Have you received your cheque? We are testing this method too because of fees too high at Skrill to high.
Still not here yet.

Very bad month at SS. 10% down from Sep, 20% down compared to Oct 15, 25% down compared to Oct 14.
Worst month since Jan 14. Looks like Dumc got all my Els and SODs

These changes and then 7 refunds in a row - that's too much.
In stead of having breakfast this morning and starting to work I manually cancelled more than 100 recent uploads and started deactivating files (170 already and counting).

Any experiences, especially someone from Germany?
I wanted to avoid Skrill, they raised their prices (again), but haven't got the September cheque yet

"Please note that we will only consider deactivating files for legal or similar justifiable reasons as it provides a negative experience for customers when files are suddenly unavailable for license. "
As I read this, we could still deactivate files when we make them exclusive elsewhere (DT or FT) or sell them as RM at Alamy. These are "legal or justifiable reasons". For pictures with people we could just remove the Model Release.

How Little Money are we talking for the extender? It's the 1.4?
Sent a PM.

a) the money won't grow while you sit on it
b) a grip is nice but doesn't extend your capabilities much; one speed light alone will never be enough; a tripod ring - helpful, but depends on the subjects you shoot - if I shoot on a tripod I almost always do it with wider lenses; 1.4 extender - I can sell you one for little money, I'm quite disappointed with the quality (on my 70-200 2.8 IS)
c) the 24-105 is not really a portrait lens, much less than the 70-200
d) 70-200 2.8 non-IS might frustrate you, better wait till you can afford the IS version
e) you might wait of a very long time - and f/5.6 might also be frustrating
f) 100mm 2.8 macro (also good for portrait stuff)
g) won't work

I also wondered where it is, because I haven't been paid yet 
Also kidding, so please don't come up with the usual reply (15th of the month etc.)

So I got my payment for Jan/Feb earnings on March 22, but what about March earnings? Has anybody got any information or payment yet?
111

I emailed support with a polite inquiry after none of my images were reviewed for the whole of March.
I received a nice email reply next day and a very favorable review within a couple of days.
Try sending them a polite inquiry.
Did the same and it worked.

What I can see in your screenshots is a "Y" for "released", not sure if that means you set the images to "editorial". Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Started to delete my port, most of my vectors are already gone.

As far as I can see it's a bigstock affiliate site, and you'll be paid for a single print (hopefully) when a poster is bought there

Has anybody got their payout for February yet? I used to get it on the 16th, but today I'm still waiting for +150$ from Jan and Feb

Indeed, there's an announcement on the buyer side and also articles on financial platforms (I own some SS shares). I did some searches too and found some of the results amazing (especially with vectors). One thing that works perfectly is uploading previews/comping images from other agencies I (tried fotolia), to see if the file is also available at shutter...

try logging in through a proxy or anonymize site 
Call me stupid, but how do you do that?

If I sell rights managed I would have to delete it on SS. I didn't want to delete the image from ss...
nonsense. there's no such a restriction.

As I said earlier no loss to the world.
...but a $100 loss for me every month  Hope the former customers move over to shutterstock rather than to istock

istock has it, too (download it from somewhere in your profile), the others don't AFAIK

I guess the easiest way would be to check if we could find files which had never othewise sold, or very seldom. Mine were mostly loosely 'travel' type, from various locations (Scotland/Kenya/Canada).
Almost all of mine were travel pics from Northern Germany/Canary Islands/France/Caribbean. Client must be a travel guide publisher or travel agent.

55 for $38.50. That's exactly $0.7 per download. Nothing to be happy about.

Got an email today listing 55 of my images (all travel, mostly Northern Germany and Canary Islands) that were recently licensed to an iStock customer in a transaction that did not occur through the website Royalty was $38.50 (which equates to $0.7 per DL). Anyone got similar emails or knows what kind of transaction that is, what client and why the royalty is so low?
