I have got $57 in my balance and requested payment in the beginning of January..

Now almost a month later, they still haven't processed that payment.

Anyone else having issues with their payouts?

Justanotherphotographer · « **Reply #1 on:** February 01, 2021, 10:12 »

I had the same problem last year. It took literally months to get them to pay up after loads of emails only some of which they bothered responding to. Best of luck, I hope you can get them to pay!

P.S. Good to see you on the forum. Hope business/ life is going well!

and don't even try getting them to payout if your balance is under $50 and you want to close your account.

You just get a snippy response then you get ignored if you follow it up

Sorry for your experience and thanks for the reminder. It's time to say goodbye.

I requested $70 in September and got in touch December, nothing in reply.

This thread reminded me to check on my GL stock account - there have been no sales there in years. I don't expect to live long enough to get from the current $20+ balance to $50, so I've deleted my best sellers and written to them to request they close my account.

It's outrageous that they should fall flat on their faces and still refuse to pay balances, in spite of what the contributor agreement states. I asked to be paid, but I don't expect them to suddenly grow a conscience. It was a pain to delete a selection of images, but it avoids growing my losses there should a sale just happen by before they get around to deleting my account.

Yes, they still owe me $50+. And they don't respond and won't pay up.
I have been requesting payout for half a year now at least, and also email them. No response.

They don't payout for less than $50 you lose it if you close your account

I checked their T&Cs

GLStock will pay to you amounts earned as a Seller and Referral Commissions earned by you in accordance with clause 18 subject to the following conditions:

If you have earned more than $50.00 in your account, then GLStock will pay a minimum of $50.00 through a Payment Agent (and in no other manner).
Other than as provided for in clause 13, GLStock will not pay any earnings or Referral Commissions standing to your credit in your Member Account which are less than $50.00 in total but you may use this to buy Images.

I haven't had a sale in two years and I begrudge them having the $38 that's stuck in their system while they don't sell my images

Oh they will pay!

It's just I wanted everyone to know that it's not business as usual over there.

P.S. Thanks! Life is as good as it can be with a very active toddler

Business outside microstock is ok, while earnings on all sites keep going down.. Hope things are well for you too. I haven't been able to spend time on these boards as I used to.

if there are other people not getting paid, they can chime in on this thread too.

I am sure they will pay as they have had a good track record up until recently.. But if they don't, then we can discuss our options.

Congrats man, good to hear. Been through it twice myself, boy was it tiring, but it does get easier!

Did they delete your images/ close your account? I sent them several messages for the last 2 weeks but no reply until now. Deleting one by one is a pain.

Not yet. I've checked back a few times to see. Each time I've deleted a few more images until I get fed up

I need to send more emails and be more of a nuisance!

cidepix · « **Reply #14 on:** February 14, 2021, 04:59 »

Well I have given them a notice via email to delete my images in a reasonable time frame and make that final payment they owe to me..

Sites like https://www.pixsy.com/ are dying to sue people who steal images.. If GLStock does not pay as they should and keep the images online against our will, this is clearly an infringement..

Pixsy claims to have legal teams all around the world and they seriously love suing image thieves.. I may use their services soon if GLStock does not come to their senses..

Well, the site is offline now. And I still have about $30 there.
What e-mail do you use to write them? [email protected] is failing to deliver.

They owe me $45 for at least two years, and the site has vanished.

Has anyone been able to contact these people? They went down with 400+ of my vector images and over $250 in sales. And i have been trying to get them to pay since October of 2020.
I'm sure it's a lost cause but a "hey, heads up would of been nice."
Thanks

I mentioned the Attorney General of the state and I got my account closed but, not paid out because it was below threshold.
You could also contact the Attorney General of your state and converse.
You can contact other public officials in your area who you think would be helpful for you and me

Sent to me PM I wanted to share with everyone and maybe for writing to the law or suing him.

His name is Philip Shapiro and he uses @Phillychzsteak

The FB page is gone now, https://www.facebook.com/glstock1
closed, [email protected]

During the GLstock auction when he tried to sell.

@Phillychzsteak could you comment more on what Reserve vs demand AWS means and how it impacted costs? What will be the current status at the sale of the company?

https://affnext.com/listing/cpatrend/ he can be found here.
