Title: Massive Refunds
Post by: PhotoBomb on October 28, 2013, 09:05
Anybody else get huge sales Sunday only to have them all refunded today?
38 images of the same model, different sizes and amounts, from subs to 10 credit sales totaling about $60.
Knew it was too good to be true.

No, it didn't happen to me. Sorry it happened to you.

I had a $10 refund issued. Kind of unusual for DT where a typical refund is usually a dollar or less.

Very unusual - I've had the occasion single refund - but this seems to be a fraud episode to rival that of iStock.
Just trying to see how widespread it is, or was I the only lucky one.

That sent up red flags as soon as I saw them.

I did have a nice $16 dl from them on Fri, so waiting for that to be refunded. Plus I have been getting a lot of TIFF DL's at DT for sub prices.  I know it's within policy, but I have never had 5 TIFFS in a week or two for 35 cents.

I have had more subs than ever there. (15 out of the last 20). One was a TIFF for $2 though, which was a nice surprise.

The sub and non-sub sales seem to be getting farther and farther apart there.

I had 4 sales on Sunday and so far no refunds - I assume I'd have seen them by now if I'd be caught up in whatever scam you were hit by.  Sorry it happened to you.

Sales have really picked up there and good dollar sales ... $5 to $12 and up.  Subs also, of course.  They've moved up to No. 2 behind SS in dollar amount.  No refunds in quite a while.
