Just noticed the 1$ any size. 6000x4500 illustrations for $1.Yeah right . I'm removing my photos.

Cool today the reviewed my images I uploaded more than one year ago.....
I don't trust the site.

One thing has definitely changed since the old albumo, at least for me.  Yesterday I sent a request (using Contact Us) to take my images offline and to delete my account.  It took them less than 24 hours to do so.  And I got a confirmation email from them as well.  I remember contacting the old albumo a long time ago, and never hearing from them.

So even though I no longer want to sell my images through that channel, I think they do deserve a thumbs up for the quick response.

Yup my request to delete the files also went through very quickly.
Soon they won't have any images to sell though - I don't know who'd be ok with offering high-res images for 1 buck.

Interesting.  I just checked Albumo's WHOIS info, and as of August 2010 the domain is still registered to the same company.  Looks like it's still being run out of some guy's apartment.
