I guess it's a normal survey; usually companies use them to receive a feedback from the users.
I usually receive requests like this from airlines, e-commerce websites, booking websites.

For sure this is the payment for your "first registration".
iStock site is not so straightforward and easy to use. Only the regular sales are registered in real time, and they are very rare (at least for me). All the subscription sales and the sales you make through the partner program are counted the month after: simply you cannot know "in real time" if you are selling pictures.

Microstock is generally only for patient guys

Are you the same guy of this topic? http://www.microstockgroup.com/fotolia-com/fotolia-exclusivity-25665/

You wrote that you closed your account in iStock, so you received the payment for what you had earned before you left.

Hi, it is strange because the minimum payout in iStock is 100$, and moreover they pay after 1 month, so it is impossible if you registered 2 weeks ago.
Maybe they tried if your Paypal account is valid by charging 0.84$ and then refunding you.

Thanks a lot for your advices and for looking my pictures so carefully!
I know I have to care more the keywording process; it is very frustrating that it is not possible to add some keywords after the picture is accepted, and in some agencies even before it is reviewed but I understand that it is necessary to prevent spamming.

Hello everybody,
I just registered to the forum and I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Roberto, and I am italian. I started selling on microstock sites last december and now I contribute to 8 agencies (in order of sales: iStock, Fotolia, SS, 123rf, DreamsTime, BigStock, DepositPhotos, and Alamy). I am a photographer and my favorite subjects are ***scapes (land-, sea-, city-), and more generally all the subjects I can photograph staying outdoor.
Actually, even if I wasn't registered to the forum, I follow this community from the first day I approached the microstock world and I would like to thank everybody for the very useful advices and suggestions I read here.

Regards,
Roberto
