Hahaha. iStock have forbidden contributors from phoning their support number. According to Lobo, even if they are also a buyer, asking with their buying hat, but I'd never be able to find that post. He said never, ever, but Brenda, who is either on an extended vacation or has changed jobs, said we can phone them if we have a serious and genuine suspicion of fraudulent activity on our ports.

Paypal payout request deadline is less than 30 minutes away and I have had NO PP added to my balance over the weekend. Just sad.

The script to pay PP stalled/sht the bed/bottomed out (what ever phrase you choose to use) on Friday after 5pm. Working on the weekends is apparently not something the folks at IS have ever heard of.

And I'm sorry Kelvin's response was just snarky, unnecessary and completely irrelevant to the real concerns of contribs that the PP payouts are just taking too fricken long. He can be just as much of a D-bag as Lobo sometimes. And Lobo (in this thread) has actually been civil.

Notable silence from any of Istock's usual defenders.  That's the most worrying thing of all.   

I believe this means the apocalypse is upon us. ;)

Has Istock's incompetence finally reached a level that NOBODY is willing to defend?   (crickets chirping)

I still pull in more $$$ at IS than the other agencies...but I cannot defend their crap infrastructure that just fails over and over again.

People were voting on performance in June, and the new prices only went into effect late in June, so money was still good. 

I expect next month's poll results may look different.

I think I havent sold anything on thinkstock those two months. I see nothing yet. I cant even find the thread on IS to ask a question.

People reporting PP sales through the 9th of the month, does that mean up to the 9th, I had no sales because I see none?

No.  It doesn't mean you didn't have any.  Most people reporting sales up to the 9th only are showing a trickle.  The few PP sales I am showing so far are only about 5% of what I would normally be showing for those days.

It means the staff at iStock are incompetent. I have one sale around May 6th and I should have many dozens.

My sales at shutterstock continue to rise every month, while my sales at iStock dropped by almost half this month (if the month continues as badly as it started).

Excuse me, aren't you supposed to receive presents from OTHERS on your birthday, and not paid by yourself?   :P

Would failure to post sales to our accounts so we could request payment count as fraudulent activity?

I guess the real "professional" way to deal with it is to ignore the problem entirely! No news on what the problem is now.

At this point what can they say? I mean are we gonna feel confident if they said it will be done today, tomorrow, next week. Kepping their mouth shut may be a better strategy at this point ;)

No I won't accept that.

You might have a point there. LOL. Anything they say has no credibility whatsoever at this point.
