I thought when I signed up with deposit photos six months ago they were using some alternative (Russian based?) payment system to make direct deposits into bank accounts. Now I find that they say they will only pay by Moneybookers or Paypal, neither of which are available to me.

This is as welcome as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. I've already got about $500 owed to me that I can't get my hands on (not all from DP) and it looks like it will soon be thousands.

Am I confused or have they changed their payout rules?

Does anyone know how to get round this?

Have you tried asking them if they are prepared to pay by check or are prepared to assist you? 

I contacted support, they said: "Unfortunately the only options to withdraw your money are Paypal or Moneybookers", so it seems as if they are not interested in sending cheques or making money transfers.

They really should consider it (is there anybody listening?) because there are countries where receiving payments from these services is illegal, even if some people lie on the legal agreement to get the service. It shouldn't be a requirement to make a false legal declaration so you can get round what I presume are US money laundering regulations.

That is a terrible position to be in.    I had a near similar problem with no banks in South Africa being able to deal with any of these payment methods (only checks). That only changed now a bit more than a year ago.

Do you not perhaps have friends or family in another country who can assist you in getting the money for you?

Sorry to hear it.  I don't know why I had the idea they had Payoneer.  Maybe it's something they should consider, or better yet the direct transfers.  

Me and a lot of other people have the same problem too. Fotolia has the same Problem. I asked both many times for payoneer, but I guess they are simply too lazy. Especially DP is now big and can start too ignore contributors.

Currently DP is not partnered with Payoneer. It is something I have passed on and we will look into. Allow me to suggest contacting them and requesting they add Payoneer, we have found that user input holds a lot of influence in this situations.
