I'm one of the rejected contributors of Photodune with a blank portfolio on their website now. Earning currently at $46.16 and just under a payout. Bored with the lack of explanation to someone like me i just tweeted to @envato_help that question and got back the answer:

Hey Russ,

For earnings of less than $50 you can make purchases on any of the Envato Market sites. If your balance is still below $50 after 12 months, you can withdraw the balance to a PayPal account. ^RG

This has to be a joke right....... I mean really they're expecting people to wait for a year to get their money? Or have i just woken in an alternative universe?

ANyone else got this?

As i don't upload images with people that much have i just realised something that changed months ago or just recently. No longer is the "Attach Visual Reference here" box optional as it was it seems; and is also more prominant on the form. Has this had any impact on anyone else or will this make it even more unlikly for me to upload model based images to istock. People are reticent to say the least when faced with a form let alone one that requires further visual reference!! If this is the case i shall take them elsewhere.
