Dreamstime.com / Closing Account of Dreamstime
« on: September 23, 2020, 07:40 »
Since around begin of 2020 my sales on Dreamstime had a very deep dive. No way that I could ever reach again that high payout balance of $100. So it took me several months to delete all my files one by one.
A few days ago I asked to close my account, and requested, to kindly pay-out my current earnings balance of $38.54.
But as expected Dreamstime denied me two times the pay-out of my hard-earned 'commission'.
In the dashboard I see, that my account is still active, not yet closed, but that my earnings balance is no more visible. Only if I search further I still can see this amount still showing up.
I guess this company is making a lot of money from photographers who cannot reach their payout limit, and see no other way than leaving it with them when quitting.
Finally I am happy, having left this platform. Their practice are almost scam-like.
This is just to inform guys in similar situation, not to expect any human considerations from Dreamstime.
P.S. After your first reactions to my post I must agree, that my phrase 'almost scam-like' came probably out of a kind of frustration. I certainly DID read and know the agreements I signed beforehand. But I still have a strong sense of unfairness applied against the contributors with this high $100 payout limit.
