Thanks for the reply, the referral _link_s were actually in my signature, not in the body message Ehm, will set up a page mainly for this forum, how about "Where I sell most successfully " or "My Best Sites!" ??? SY

I've got 69 approved and 209 waiting. No rejections. On the first day I uploaded images 54 were accepted really quickly. After that it's been just one or two a day. Still no rejections...

I hope they keep them moving through. I'll be a little unhappy with them if they drag their feet.

That would be the kind of mistake an agency couldn't recover from any time soon.

Many of use are only submitting there because of the offered money. I think it is obvious that you won't receive the $75 anytime soon because of the $100 payout threshold, however we hope to see the credits in the account. I am sure they have had a huge influx of submissions because of the news of the payments, when I started submitting a little over a week ago they were at 2000 image, now they are at 9000. I now people that have submitted 300-400 images and this is probably killing their review team (if it is a team, not just one person).

Anyhow, with a small agency, they must be very excited to be moving so quickly and filling in their data_base_ with images. However, if they break that trusy, many people will pull out and the rest of us will just leave our 125 images and never add the rest (~700 in my case).

If anyone gets their payment please let us know in here, so we maintain hope....

A few days later I'm still at 69 accepted, 209 pending and none rejected.

I'm with you. I'm sure the $25 will be a while coming...but interested in the starter credits. I'll keep you posted on any movement...or lack of it. Hopefully they're just overwhelmed, but will honor the offer. They have given themselves until October 5 to review any images submitted prior to the end of this month.

I checked in with support at Fotomind and received a reply from Andrew. Here's what he had to say:

**********
All images submitted before 1october are eligible even if we accept your
125th in december, you still get the 75$

The delay was caused by many people uploading thousands of photos in the
last few days, and our image inspectors team could barely catch up.
So don't worry about the 75$, you will receive it. Once we have about
50.000 images we're going to be more customer focused so that we can be
sure photographers will get their payouts soon.

We already have > 15k
images pending, so we're not far

Have fun!

Just as we suspected...and good to here that they plan to honor the $75 bounty.

Cheers,

Scott-

Thank you for posting that. I have really been wondering what would happen. I figured they were swamped (we added them you our homepage here, so that probably helped). Anyhow, it will be interesting to see how long it take. I am assuming they have a pretty small team because I know that agencies like Dreamstime add 25k images a week.
