Hey James, what is the real reason for this bad business decision?
Has Envato trouble with the tax authorities? ;D

First the EU-Vat platform bull.sh.it than the "we are a american company" relaunch and now they kicking there best contributors.
I think they have massive problems with the tax authorities.

The important thing is: When you can use the money, like buy milk, what currency is it in? The conversion happens somewhere and remember that the PayPal fees are HIDDEN, it doesn't say: look, here's the fee, they just give you a bad exchange rate.

PayPal fees are not hidden at all. ALL fees are in the T and C you signed for when opening your account. don't blame PayPal for your ignorance

And where can you see the recipe for the single transactions? There is no recipe. Its totally intransparent like Istock.

Do you ever try to deduct the pp fees from tax?

The email on the 19th said we should get the details between the 1st and 3rd February. Nothing for me yet either.

It's the 2nd - what could be more between the 1st and 3rd.

yes! iam a 2nd or 3rd too! ;D

this idio.ts.  >:(
I know nothing about my money since december. They have this information and dont give us the information.
I think all contributors should make a campaign to fight against this scammers only deleting is not enough....
Istock is pure microstock cancer if they die it is good for the whole market.

Lets fight them.

83
cool another dead end project. ;D

I'm looking forward to seeing january sales in istock at the end of the month. Will contributors get email about the monthly sales and earnings?

this is the sort of thinking that make it possible for Istock to squeeze us out. Anyway. Why you not asking Istock?

yesterday I lost $101 >:( :( :( :(.

Shutterstock Please Please Please approve payoneer.

Better pay EU contributors in Euro. PayPal, Payoneer, Skrill is all the same scam.

Getty's overall tactical behavior should be made clear in the petition.

Remove the delete option and than months later reduce commissions.
There ironic emails.
The prohibition to quote from there forums.
Gettys payment intransparency.
And so on and on....

I think we should organize that the petition is translated in the most native languages around the planet.
I can help to translate the german version.

I think we should adress that to the whole Getty group or the CEO.
And we need time to make this petition successful.
The petition should run long enough.

signed. Great job and thx for that!
Another example of how important it is to be united!

Amazing, I signed too.
I also think we all should be united against all those illegal gfx websites who gives our work for free.

Next Petition should have the name: Contributors will STOP GETTY by demanding a minimum price! 8)

I'm speaking with someone from Freelancer's Union this afternoon. Keep in mind that this isn't really what you think of as a "Union;" they don't organize people or represent groups legally. So I'm not sure where this will go or how or whether they can help in any way. However, dozens of people have emailed them, so we did get their attention. ;)

Right now they're just confused and want clarification about what's going on.

Dozens of people! We can make our own union! Maybe a Facebook group for the beginning or twitter to be connected and up to date.

Didn't that happen once before, and didn't Getty retaliate? I was completely out of the loop then.

I think  that is a part of the main problem we need a union in that the indivdual is annonym for the agencies.

We can collect contributor email adresses to send out hot news.
We can build american, german, russian, french, etc. "special forces" to inform the buyers/contributors in there native speech.
We can fight there advertisement. We can make promotion with our own advertisement funded by membership fees and donations.

But the first step is organization to building our own network.

It all depends on us!

Oh i see there are some contributor comments on Istock-Facebook page. :o

If you google from germany "stockfoto" than the istpockphoto advertisement appears as second result on top.
If you click at this advertisment istock has to pay for every click to google.
When there budget is empty this advertise will disappear.
If you click this it is important to stay a while on the clicked site or do somthing there (search an image). Because otherwise it is possible that google do not accept this click for payment.

refunds and no payment for last month!

First they make it impossible to delete images months a go.
Than refunds, no payment and 0.2$ commisions.

Why only ever be victim? Lets fight back.

Suggestions:

1. Flood there support and socialmedia with requests.
2. If possible delete account.
3. Make them invisible by clicking away there adwords advertisement on google (they have to pay for every click and if there budget ends there advertisement is away).

We are many this is our advantage.
Lets give Getty a 24/7 "contributor service" around the planet.
