Hello, do you know this site ?
I just search and find that Europosters is selling a large amount of my photos printed and framed with a lot of sales, is it legal to offer photos purchased on a microstock platform for sale online and make a profit on them? at the bottom of the page I can see other photos taken by me for sale.
There's my name spelled wrong (a "e" is missing) and when I click on it I come across a gallery that has nothing to do with my photos.

Seems they are a legit Adobe partner, and you should get a payment per download:

I'd have thought you might have noticed that very large number of sales of your image, so I looked to see if that might be reviews of the site rather than just your photo, but I clicked on another pic there at random and it had a very different number (14.6k+, but it wasn't Adobe or any other watermarked), so either you get huge numbers of sales of files so it wouldn't have seemed unusual to you (congrats if so!) or they haven't admitted all the sales to Adobe, or they are lying on their site.
Contact Adobe, if you don't have the correct number of dls, pointing out some other pics with different review numbers.

Found one of mine

it has correct attribution and adobe number, so I guess this is one of their print outlet api partners.

Looks like they have 1700 of my files, starting with the most recent images.

Thanks for your replies,
I've checked the file number, it's matching the Adobe portfolio.
I have more than 2400 downloads for this file on Adobe stock and more than 3800 reviews on Europoster, im not sure if it means I should have at least the same amount of downloads at adobe stock, it's a huge quantity difference .

the reviews are for the shop not your individual file
if you had 4k reviews for just your file you would have sold several million, because people leaving a review for one poster is very rare

I see here any author can sell their photos on this site. Does anyone upload their photos there? What is your income?
