Shutterstock.com / Shutterstock Termination
« on: June 02, 2016, 04:32 »
Hi all,
I just got an e-mail terminating me from Shutterstock and telling me that my earnings to this point are not going to be paid.
I think the problem with the image in question, it was just the one, was in error but that's not so much a concern now as I don't think I will be getting my account back.
I have been a member for over five years ish and never any problems until now so the abrupt response seems odd to me but again, probably not important now!
TBH I am just looking to hear from anyone who may have had a similar experience and what they did / what's possible to do in this situation.
I have other sites to go to but losing the payout for this month (earned during May) seems very harsh considering the image in question is a tiny fraction of the portfolio overall.
I will say also, when the reasons for the problem with the image were explained to me I went and did some general searching on the site and it seems that hundreds of thousands of images go against this also. Should I post on the Shutterstock forums and point this out, probably not ! XD
Any advice would be great. I'm not expecting a happy ending here, but I do intend to send SS a final message and point out what I see as the flaws in the decision.
