Well, I just signed up with Crestock and trying to adjust my habits with other microstock agencies here because I found Crestock little different... Difference is not positive, unfortunately.
* I see "bulk upload" but I can do any bulk submission, that's very annoying. I hope programmers would take care of this issue soon.
* I can NOT do any corrections on submitted or approved images. I am trying to submit some images right now, 10 minutes ego, for some reason, site decided to title my Asian Woman picture as "delicious steak" lol... Somehow, same title, description and keywords went into the asian woman picture from the previously uploaded steak picture. I tried to change it, nope, no way to make changes. Also, between the steak and girl pictures, there are two empty thumbnails appeared on 'pending photos' section. It may be a bug in the coding...
*I have submitted some images last night and this morning 75% of them are accepted. Some got rejected. But, I found it funny about rejected photos that, those are the same pictures with different poses as the accepted ones. Same camera setting, same lighting, same distance from the models... Everything is same... And the rejection reason is: "overexposed/underexposed image" (?) Its like someone is joking with me... I could understand if you don't want to accept similar images at the same time and choose the ones which you like the best. Even that is WRONG decision! I have these pictures all micro stock sites and they sell as SET usually. Also, the ones rejected in here are the best sellers on ALL other stock sites. This is ironic!
Sorry, I hate ranting and complaining. I have never done this before, anywhere. I do my best to follow the house rules I am in and I respect the house owners' decisions usually. But please take this message as constructive criticism because if I am doing this ranting first day, there is a very strong reason.
Thank you for your time.

I am having same problems with bulk upload, there is for sure a programming error somewhere, the only way anything works is by uploading single images, which I just don't have time for. My problem is when I try to upload bulk I get images with an "x" and the keywords are filled out with everything from a previous photo, this is getting very annoying since I uploaded 100 images and now have to do them again, also my rejection reasons are the same, I have many that say limited commerical vaule or something of that sort, when they are office buildings that sell immensely on other micro stock sites, I think those photos besides the selling rate on other sites have much commerical value. It is very stange. Anyways not complaning really about rejection just please fix whatever problems there are on bulk uploading, many people just dont have time to upload one at a time. Thanks

Sorry to hear that you've been having problems with the bulk upload. We were recently made aware that the new version of Internet Explorer, version 7, opens the FTP link on the bulk upload page as a new browser window with a file directory rather than as a Windows Explorer window where you can drop your files. This has probably been the cause of some FTP problems.
You CAN still get this to work in IE7 by going to the 'Page' dropdown menu in the browser window that opens up and choosing "Open FTP site in Windows Explorer", but it's not quite as easy as before, and we would recommend using a third-party FTP client.
If any of you have other problems with bulk uploading, we would of course like to hear about it.

Add me to the list of the confused, I've had a handfull of images rejected here for composition, exposure problems etc. yet they have been accepted at other agencies and in at least one case has had a few downloads there. Fair enough each agency has its own image criteria but it seems as though I may have to think carefully about whether my work and this site are compatible and just work on expanding my portfolios elsewhere.
