Any experience with USPhotoStock.com?

SStevenson:
This exchange was on another forum, and I wondered if anyone here had any information that might be of help...

USPhotoStock.com real?

"This site has been accepting everything, until a few days ago when the uploads would bomb out. No one answers online support and email to support bounces. Wouldn't be concerned, but it appears that the function that accepts money still works. Not sure if there is a problem or it's a scam. Anyone use them?"

"Never received a payment.  I have submitted here before. I have about $20 in payments. I am not sure that there is anyone actively there. I think it was a weekend project and then it sits without a captain.

I have noticed that the interface is very primitive and never seems to change. I stopped submitted to them, but have yet to pull my images from the site. Not sure yet what I think...."

I'm with them myself, and it seems that the ratio of views (quite a few) compared to the number of downloads (not many) is kind of out of sync, compared to other sites that I'm on.

yeah i checked them out one day a while back and what was said seems to be about what i found.  It seemed like a cheap quickly put up store front ready to take my money and images.  I decided not to submit. I have other sites to spend my time with.

Something interesting, I also have a very high - up to 76 views-- on this site,  no sales!!

But, if you right click the photo, you can download the photo at a reasonable size for web work, with no watermark.  As you've seen, there's no way to auto delete photos, so I sent an email to the administrator to delete my gallery.

Just a follow-up to my earlier post.  I've emailed USPHOTOSTOCK twice now requesting that my gallery be deleted.  Their response was to not allow my log-on.  Getting past that, with another user name, I did see that all my photos are still intact using their search engine, So, the only thing I can figure is that they are keeping the photos but eliminating my gallery??

Anybody else having trouble with this site?  I would advise anyone considering uploading to them proceed with caution.
