Default How long time to get accepted at stock sites?

I submitted about 50 photos to a stock site called Crestock.com six days ago, and I still haven't heared anything. How long time have you waited for acceptance?

you'll also find they reject images that you consider brilliant.. but accept stuff that is mediocre too..

Photoshelter was accepting stuff i wouldnt consider even to print as a 4x6 for a family album... send them some "average" stuff and you'll see how crazy this business is.
i think the only real reason they accept it is because they need stuff related to that specific topic. (Eg kids learning with technology)

It's like an actor on an audition. He can be the best actor in the world, but if the director doesn't think he fits for the role, he'll be rejected.

It's been 10 days now, but if normal waiting time is two weeks, I'll guess I have to be patient a little more.
