Just a heads up iStock did a clawback today thus 2nd out of 6 drawbacks... :-\

They should have just done it all at once.

Yes. They're going to keep p1ssing us off every month until midsummer.

I guess you could look at it like an interest free loan, do something smart with it until then. Maybe pick up a few shares of SSTK and hope it's back up by then.

I think that would probably require a very forgiving nature. It's not nice to watch your tally crawling up gradually day by day and then see a big chunk of it suddenly lopped off. I'm one of the few who took the point that if our sales didn't qualify for the October cash we should give it back but it still gets my goat when this happens.

This just isn't my year! First the Clawback and now I owe the IRS as well! :-[
-
glad I took a payout last week ;D
Account Balance: $-8.08 USD
-
If I was clawing back, I'd do it in the middle of PP reporting and nobody would see an earnings drop 8)

I had them do mine all at once. Just sent CR an email and they were happy to oblige.

I got exactly the same email:
Today at 4:21 PM
Dear Contributor,
We are sending this notification to inform you that we have made an adjustment to your account in the amount of $-2.47. This is in relation to the notification you received on February 24th regarding the Partner Program recoupment. This is the second recoupment out of six.
I don't understand how these guys operate. And I wonder about the actual source of the problem.

Something just struck me: when I cashed out the money I received from October's PP, I had to pay currency conversion fees to PayPal (as usual). But if Istock hadn't made that error, I wouldn't have made that extra cash-out, thus I wouldn't have paid those fees. So actually, Istock owes me the unnecessary costs I made because of their accounting error.

yeah, not their money!

Good Luck with That...

Yes, the last clawback was timed right around PP reporting, so didn't hurt as much. I always request earnings on Friday, and this clawback wiped out my whole week's earnings. I can't even put in a request tomorrow.
I wish they had just gotten it over-with too. One of my occasional +1's for Tickstock. ;)

Interesting. Maybe if I do well on the PP for March I will make the same request.
Did they send you a notice or receipt so you can prove they removed all the money owed so there is no chance more will be taken in the future?
-
.... so there is no chance more will be taken in the future?
I wouldnt count on it :)

Since the clawback payment last night my 'Account Balance' has completely disappeared from my Macbook screen. I'm sure it would be negative but there are no numbers whatsoever being displayed. To check my stat's I have to go to My Account/Profile.

That's normal. it does disappear when it goes negative. When it passes the 0 again, it'll reappear.

Does anyone know if the stats showing for sept and oct 13 are the corrected ones or the ones before the clawback? In other words do I need to subtract the clawback numbers from what is showing. Also any idea how to figure out what is clawed back in Sept and what is in Oct?

Mine didn't change, i.e. you have to subtract.

No idea, but they said somewhere that it's mainly October, while September is only slighly affected. My stats seem to support this fact.

Not even an email for me this time....Just scooped out $17 with their mucky little fingers.
