Working fine here in Germany.

ShadySue · « **Reply #26 on:** December 28, 2012, 09:38 »

Still 'dead' here (UK): FF, IE, Chrome.

Microbius · « **Reply #27 on:** December 28, 2012, 09:41 »

They are back for me

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #28 on:** December 28, 2012, 12:27 »

They are back for me too - and I discovered I've hit the jackpot with a second sale!!

I sold a small for 60 cents total and 24 cents royalty. They make 123rf look generous! Is that better or worse than an XL sale for a 31 cent royalty?

I only have $49.45 to go for a payout

Back 'working' for me, but that's a deceptive term for this site.

Yep, back up for me too.

Congrats JoAnn on the windfall! I'm up to $1.55!! There's the Holiday Bonus I was waiting for

I'm trying to leave, it takes 90 days after you tell them. Sold 1 for a few cents and I will be quite pleased when I no longer have to waste time looking. I don't like leaving sites but this one doesn't appeal to me anymore.

I'm a bit surprised there aren't more people giving up on them.

They're back up in California

Still at $0.00; I'm so crushed

I can still access from Safari.

I gave up on them when it took months for my images to get approved.
I still have 41 images in the approval bin and they've been there for 3-4 months at least.

I guess I should just notify them to close my account.

I am right behind you, pulled the string today . . . . . . . .

Seems to be down again...?

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #35 on:** January 08, 2013, 20:32 »

It's working for me - where working means that the site is up, not that there are any new sales

luissantos84 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 08, 2013, 20:54 »

RIGHT

THP Creative · « **Reply #37 on:** January 08, 2013, 22:03 »

Do they mean, "we sell the same images that are on other sites, where these companies have bought the images"....?

You are right, up and running again, but VERY slow for me. In terms of both site loading time, and sales...

I think they mean "some of the people who set up Pocket stock have sold their images to these companies in the past". Certainly doesn't mean they have shopped at Pocketstock

THP Creative · « **Reply #40 on:** February 05, 2013, 17:52 »

I sent Pocketstock an email requesting the deletion of my account over 4 days ago, and still no reply from them at all.

Has anyone had success in closing their account there yet?

sharpshot · « **Reply #41 on:** February 05, 2013, 18:23 »

They don't make it easy to leave. I think my 90's days notice must be almost up, I can't log in but all my images are still there. Hope to see them gone soon.

Same here but I terminated just 1 month ago . . . . . now I can't log in and my images are still available. I downloaded a Comp (380x249 px) just to see what is available.

Microbius · « **Reply #43 on:** February 06, 2013, 06:35 »

Sounds super dodgy. They are partnered with Veer now too, so maybe your files have just been replaced by the partnered versions? We are in the position where we can upload direct to pocketstock and get a terrible RPD and low sales or have work sent there through Veer with even lower commissions, and still low sales.

Veer need to end their partnership with the site, it isn't worth the bad publicity for them.

sharpshot · « **Reply #44 on:** February 06, 2013, 07:41 »

The number of my images doesn't seem to of changed, I have lots more on Veer, so I don't think these are the mirrored ones. Hopefully they will be gone soon or I'll have to email them again.

etienjones · « **Reply #45 on:** February 07, 2013, 06:31 »

My work has been removed.

sharpshot · « **Reply #46 on:** February 07, 2013, 09:49 »

And mine has gone too.

Microbius · « **Reply #47 on:** February 07, 2013, 10:06 »

The annoying thing is if you submit to Veer you are still going to end up with your files on there, just getting paid even less through the partner program. I hate sites that don't allow you an opt out, it speaks so badly of what they think about their contributors.

dbvirago · « **Reply #48 on:** April 18, 2013, 10:15 »

Had my first two sales there. .17 for an XL

Think I'm done

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #49 on:** April 24, 2013, 10:18 »

I just sent Pocketstock e-mail requesting my account be closed. Given the 90 days for termination, it will be a year since I uploaded there (June 2012) by the time I leave. I think that's a fair trial, and they're not able to produce. I have a grand total of 55 cent royalties on two sales.
