Total Waste of time and Zero return on time invested.
Please dont waste your time with this site. Rather spend the time wisely with the other sites that give you good return and payouts.

A friend and very good stock photographer was asked by Crestock to join them. After he started uploading, they rejected 50% of his proven portfolio on DT, SS, IS, CS. They seem to be suicidal.

I started uploading recently from batches that were fully accepted at these 4 sites before, with sales. Most were rejected with the argument not stock-oriented. I was flabbergasted.

We are still both stuck with the same question: what is stock for Crestock? It might be that they have a unique concept, but in that case we would like to find out which one.

From what I read on this forum, they don't sell either.

They rejected all my best sellers at other sites with either "Your choice of composition did not accord with our standards" or "The creative content did not accord with our standards". What the hell are there standards?
After rejecting 70% of my 250 odd submissions, they accepted some of my worst photo's that got rejected by other sites... Go figure... Clearly shows inconsistency and uneducated reviewers.
Still zero sales and a HUGE time waste.
I upload a photo on SS and within 24 hours I have a download of it.
On Crestock with it's so called High Standards and High quality, they don't seem to be drawing the HIGH PAYING customers :evil:

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS ONE!!!

Right on that score.

For most of us they don't seem to be drawing any customers 8)

I gave up on these guys a long time ago. I've had 30 or so pics sitting up there for 6-8months now, and still - nada. I don't plan on submitting any more anytime soon unless I hear that it's picking up.

Who wants to pay $10 when they can pay $1-3 anywhere else?

I just did the same now. They rejected proven sellers as not marketable. I guess they are not marketable themselves. I'm getting tired of feeding hay to a dead horse. Exit Crestock.
