guess what? today after so many time i received my money  i do believe it has something to do with me posting on this forum )

@donding
jeepers creepers have you even read my posts, of course i did

btw, i wanted to post this story to fotolia forum but i was not able to do it, not sure why i havent had this option, so my freedom of speech was kinda shut down. so thats why i came here to tell it.

thought i will let you know guys, i have contacted Oleg, but no luck, im sure he is very busy person, anyway i guess its over now, now fotolia name sounds like a curse to me

Thank You Clairev, i will try to contact him.

Speaking about taxes, im not from US, and they took 30% off my final sale, but i filled another form they requested and then they took less.

i dont know what does it mean 1099..
i remember before all this mess started, long time ago, i asked support if they can delete my photos because to delete one by one is hard, but i havent received replied so i deleted it by myself. Later i received message asking me why i want to close my account, i told them that i do not want to close my account, all i want was to delete photos, but keep my account in case one day i will decide to come back.
anyway, i was thinking, maybe its my fault, maybe i made a mistake somewhere, so at least support could tell me, i was begging many times to solve my problem, or at least give me a few dollars so i will not feel like this, but the only one answer they can tell me is 'we are sorry to hear that'.
Something must be going really wrong with FT.

at least they could pay you the dollars you have earned Stockastic, we all know that at Fotolia every dollar is hardly earned.

Now when i talked with you guys i feel much better, screw Fotolia, i dont wanna have anything to do with them, i will stop begging them for money i earned, because this whole story really ate my nerves.

Thank you guys for the replies, its good to know that somebody understands me..

Yes i earned the credits from free images, but i also earned from normal images, so at least they could have payed me for that. And i dont understand why they promised me to give me extra money if i will wait few months, and then just delete me. Anyway, after they kicked me out, i signed exlusive with DT, and things are goin much better, but its still such a heartache to be treated like this, so thats why i decided to share it with others..

Hi all, i decided to tell my story, maybe it will help others to be careful with agency who does not respect their contributors.
I have been selling my pictures at Fotolia for a few years, earned bronze tan, everything was fine, untill the droped earnings from sales. Then i decided to stick with another agency, i gave more than 100 pictures for free to Fotolia, deleted all exlusive images and decided to ask my payment as im done with Fotolia. I wrote to support and got an answer telling me to hang with them for a month and i will receive more money, but they cant tell the details yet, they said wait and you will see. Ok so i waited few months - nothing. I contacted support again and asked if i will receive the extra money they promised and if not - i would like to receive money i have earned. They asked me where i want to receive my money, i answered them where i want to receive my money.
I waited few days and then tried to log into my account, guess what - My Account Was Deleted.
I created new account and asked again what . is goin on, explained the situation.
After long conversation and explainings all they could tell me is - we are sorry your account is deleted and cant be restored. I contacted again and again, at least asked them to pay me my earned money!
The answer im receiving is - we have already answered your question...

Im completely disapointed, where do i stand in this situation? I have lost over hundreed pictures i gave them for free and the money i have earned, they havent payed, nothing..
i feel like a trash honestly, been faithful for Fotolia for years and now that.. If anybody from Fotolia member could contact me i would be very grateful, as for some reason im unable to post on Fotolia forum like they are afraid im gonna tell others about this story
