Thank you for your replies. The image was not licensed through TS, it is a istock standard license.
Contact CR at iS, then, if you haven't already.
I will do that, but was wondering if anyone has had experience with this issue. This why I asked here.
I did, I contacted CR, and they asked the buyer to either reduce in size or alter the image. In fact, it wasn't quite the same as yours. They had it on a regular website, but had used FP, so although the image was small on the page, if you clicked on it, the image was full sized. Possibly they walked them through how to resize; in any case, the next time I looked, only the small image was there, with no clickthrough to a larger version.
Thanks. If a client bought a license how many times can they use the image? On how many websites?

I have found an image from my istock portfolio on a facebook page shared at large size 2716 x 1810. Can images be shared on social media?
Thanks.

I would submit the first image in 3 different photo effects: normal, retro and b/w. This is the QC standard at istock at the moment.

There is even 'better'... search for Battersea Power Station. The newest ~200 images by the same contributor are a series of the same or similar views but with different photo effects: normal, vintage ...b/w. I wonder which photo effect is coming next?

Which is the way to contribute to Getty RM?

Were you already planning on dropping exclusivity? Why not contribute to Getty RM or Alamy RM for that type of work?

No sales are showing up. Believe me I checked everywhere 
You may have had sales that just aren't showing in the stats. I don't show any sales since the 25th, but the sales are showing in the my uploads area, and the money has been added to my totals.
Hopefully it is the same for you? If not, that's really depressing...

no sales for 7 days at istock. Longest bad run since exclusive. What is going on? Nothing good I suppose...

"It works like this: Reseller A sells the product for your recommended advertised price of $50, then reseller B sells it for $45 to compete with A, and then C sells it for $40 to compete with A and B .
Even harder to compete if reseller D shares the image for free on social websites. Not surprised sales are so low.

Now the question: what else more (from higher prices, vetta, getty, more visibility, other things I don't know...) should I aspect to earn? Don't have any unrealistic expectations!

I wonder if all sales through Getty 360 are declared
same goes to all agencies no?
This is more like a garage sale behind hidden doors.

You should have used 'viaduct' and 'man made structure' within your keywords.

As a result, this site sounds like some sort of group that is trying harm iStock and resell iStock content without harming its contributors.
If this true, probably they don't realize they hurt contributors indirectly. Istock's global rank dropped 36 places this month on Alexa ranking. In october the site was ranked 395 now it is on 431 and every day is lower. I follow the rankings daily. Therefore I suppose less buyers are coming to the istock site and could explain why my downloads dropped 50% compared to last month and no E+ downloads anymore. I've heard similar complaints from other contributors. These guys did something very clever or istock's web security is just rubbish. I wonder if maybe these guys can have a go to fix the broken zoom feature on istock? Which anyway is not more than 10 lines of code in javascript.

Thanks for looking it up. If they are hosted on cloudfare, it should be easy to shut their website down in one single step with a call from istock.

If thats true, you can buy all your images for 2$ a pop and make a 9$ profit. Wow....
Yeah why would you feel robbed receiving 500% more royalties then you should?
Doesn't matter how much the amount is, istock will send an email for a refund soon. The point/problem here is how is possible that a scam site got hold and sells our images from istock and with no watermarks.

I don't see it. Still says "Under construction".
you have to login, then you have the option to add money to your balance. If you click through you will get to the paypal payment. Their email address is paypal@..... See the image attached.

Unfortunately the paypal function is up and running again on the scam site. I also don't feel experimenting with this any further, but someone from istock should definitely see why paypal has unblocked their account.

Thanks for the link, I didn't know about this blog.
It is worrying that the scam site has access to non-watermarked images. Which in my opinion means that this scam is more than just cross linking.
