Title: Info on Stock Photo Spot?
Post by: SStevenson on August 05, 2007, 05:02

I just happened on this site, and wondered if anyone has had any experience with them.  It appears they pay $2 per upload, and .20 per download...

Huh!  Is my English very bad or there is a contradiction on there "about us" page???

The first say they pay up to $2 + $0.20 per download and later the say they pay $2.00 and no other fees to photographer!  Weird! Weird! Weird!

I just wrote them, to ask why there is a contradiction... will post their response... if I do receive one!  ;-)

Keep well away from them.

I clicked on their 'Conceptual' category to see what sort of images came up and for the very first one - a photo of a waterfall - the photographer has written:

Photo Title:  Close my account

Image details:  i was never paid for my uploads, this is a scam

This is a highly suspect operation and I suspect, if you send any images to them you'll lose control of those images.

Stockphotospot is a bad business and I am working on collecting enough info to report them with the Better Business Bureau.

They claim to pay $1-$2, they pay 10c per upload, they claim to provide customer support and guarantee a contact within 24 hours, I have been trying to reach anyone by email for the past year. Completely ignorant.

I uploaded my photos six month ago, but did not get paiD yet.

Their website will list the same photos under "new arrivals" and "most popular" -

the list is endless.

Spread the world and do not deal with a crappy business.

I do my job 100% and expect same from others, drives me up to the wall when it is not the case.


For any info e-mail me to [email protected]
