I request payment on 02-21-2011 and still nothing. Almost 3 weeks by mow.
Unbelievable how slow are sales as well payments. THE SLOWEST
Does it worth to upload new content ?

For me Fotolia is #2, above Istock - so it's worth in my opinion.
But it's true that it takes time before new pictures start to sell.

Is that your first payout reached at FT? If it is it can take 2 weeks to process. That's about how long it took for me to receive my first payment. I've been getting regular sales there lately so yeah it is worth it. And I agree that it does take some time for new images to get views and sales.

I requested a payout yesterday, let's see how long it takes. It was to MB.

I requested at DT yesterday and today I was paid - can't complain about them!

Fotolia has been really slow with payments this year. Wonder if it's official policy now.
I didn't receive mine for Feb yet, but I can wait - maybe the stupid Canadian dollar will go down finally... the US/CAD conversion rate is killing me!
Would be fine if prices here would go down too, but they are still higher than in US! Ok I am veering off topic here....

Be happy Elena, the US Dollar to Ruble is not so great either; also off topic

No, it's not my first payout.

I'm a bit astonished what all this payout discussions are about....is it an issue for Newbies to post anything without intent?
FT pays 2-3 weekly at moneybookers and 1-2 weekly at paypal. Only at the beginning of the year it will last longer...i think it's because they pay their taxes out of the running business so constributors have to wait longer. The other agencys behave more constnatly but the others are "in " the business...the FT managment only await their salvation by buyout.

Never had a problem with payout at FT. Last one was submitted 3/3 and received paypal notification on 10/3. Usually take less time, mostly 3-4 days. FT UK.

Paymet requested on March 8th, received today - less than 2 weeks. Using Moneybookers.

Hi there, here also problems with payment. For over 5 years I request for payment every month and had NO problems before. Now I requested on the 7th of February and still nothing. I sent them heaps of emails and even made a phonecall with them, they keep saying that the payment was validated and that I have to give it some time. I'm starting to get a bit angry now as I got the feeling they are not taking me serious?!?! I also made a phonecall to Paypal, there's nothing there and they can look 6 days ahead and there's nothing on the way. I'm ready for my next payout but I'm scared I will not receive that money either... I really don't know what to do; has anyone got any tips? Or maybe another contact at Fotolia? Thanks! Melissa
