Mine have been regularly taking 6 - 7 days since Christmas and I find it best to just accept that and get on with working on some new designs in the meantime.

Same here, but remember that there are a few holidays coming up: St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Graduation, Teacher Appreciation . . . and many more that people are currently making cards for.  
 
I've found that you have to make your cards early for upcoming events and just wait it out. PLUS, there are a couple new people approving cards.
 
So, just keep designing and hopefully the pace will pick up. Hope this helps.

Ronnie, it appears you have 3 cards submitted on 3/4, 2 of which have been returned for edits on 3/8.   The remaining one #584061 should be reviewed shortly.  Thanks for your patience!

Hi, I'm another noob. I submitted my first 10 cards some time ago, they were returned for adding to a second category, and again I'm waiting. It's a bit off-putting for noobs, I'm still not sure if the effort of uploading each individual card is worth it. For something as simple as adding to another category, it seems rather ridiculous to wait the same amount of time again, and I still don't know if they will actually be approved anyway. It probably puts off quite a few newcomers - I've nearly deleted them several times.
I gave up on microstock for exactly that reason. Is it that you have enough artists already? That's how it would seem to someone new.
I don't expect preferential treatment for submitting, but for resubmitting, I'd have thought it was an easy thing to check, rather than go to the bottom of the queue again.
I hate to start on a negative note, but it is just soooo frustrating!
On the other hand - you're welcome to employ me for assessing if you're short of people Grin

Resubmitted Cards do not go in the back of the queue, they come back in as Pending - Resubmitted and get quicker attention than other cards that are still waiting their first look.
