Today I received this. I am afraid to click these links; it looks like a scam. What do you think? When I checked Shutterstock or Bigstock directly, no information about this appeared.

Hi Shutterstock Artist,

You have earnings in your account! If this amount is not claimed ASAP, your unclaimed earnings are at risk of being transferred to the appropriate US tax authorities in the state of the home address we have on file.

Here are the steps you need to take:

Complete a Tax form: To receive payments, all contributors must have an approved tax form on file. If you don't have one on file already, read how to submit a new tax form in a few easy steps here.

Request a payment: On the main page under 'Commissions' in your account, you will see the 'Payment Preferences' area. Select (or edit) the payment email address for electronic payments to be sent to an existing verified PayPal or MoneyBookers/Skrill account by clicking on the button next to your choice. Then, simply click the 'Request Commissions' button and your request will be sent to us.

Once again, please take action on this ASAP.

Contact our support team if you have any questions; we'll gladly assist you!

Thank you,
The Bigstock team

I received the same email. I think this is a scam email.

Upon accessing the contributor portal, a notification bar appeared at the top, stating: "Vector uploads are temporarily disabled. We apologize for the inconvenience."
I wanted to inquire if other contributors have experienced a similar message and if there's any information available regarding the estimated duration of this temporary disablement?

I have the same email. I don't know if it is not scam letter. I am afraid to sign it.

I'm considering using AI-generated images as a reference for colors and composition, and then redrawing them using Adobe Illustrator with additional elements. Will upload it as Vector illustration. Do I still need to show that it is AI generated? Thanks

Maybe they use Blender, then redone it on Illustrator

Thanks. Yes, it worked! I added a second email address and received the payment!

 I just realized that I entered the wrong email address for my Skrill account. So that's why I haven't been paid for June! I just corrected the information in my Shutterstock account.
Money for June no longer appears in my Shutterstock dashboard and I have not received it.
Has anyone had this happen? What will happen next?

I qualify for Creative Cloud All Apps (already activated), but why am I still being billed for Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (24EUR + 12EUR)? Does anyone have this problem? 

again shows big amount!

oh, no, it is back to normal

For me it is still showing big amount. I hope that my expectations will come true.

Is This Christmas present? Thank You Shutterstock!!!

I have 800 illustrations an about 2-5 sales a month

What is cta template?

Thank you very much.

I am curious where are you getting licence texts? I am not jurist, how can I write it? I would like only one type licence.

Is it possible to open EPS file with Adobe Reader? 

How to delete image at Bigstock?
Thank You in advance.

to better understand my problem, I put a picture. Please help me!!! I am in despair! 

Today I all day trying to figure how save EPS files (Illustrator 10).
I drew a rose, klick View-> Outline. The lines are good and understandable.
But the problem starts when I saved the file. File-> Save as -> eps
-Version: Illustrator 10
-Format: none
-Transparent;
- Font: leave blank
-Options: note only "Printers default screen"

Close the program, open again. klick View-> Outline and this time all lines are damaged, there is a mess! Can no longer edit gradients. What happened? Is this normal?

Which category must choose for illustrations?
I have anatomy illustration, may I choose 2 categories: "illustrations/clipart" and ""Healthcare/medical"?
Please, answer as soon as possible, because I want to finish aplication.

my account is deleted. I send 3 letters asking to  renew account or make new account. They didnt reply, simply ignore me.

Thanks, I will follow your advice.
