Have you tried the StockXpert forum?  Are you sure you used the correct email to retrieve your account details?

Perhaps someone has hacked your email account and changed the email address with StockXpert.  That has happened to a few people in the past on some sites and might explain why StockXpert hasn't got back to you.

makes sense, sharpshot.
not only is this thread by george unfortunate, but could be useful for ourselves too on prevention.
all the points are valid too, since your account is still live.  please keep us informed, and wish you success in resolving this.

Hopefully you didn't have much money accrued.

yes, that especially.

my only incident related to this, is once almost a year ago, i requested to have my account deleted,
even submitting complete details . and i insisted on a verification .  the person in contact replied mentioning "here are the details pending deletion". to my horror, it was someone else's account.
i quickly wrote back to tell them.

it was scary, on the other person's case,  considering I gave complete description and tag# to each and every one of the said account so as to avoid such a mistake.
this could have well been such an error. EXCEPT that your account is still live,
so, it HAS TO BE something remote.

the StockXpert mystery continues.. 

No that shouldn't be the case as his port is still available. My guess is it's a short-term cock-up which, assuming everything is in order should be resolved soon.

good point gostwyck.
even when we delete an image,  although it still onsite for 24 hours, it will show "not available" when we click on that image .

george, the only possible reason is that you contravened one of the agreements.
-such as :  improper ID; images you don't owned; or misled the site in some form.
other than that, i really don't know what would make them do it.
what dya think , m@m, madelaide, ?
this is just hypothesis, since only StockXpert knows

hi there,
 you're still able to contact support are you? if not, one of us could do that for you, but i think contact support is available to you still.

try that, giving as much info of your account to them. let us know the outcome. good luck!

Thx Racephoto. I was a bit wary considering it came in the junk mail like most "junks".
btw, would the epson scan 2/14 and 4x5? my HP does up to 21/4 but to get good quality it would take forever to scan. so I chucked it aside.

Not all banks support accounts in US dollars. In Canada I know they do, but not sure about European countries?

you are right goldenangel. but here's the irony. Most Canadians who travel already  have a US$ account to avoid exchange differences. But  Ppal will not transfer to that . It only transfers to Canadian to a C$ account, which requires foreign exchange.

cheers travis,
i'm probably better off just buying a small TV, as i know liveview works . the salesman demo it to me on an HDTV . looks fantastic, but i really only need it so i don't need to squint at the LCD on the camera 

What camera have you got, if it's a 5dmk2 you can use liveview whilst tethered to a laptop.

hey RT,
hey Karimala,

 I have a K20D. Pentax. would it work using the PC Video cable to the laptop, or whatever?
I 'm looking at my laptop and it doesn't look like it has any of those connections. It did come with two types of RCA mono cables : one with 1/4 inch and the other with those tiny PC flat connector

Zeus, you could get a better line of credit by 2 % or more, if you secured it. Do you have other investments that you can use as collateral. If so, negotiate that with the bank.

That's what we are doing and even then there always seems to be  an argument about exactly what the lowest rate is. "ooooo we can't possibly offer that rate, oh well if your walking across the street to the other bank we do a have better rate for customers like yourself".  B@@@ards.

Yes, you do have to brush up your negotiating skills, esp when you do have collateral. Usually a mention of another bank wanting your business, and the chances of your moving the rest of your investment there, could suddenly get you a ,"um, I may have to call you back on that".
And then you say, "Um don't take too long!" lol.. Speaking with the Manager always gets you more, than if you deal with one of the agents.

Although I can understand that it is possibly less leeway now with prime so low, and the lending rate at what? zero.  Still, look on the bright side, even at Prime +3 , you're not getting a premium
like it used to be in the 90's.  So, enjoy it while it lasts.

I'm Canadian and this may not apply at all to Americans but I do see a lot of similarities. For me incorporation allows income to be retained and spread out from high income to lower income years, Tax on dividends are much less. Some protection from law suits against  personal assets, this can be a big deal if you own more than a 50D. The system takes you more seriously so as long as I am not being silly, gaining tax deductions for travel etc. is legitimized. I do pay more for accounting now. I just went through a hassle with my bank redoing a line of credit. They did not want to look at my dividend income when calculating loan rates and percentages. This was fixed. It costs more to administer corporations. A good accountant, and I would not take this on without an accountant, will tell you when you are making enough to make it worthwhile. You need a certain income before for it to make sense.

Zeus, you could get a better line of credit by 2 % or more, if you secured it. Do you have other investments that you can use as collateral. If so, negotiate that with the bank.

Can a company pay all of its income as dividends? I was wondering if this is something that raises eyebrows at the IRS.

goldenangle, there is a distinction:
drawings is for your personal use, dividends are paid from profits earned in the course of business.
you can fudge the two.

How I would love to feed the beast. However, circumstances dictate and I can only give the beast a low carb diet.

haha!  !
oh well, lo carb is better than no carb, Komar !   

60??  LOL!
My mother is 86, has Parkinson's disease and a host of other stuff wrong and she STILL looks better than this old bird. 

rofl, ah yes nosaya. but your mother probably did not have to keep running away from a Sylvester.
she probably surrendered to your father instead of wasting all that energy. poor lil tweety probably ran out of steam by the time she was not even 32   
the only thing tweety doesn't have is vericose veins , because Sylvestor would not let her stand still

What's turned me off so far is that certain people seem to be under the impression that they can (almost) single-handedly whip up some sort of commercial website, or that they can successfully enter the marketplace with an absolute minimum of venture capital. I'm also put off that the people with the most to say on this are also the ones who hardly sell anything - they seem to blame their lack of income on 'unfair commissions' rather than their inability to make and market commercial imagery.

As to what's missing, I think that to be perhaps one of the earliest goals any organization needs to set: a mission statement.

perharps the collective could try approaching Photo Shelter as they already had once the model of a working site, AND, they had a similar mission ie. taking on Getty. I recall reading their frontpage agenda and thought, "wow David (no pun intended) taking on Goliath !"
