Anyone else having issues with the GL site not loading?

I'm just getting a blank page

Me too. It has been a nightmare getting payout from them for a year or so the writing was on the wall. I am guessing they are done.

No great loss I hadn't had a sale since the site was sold 2 years back.

A shame they walked away with the $38 in my account.

I'd guess it's totally abandoned. I asked them more than a month ago to delete my port, no reply ever since.

He sold it? I only saw the auctions with no bids when it was starting at $5,000 for the place. The owner was honest and disclosed that he was losing money, but had other tings he was working on, so hadn't spent the time on GL Stock.

40% site set your own prices. That's too bad.

Maybe?

Or if this continues for a couple weeks, maybe Leaf can move this one to the closed section.

I sent them two emails - Feb 1 and Feb 26 - asking to close my account (and asking them to pay me the balance owed even though it's below the $50 payout threshold). No reply - but the emails didn't bounce either...

Just re-read the "Exciting Changes @ GraphicLeftovers.com" email from August 2016 where they talked about being acquired by a group of online marketing professionals (their words).

That would be the current owner. I thought since the auction and attempts to sell the site end of December 2019. Good to know though to put the dates in order.

" The auction for glstock.com ends in less than 2 hours!

There are no bids yet so placing a bid now could win you the auction!
Make sure you don't miss out - place a bid now.

This auction will auto-extend for one hour if bids are received in the final hour - this protects against sniping.

Good luck!

The site was listed for $5,000 but had a reserve price. Then it was listed again in 2020 for $15,000 and no one bid.

Same here - not loading the site at all. I tried a couple of different browsers before I came and looked in the forum.

Anyone know of an email address I can write to to find out what they have done with my images? I'm not happy with them just disappearing into the ether like this.

Jo Ann Snover

The site has closed - there's another post about that somewhere here. I can give you the address I used when writing to them Feb 1 2021 to ask them to close my account, but they never replied - [email protected]


LifeofRileyDesign

Thanks Jo Ann - I'll try it and hope for the best :)

Unsurprisingly the email bounced. It was worth a try.

Any other ideas as to what we can do? Surely they can't just disappear with our images and money owed like that.

Unless you want to lawyer up then no ideas :'(

I asked them to close my account after the last payout and didn't get any response. Removing content manually proved unsuccessful. I guess skipping town was an option for them. I'm fine with that – story closed.
