On Market Status

The ldquo;On Marketrdquo; status is one of the most important statuses for photographers on EyeEm.

If your photo is accepted, it will be available for sale on the EyeEm Market. As a seller, you'll receive a percentage of the proceeds from each sale, with EyeEm taking the remaining portion as a commission.

Under Review Status

This process typically includes:

Quality assessment to ensure the photo meets EyeEm's high standards. Release review to confirm that all necessary rights and permissions have been secured.

Once your photo passes the review process, it will either be set as ldquo;On Marketrdquo; or kept in the ldquo;Under Reviewrdquo; status if additional adjustments are needed.

Partner Collection Status
