I'm so sick of fotolia * policies and I had an argue in a forum, next thing I got was my account blocked BUT my pictures kept online and funnies thing: I was receiving every day many emails "Photograph Sold" so I was selling pictures and I couldn't enter into my account, It was a entire nightmare to send and send and send again emails to support to remove my pictures online... Those money I made selling pics with my account disabled I lost it.

Welcome to the club. They kicked me out a long time ago for arguing against another one of their rediculaus and greedy policy changes that cheated all of us who helped found the site out of a significant raise.

.....read out loud with the best ticked off sarcasm you can muster up....
" I'm Shocked! NO!!, Not FT!?!?! "

Absolutely the worst business AND I dont mean just microstock business, I mean any/every business I've every had to deal with in my 60 year life (okay maybe except for the gas & electric monopoly). THE WORST. Only the supreme being of the universe knows just how far flung your pictures are to "partners' around this planet and maybe even Mars and Venus.....

I have been locked out of my account for a couple months now.... thank goodness, I yanked all but one of my pix off FT 3 years ago. Their business practices sucked then and it seems they
suck even more today.

I wish you success in your trials, sir!!! Cool

I'm pretty sure that if you have an argument in the forum and cross the line far enough you have your forum access removed but not your FT account closed. You might want to double check it as I would assume you can still access your funds unless there is a detail or two you have left out of your post.

Either way, they would not withhold funds you are entitled to so the story is not complete here. I think even Bobby would acknowledge being paid in full though his scenario was completely different than what you are speaking to.

I was kicked out of Fotolia last year, but they eventually paid my balance. It took a couple months, but they did pay.

Apparently someone was buying my images with a stolen credit card, so they deemed me to be "high risk" and closed my account. Fotolia doesn't mess around with credit card fraud - and the sad thing is that anyone who uploads to Fotolia is at risk of having their account removed if there is any suspicious activity (through no fault of their own).
