Look like Getty is consolidating their operating entities (finally). Not sure what this means for those who have portfolios for license via StockXpert but for buyers it means you need to take action to trasnfer any credits you have outstanding to istock (looks like you may have until August to transfer your account and then...you lose it?

Everything is in flux. Their parent company Jupiterimages was sold to Getty Images. Getty have redirected the partnership with Jupiterimages Unlimited and Photos.com away from StockXpert and over to iStockphoto. The traffic from the popular free photos website Stock.xchng has also been redirected away from StockXpert to iStockphoto. Additionally, StockXpert's key contributor relations staffer, Steve Kapsinow, moved back into Jupitermedia prior to the sale of Jupiterimages and hasn't been replaced. While it's still very early, many contributors - myself included - are finding StockXpert revenue holding steady. Getty Images haven't said publicly what their plans are for StockXpert, but given the above changes it doesn't look like they plan to invest anything going forward. -Lee Hi Terry,

I notice it's been some time since the last response to this review. I just signed up to Stockxpert a few days ago. They did send me an email telling me I passed and within 12 hours none the less. I started uploading and within an hour I had uploaded 30 images and another hour and half of them had been accepted. Woke up the next morning to find all of them accepted. So I uploaded more and now have around 60-70 images up and noticed the turn around time for acceptance is very fast (hours). So far I have 100% acceptance but I am on some pretty tough acceptance sights and still get into the high 90's%. Now I have not sold anything yet but it's been less than a week and I am sure it takes awhile for the images to get into the system and get found. I have about 1,000 images in my arsenal and will keep uploading to stockxpert and see what happens. I would love to hear from some of those that have been there awhile to see what they think. Since they don't have a forum it's kind of hard to tell what's going on. I just thought I would throw my 2¢ in here. I notice it’s been some time since the last response to this review.

I uploaded my first images to Stockxpert 1/2/09, they accepted all but two or three the the 34 images, and within 3-4 days I sold two images. (images which were rejected by the other agencies.) I have images with Dreamstime, generally have a 40% acceptance rate, and have yet to sell any images in the month I've been with them. Fotolia finally got around to choosing my images and picked 3 out of 16. Acceptance rate with istockphoto and Shutterstock have been zero, apparently due to digital noise. It is interesting to see who chooses what since all the same images were submitted to all the agencies. So far I can't complain about Stockxpert.

Though I had to remove the StockXpert cookies to get it working again. Try that and see if it helps you. Cheers, Lee. Hi Nancy,

They've been "MOVING to a new site" since Saturday. Are they out of business? What about the $$ in credits on account? What’s going on with stockXpert.com?
