I just received this e-mail from PayPal/Bigstock:
Here is your commission check, thanks for being part of BigStockPhoto.com! We received many offers for the free image of the week. We will be adding a couple more free images per week and will let you know if your image was used. Thank you, have a fantastic week. Kind regards, BigStock
Let me know if my image was used? Don't I have to agree to this? Or is this just a canned message that I can ignore.

You are right, you have to give permission by sending an email to Dawn at BigStock. I didn't give permission either and I didn't recieve the message you received, so I hope they aren't trawling your gallery for free images. I would send an email to [email protected] to express your concern and to confirm you have not given any permission to give your images away for free.

I did send a note tonight so we'll see what they say.
Just to clarify: I did request a payout a couple days ago, so that is not what was in doubt. But their notice about thanks for the free image was in question.
I haven't yet, but I would definitely offer a free photo. I don't think it is appropriate for an agency to randomly pick the photo from your portfolio though. I would never offer something that sells elsewhere free any where, but Bigstock wants to do the picking, so no thanks.
