After having disabled all my images with them I still try to delete definitively my account. Last response from them: "Hello xxxx, Could you specify the reason for deleting an account, please? Kind regards," The response was short and easy.
Link to this topic?

I wasn't planning to do it, but changed my mind lately. So I left in Jan. or I'm leaving now: Istock, Stockfresh, Canstockphoto, 123rf, Depositphotos, Panthermedia, Veer. That's history for me and I feel great! Thinking about Dreamstime... I'm bored to tears with this ridiculous pricing  Staying with my Symbiostock, Alamy, Shutterstock (it works and I feel good).

What a difference a year makes. I found this response to Luis on a thread from just a year ago. I guess Shotshop doesn't have any qualms about displaying "the same images like the subscription stocks" anymore considering their alliance with DP.
... thanks for your interest contributing images at shotshop.com. please let me explain that we are mainly focussed on the german speaking markets with more selected images and even higher prices than the usual microstocks. It doens't make sense for us to display the same images like the subscription stocks. I am sorry and hope for your understanding... Thanks, you made my day!  This all situation is just unbelievable...

I'm not sure if it's mid or macrostock - photographersdirect.com They have fair pricing for RF, so I wonder is there anybody selling though this stock? I know they won't accept photographer with images in micro sites, and that's obvious (I'm thinking about leaving - tu much sales for penny, ech!). Anyone, any experience? Any sales there? Is it worth leaving microstock this days and work with fair price agencies?

done 
as they played deaf to my requests to close my account I now deactivated my 3800 files manually by hand took me about one and a half hour, reasonable fast but still an incredible waste of time as I shouldn't have uploaded to them in the first place. Omg! 3,8k uploaded files? So much work for nothing?  This is really sad. This is how it ends when there is no fair play, honest cooperation with agency... And, that's great moment for other agencies to take a lesson and draw conclusions of that example...

For how long did you wait for it?

It's almost a month as I send them email with few questions. No respond and I'm bored waiting. Closing my account. No sells+no contact=no images.

Ech... today I tried to close my account with over $40. I though this is my money and it's obvious I'll get it, but no way:
"As for the withdrawal, you may withdraw payments for the sale of your images once the balance in your account reaches $50 or more. It is technically impossible to withdraw less."
So, technically I just need more sells, which will take some time here.

I asked them to remove all my files from ALL partner programs and API re-seller sites... Three times.
Last reply was on Monday: Your portfolio will be removed from our partner programs and API re-seller sites as soon as possible.
And yes, all files are today still active on all partner programs and API re-seller sites. I'm sure I've said it before: "It will take some time to remove your portfolio from API re-seller/partner sites.""What this "some time" means? Weeks, months, year, how much time? Please, qualify your informations"."I cannot tell you the exact time, it make take up to one month. Your portfolio will be removed from our partner programs and API re-seller sites as soon as possible."

Ok, fresh info from Rusmediabank, they've changed their mind and you can add them as partner site of 123rf.

I'm gonna crazy  Rusmediabank sells my images. They say they have it from Imagebroker... and I should not worry as I will be paid for every sell (I didn't). I don't know Imagebroker... Anybody?

We ewidently have a good lesson today - read your agreement before first upload.
As an author, photographer (or any other artist) you must take care of your work, that's obvious. You decide where images go, who sells them, how, for what price, what partners (never again! That is no control), etc...
I'm so dissapointed with all that situation, I feel done in... and just can't believe that. Of course, that's my fault, that I didn't understand agreement for 3 years (I read it before). Today it's to late to repair my mistake but I can make the decision for future - no more partner programs, re-sellers, secret PP list, no control, ... They have their business, I have mine. I don't want to be part of this game. Phew!
About agencies - who wants to much, gets nothing. In Polish it is: sly man looses twice.

DP: "Yes, you get $0,30 even though our API re-seller sells a file for 24.90. Our API re-sellers have the right to set their own prices. If you want to opt out of all our partner programs, please confirm and your files will be sold only on depositphotos.com"Me: "Yes, absolutely OPT me OUT of any partner programs and re-sellers now."DP: "...It will take some time to remove your portfolio from API re-seller/partner sites".I'm waiting only for the replay to my question - what is the "some time". Why should I have worries? I think it's clear situation... If I find my images anywhere else, they immediately loose my 1k files (every day some sells) and that's it. They're to low earner for me to be sad after all. They'll loose much more than I do

As DP suggested, I've already opted out of PP and re-sellers... So I sell only with DP, directly. Does it make any difference if I deactivate all my images from DP? They will loose enought much with deactivating from PP and re-s. Or I'm missing something?

Does anybody know Rusmediabank.ru? Where do they get my images to re-sell?

After two years what we get... Regarding having an opt-out optionyour feedback on the matter is valuable, and we will still look at this as a future possibility. ah well, good to hear an opt-out will at least be considered i guess... Is the opt-out still being considered?
Yes. We hope youll see the program as a positive opportunity to increase your revenue, but also understand there are reasons you may not want to participate. The partner program is still very new, so were continuing to monitor feedback from contributors, and havent ruled out offering an opt-out option.
... I really wish you would not just "look into offering an opt-out", but actually put the opt-out on your site immediately... ... We have seen too many shenanigans going on with APIs on all the sites...as the copyright holder of my images, I should have the right to decide where and when my images go. I decided to put them on Veer...nowhere else. You decided to institute the API program, not me. Please reconsider the opt-out button! Thanks.
It's too easy to say 'yeah yeah we're considering this', while honestly, i don't think you *really* are considering it, you just "haven't ruled it out", which is a very different connotation. ... On the other hand, I still have the right to know WHERE my images are going. Veer has been good about informing us of that, but without an opt-out, it really makes no difference that we are being informed of where the images are, does it? What if I decide I don't want anything to do with Snapfish (this is just a rhetorical question), my only option is to delete my port at Veer. That's seems a little silly to me. Just sayin'. The more partner agencys VEER works with, the more I want an opt-out-function as well!
Two years after that we can still forget it (fresh e-mail): "There is no opt in/out of the partner program. This is a call that we make on your behalf"...

I think DP should come here and explain in clear and unambiguous terms what they intend to do about what is blatantly a deceitful act. If the intention of a contributer to opt out of partner program because the terms are unacceptable - then that should be across the board with ALL parnters - whether you like to call them partners or resellers, who cares, we want opt out because WE DONT WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF!!
You wish!  Meanwhile I got replay for my email: "Yes, you get $0,30 even though our API re-seller sells a file for 24.90. Our API re-sellers have the right to set their own prices. If you want to opt out of all our partner programs, please confirm and your files will be sold only on depositphotos.com"Short and precise...  Nauseating reality.

This thing could become a case for a lawyer! Oooh yes! There is many things to do for lawyer, and not even one lawyer ready to go for it... Strange... And I mean all stock agencies, all market is full of surprises, not only DP, CanStockPhoto or IS.... Before you guys close your accounts, what about talk to them about changes? Maybe they'll be interested in sharing good % of re-sell price? Lets say image was sold for 69$, so you (author) get 40%, and they share the rest - DP and PP site?
