Same problem here! I am using Avast!
Can't understand why should I disable my antivirus software in order to use Stocksubmitter?

From DT forum by Tangie (Admin) - 12/15/2015
"Clarification:Some of the extended license downloads many of you are getting these days may be part of the partnership we announced earlier this year here:http://www.dreamstime.com/forumm_39797_pg1. So this would explain why you had so many W-ELs in such a short time.

Some of you may notice a change in your earnings balance, due to a coordination glitch on our end. As of this hour, it should be fixed and royalties are correct now. As you know, when it comes to such high volume downloads, we also offer higher discounts. Based on the credit system, this may translate into different royalties than the regular ones you receive for normal site sales. We apologize for the inconvenience and for the glitch.
We recommend you take into account the total revenue/image as many of you also had RF license downloads for the same images when the first batch download was made earlier this year and although the RF is included in the EL, no refund has been provided for those downloads.

The good news is that we're expecting several similar batches in the upcoming months so more EL downloads to come."

"The update reflects the high volume discount awarded. Our technical team added standard royalties using a special procedure since such buyers are not downloading in a regular manner due to the high volume.
It is entirely my fault for not coordinating the report more carefully and that perhaps, we rushed to report these downloads awarding rather standard royalties than discounted. I apologize for any disappointment this caused.
Hopefully this comes as an early Christmas present. As said, there are more to come, so don't feel too bad."

"RF license covers the usage only the first phase of the deal. They only need RF, so that's what they're buying. The sales are guaranteed, Google pays in advance.

In the second phase of the deal, Google's clients will be able to choose from a variety of templates, and this asks for an extended license, because they will have more options.

As it always happens within a big deal like this, we offered Google a lower price than our regular packages, however this won't reflect in the royalties awarded to our contributors, because Dreamstime fully supports the discount."

The question is: Why we don't get standard royalties if DT "fully supports the discount"???

Same here, but from $14 to $7.99

Every time when I recieve such "exciting" news from IS, the first thing that comes to my mind is this quote from Rebecca Rockafellar on IS forum:
"... We get it, you guys are mad. And reading the forums for the past year has made it clear that some of you think we are lazy, incompetent, greedy or uncaring..."

http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=349591

I don't buy images from IS anymore! I hope many other contributors do the same!

For the previous few months of 2015 my earnings on BS dropped by more than 60% compared to 2014! I'm not on "bridge".
This negative trend began since the start of 2015.
I think this is intentional move by BS!
We know about their ridiculous unreachable levels of contributor payments! I'm on $0.33 level and was close to the the next higher level but now I will drop a level very soon.
When this happens I will stop uploading my new images there!

Old thread alert!

BTW my sales dropped more than 50% since May 2015!
They changed something and I will stop uploading my new images because of this!

They already deleted 65% of my portfolio!
I liked Canva very much before, now I hate them! That's what they achieved with this policy!
I will never use their services or will recommend them to someone!

« on: July 03, 2015, 18:15 »
I don't know what they are doing but my income drastically decreased in May and June!
In the previous 12 months I was making around $300-400 a month.
May 2015 - $170
June 2015 - $140
 
What's going on?! >:(

When I go to "Sales" and click on sold image link if it's deleted I see "404-Not found  This image is not available."
I noticed this particular image because it was selling almost every day. Then I counted how much sales it has this month by the image ID.

Unfortunately they keep deleting my images! More than 40% of my previously approved files were deleted, including an image with 35 sales this month!
I still can't understand WHY Canva delete images with high commercial value and keep my old and LCV ones!???

« on: June 15, 2015, 12:52 »
99% of the sales are 0,20 = 0,22 $! The amount of sales is about 50 times less than SS!

I support low earners but with at least 40% contributor royalties and much bigger subscription royalties!

General Stock Discussion / Re: Photaki - the next crook?
« on: June 05, 2015, 06:46 »
Old thread alert!

I'm having a bad experience with Photaki
I'm a contributor since 2011. I think my account was hacked or someone is using it without my permission changing my data and even my name in the invoice field
unfortunally I cannot modify the new (hacked) identity
Surname: echeverry
Name: orlando
?????
I'm trying to get in touch with Photaki support...still waiting for a Reply
hey Mister Pablo where are Thou

Somehow I missed this thread and didn't knew about Photaki's scam behaviour!
Now I reached 50 euro and tried to request payment! Unfortunately I experienced the same as marcovarro! My name is permanently changed to:
Surname: echeverry
Name: orlando
Photaki didn't reply to my e-mails and now I'm sure they are stealing my money!!!  >:(
Leaf, please remove Photaki from the list to prevent other contributors to upload there!

Canva removed more images from my portfolio! Some of them were good sellers! I don't plan to upload more! They don't need more of my images!
BTW I am one of those 100+ contributors with regular monthly payments! Or may be it's better to say "I was ..."!

191
I was hoping Adobe to kill DPC, but look what they are doing instead! To sell our content without permission is a Epic Fail and a crime!
Obviously they won't make any positive changes to FT!
I will deactivate some of my images and stop uploading! The next step will be deleting my portfolio!

I see this too. 

I also seem to have lost the links to portfolio, sales, etc.  All I have is "settings" under my avatar.

I wonder why but the links are hidden in "Settings"!

Shutterstock.com / Re: SS Webinar about Referral Program
« on: May 25, 2015, 16:06 »
I used to make some good money and helped a lot of people to become contributors. When SS changed their referral program I removed all my referral links!
They lied us the program is for lifetime!
SS get the money from the people who helped them to become the most successful microstock company to give them to the shareholders!
The referrers who invested a lot of time and efforts lost their income!
They need new contributors who will get less money in the beginning.
No more referrals from me!

It would be great if we could maybe get a general idea of how many downloads top portfolios have, if yuri had 3000 a day, instead of 600, that would bring a different perspective. Or maybe his fathers post was a very old one and is getting quoted again and again over the years.

"It is a long time ago since Yuri only had 1000 downloads a day at SS. A typical day at SS had between 3000-4000 downloads!!"
http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/abt130434-0-asc-45.html


Hmm very interesting, Yuri's dad announced he's leaving SS but his portfolio is still active. Maybe he changed his mind at later point.

I feel now is the time to say: I HATE THE CAPTCHA!!!
How other sites manage to work fine without captcha?!?
Why 123rf penalize the contributors who want to see their earnings? I thought we are partners not some invaders!

« on: April 28, 2015, 13:11 »
I have less ODs too!
My explanation for this is DPC! We expected this to happen but a lot of contributors didn't opt-out from DPC! Now they come here and announce increased sales on FT! The result is more subscription sales at FT, but less ODs on SS, less credit sales on the other sites = less money in their and OUR pockets!  >:(

They removed some of my precisely chosen keywords and added some completely irrelevant! I can't believe how stupid is this policy!

« on: April 22, 2015, 12:21 »
I just checked and found out some of the most important keywords are missing!
Usually my images have 50 keywords. That's OK with all other agencies except "the most special" - Veer!?
No more uploads from me!!! >:(
