One page of these on SS and I don't see yours?

That's the point.  This image is not available on Shutterstock, therefore should not appear in their ads.

Which brings us back to, "are they using it"? Have you cleared your cache on your web browsers? Is SS actually using your image, where anyone else, except YOU can see it?

If they are, they you have a nice winnable lawsuit.

Shutterstock doesn't need to buy a license to use images that are available for sale on their site.  Like all agencies, they reserve the right to this use.

The point of the thread is that the image was not available for sale on Shutterstock when the ads appeared.
