, there is also something called too-similar to already accepted - but not for same series - it is more for 'copy-cats' of other authors!

If Veer Marketplace becomes other Crestock or iStock - there will be no chance to make success with that policy.
There is Veer - they know what they sell and what buyers need by higher prices... No one at Veer Marketplace can be sure that any image is or isn't salable until buyers get access to Veer Marketplace image base. Microstock is completely different world comparing to Traditional or mid-stock standards in sales!

So, any non-technical rejection is wrong in this phase! I mean it: Any flower, cloud or anything else with good technical quality should be accepted. I know it - I review on some place too.

Ah ok, well I'm quite relaxed about it all. They will have an overload of images the first weeks.

Update: just checked. "You can submit". All accepted. I like the programming of the site and the aesthetics of the graphics and the behavior. Top professional work. Let's see what the future brings. Que sera, sera.

PeterChigmaroff · « **Reply #14 on:** June 18, 2009, 11:28 »

I accidentally pushed a set of 20 images through without attaching release. Is there a way to retrieve them or do I wait for rejections on all of them and then resubmit?

Don't worry I don't reject just because I don't like someone

melastmohican · « **Reply #16 on:** June 18, 2009, 12:50 »

Update: They accepted one photo with my universal MR so I understand it would work there. I got more in a queue.

dirkr · « **Reply #18 on:** June 18, 2009, 13:49 »

Ok, my experience from my first batch (after the initial 10, which all were accepted):

98 / 100 accepted, the remaining two pushed back due to missing releases (one PR, one MR, which I don't have, so I will have to delete them).

Most of the pics were Nature / Wildlife / Travel. No isolated objects, no models.

As this is what I have in my port I am pretty optimistic to have a good acceptance rate.

YES we know too, it's not Fotolia but F----------. Reading your posts, it's not that difficult to guess which site.

bittersweet · « **Reply #20 on:** June 18, 2009, 18:07 »

Very encouraged by my first post-application batch of 20 vectors. It was a mix of my better sellers and my "not suitable as istock" rejections. 17 were approved; 1 "needs work" on weird keywords (copied and pasted from istock and didn't pay enough attention); 2 need work that involves removing one element and resubmitting.

Brian, I have a question about that... for the keywords, I was able to fix and submit again without re-uploading the file. Obviously I will have to upload new files for the other two, but is there any way to link them to the resubmit notice? Or are they just treated as new uploads, and in that case I would just delete the originals from my workspace?

cathyslife · « **Reply #21 on:** June 18, 2009, 19:41 »

I uploaded my initial 10 on 6/10. I just got notice today that all 10 were rejected. Here's the reason:

Based on these 10 images, we can't offer you contributor privileges at this time. You are welcome to submit 10 new images

I uploaded my 10 best sellers from IS and other sites. I am really bummed. Not only am I a reject, but the reason is so generic and lame, I don't even know why they were rejected. Not good enough? Not the right content?

Wow, I feel like such a loser.

eppic · « **Reply #22 on:** June 18, 2009, 20:45 »

My test batch of 32 images tha tI submitted several days ago have now all been reviewed. Out of the 32, 6 got rejected. 3 were "limited commercial value" and 3 others were rejected based on submitting too many images with similar content. It seems they don't want too many photos of firefighters battling house and car fires all at once.

That was your biggest mistake : submit your 10 best sellers from IS and other sites.
You read that Veer wants to be different. Also, who would want to have images that have sold and sold and sold. Even an IS exclusive has pointed here on another thread re Yuri and another stock site,
"who wants a pile of images that have been sold so many times already on so many other sites" , or words to that effect.

Don't give up just yet. Stop trying to compare Veer to "all the other sites". Give them your best images that have not been submitted or sold . You don't give old shoes to a new man in town.
Good luck.

Two days ago I sent an email to [email protected] regarding the same issue. I had some images sent back to the 'New' folder because they 'need work'. One of the images need some re-processing so I need to resubmit. It seems that the image should be resubmitted without previous references or traces of having being reviewed previously. As I have not yet received response from 'contributor help' I deleted the image and resubmitted. I really don't like this procedure because there is no follow-up of the history of the reviews on this image. Is like playing loto...
