OMG, it is surely long thread to read.

I've been in microstock since early 2008, 3 year for me to be in this.
Istock was a promising stock sites that time. for the last 2 years, i can even predict my growth, like ebb and flow keep repeating, but suddenly this last 2 month things get worst.
It's not only the commission goes down even the download goes down like cut in half, while on other sites I got rapid growth in income, it is like buyers moving on from istock to other stock sites.

Plus the whole bugs like that, i can't even imagine they keep doing business with the whole mess up on their sites
Wow, I thought after iStock being under Getty, their website gonna be better. But it really like a sites full of trouble and problem. I don't know how about their credibility in the eyes of buyers.

pppffff, I just want to say that I am really disappointing with iStock ( it crossed on my mind half year ago to jump in their exclusivity, that makes me relieve that I didn't do it that time )

Some internal on DT really make me confuse about lots of things,
other thing beside ITIN - that will take a lot of my time and money, because I have to got to capital city just to process it with not cheap in my country

Plus all the other agency that I have already submitted the form only deducted 10% from US selling, but DT keep telling me they have to deduct 15% by showing the same treaty that I read when tax withholding issue arise the first time. And they keep telling they do the right thing on those number (so the other stock sites where I submitted was wrong??)
