Insurance articles on waiting status for 10 days

[remoteriverman]

My initial Insurance Topics writer pool articles (10 or 11 of them) have been reviewed, but have been frozen in Waiting status since Nov 12th (10 days). Is this normal, or is there a glitch in the system?
Cheers, Kevin

It's normal. With this buyer, they'll immediately put the articles into Waiting status, but will only make lump sum purchases every once in a while. They'll definitely go through soon.

Is this true of energy articles as well? I'd like to write and submit several, but I'm hesitant to invest the time and effort not knowing whether or not they'll sell. Any thoughts?

I think I've had at least a 90% success rate with articles for all the standing request topics for that buyer (energy, insurance, credit cards, mobile phones, broadband) selling eventually. Sometimes it does take a couple months, but eventually, they always seem to make it into one of his bulk orders.

So is this one specific buyer? I've had a real estate article in waiting for over a week now.

[tayalltheway]

I don't think the buyer who does all the other topics usually picks up real estate articles, so I'm not sure if you're waiting on the same person as everyone else.

Guess not. It's not in waiting anymore but it hasn't sold either.
