General Stock Discussion / Re: Canstock did not pay, thief..
« on: March 12, 2024, 22:56 »

Please! Do you have Canstock email or Duncan contact here? They have some money that belong to me! Thank!

Duncan made a reply in one of the forum threads near the bottom of the thread, click his profile and send him a private message, maybe he will see it: https://www.microstockgroup.com/canstockphoto-com/canstockphoto-ceased-operations-and-is-closing-down/

Canstock's email is "support at canstockphoto dot com"

Though I did receive my final payment without any problem, I have had trouble getting my earnings from them in the past. You need to keep bugging them about it, I told them I would file a complaint with the BBB and eventually I did get my money
How did you contact CanStock? I would like they paid me some money!
I contacted them through support while they were still up and running. They responded at the beginning then they ignored me but I still kept at it, threatening to file a complaint at the BBB.

Don't stop bugging them until you get your money. I think Duncan has an account here, you can try sending him a pm.

Who says the money is in escrow? And if we really owned it DT would have a legal obligation to pay it out if we close our account

I think there is more of a demand for photos than illustrations so maybe that's why

Redbubble is the only place I know of that will pay you whatever is in your account at the end of the year even if the minimum has not been reached, which I think is pretty decent of them

I agree $100 is much too high especially when the majority of downloads are .35 I think $50 would be much fairer. We may have agreed to the terms but how many of us would think it would take so long to reach payout? In three years I'm up to $87and it doesn't look like I'm going to reach $100 any time soon. And I think it is wrong and maybe even unethical  not to pay accumulated earnings to those who want to close their account.

My accepted pics take days to show up in my port, it's been this way for quite a while. Sometimes their upload is kind of wonky too

10
But don't brokers cost money?

11
That's interesting, I wonder if something like that is available in Canada. Was there any fee to put the money back into paypal?

12
You're not better at PayPal either. They just raised some fees as well.  Got a letter not too long ago stating the increase in fees. Not sure if its just for us unfortunate Canadians. Over here we get taxed to death over here for everything. Probably for breathing too. ☹️

Hi, I am also Canadian.

When you withdraw USD from Paypal to a Canadian bank account, other than the poor conversation rate, are there any other fees that I am not aware of?
Not sure. Sorry. All I know is that if our account is not used for so long, they charge us a fee. New fee is for use with some kind of transaction card. I'm surprised you didn't get the Policy change notice. They stated the new fee in that updated contract policy. Sorry I'm not much help.

When I get around to it I can always post some of the notice here or you can find it at PayPal I guess.

As far as I know there are no other fees to transfer out money but I just transferred $200 USD into my Canadian bank and got $258.82 CAD. When I did a conversion using one of those online converters I should have received $268 CAD. So Paypal took for itself $10

Never heard of Paypal charging a fee for not using the account. The new card fees I believe have to do with customers paying with a credit card

Just got my final payment.

14
Thanks for letting us know, I was wondering if anyone got their final payment yet. I'm still waiting for mine

Paypal / Re: Paypal new currency conversion
« on: November 01, 2023, 12:04 »
Checked notifications this morning and nothing. Maybe it depends on the country, or paypal hasn't got around to everyone yet?

16
Just wondering, has anyone got their payout yet? Each time I earned enough I always had trouble receiving payment. Hope it won't be that way this time.

Paypal / Re: Paypal new currency conversion
« on: October 31, 2023, 14:04 »
Where are you seeing this? As far as I know it was always set by default to the currency of your country. When I signed up with paypal years ago my first payment in USD was converted into CAD, I had to manually change my primary currency to USD to stop the auto conversion of USD deposits. I just now logged in to see if anything changed but my primary currency is still in USD although I'm in Canada.

I sell clipart on microstock, sometimes they are an element in my designs on POD sites

19
I'm sorry to see them go. Not many sales but they paid more for sales than the others I'm on

Yes they are shutting down, just got an email from Canstockphoto saying that they will cease operations as of Oct. 1 2023 and contributors have until Sept. 30 to request payout.

I'm sorry to see them go, sales there didn't happen often but they paid better than the other microstock sites I'm on. The email also said that payment could take several months. Don't know why it should take that long

Yeah, that's exactly the problem I'm having, the pic finished uploading but it does not appear.

Are you saying none of your 800 images are appearing in the unfinished section? For the past week I have been trying to upload only one pic, the first time I got a never ending rotating cog so I deleted it and tried to upload again but nothing uploads, the unfinished section is empty.

Anyone know what's with canstockphoto? I haven't been able to upload anything in days, their forum is down, and support tickets go unanswered.

I'm in Ontario not Quebec but I'm guessing the tax laws are similar, if you are referring to sales taxes then no you don't pay that because it is the microstock agency that is selling your images not you, you are only receiving a royalty from them. Your royalty is part of your total income that you report on your tax return.

25
Why should that be a problem? You report the money you make in microstock as income on your tax return.
