dgool steals all his photos and brags about best seller and uploads a microsoft windows background as his own lying that he made the picture. This is the low life that inhabits microstock. dgool couldn't shoot his own foot with a shot gun. You take photos have them stolen or have concepts stolen while sites sell them for peanuts. You work to take pictures that are rejected for dumb reasons and complain that reviews take to long. Then we drool on our face being happy that we made a sale for a dollar and complain that it takes two weeks to get paid.

You came here anonymously which doesn't help with your credibility. You only made a few posts and most are complains about microstock. All serious traditional photo stock businesses already realised that microstock business model works and allows to earn quite substantial money. You are too late mate (by a couple of years)

25 cents or $5.00 both amount are ridiculously low and there is no real difference.  Neither amount will buy a new camera, pay for a studio, models, computer or internet. 

SS is the only site that has developed the kind of volume that makes sense of the subs model. Everywhere else it's dribs and drabs - just enough to be irritating but not enough to really add to the bottom line each month.

It gets old waiting a year, two years, almost three years to reach a first payout, and the idea of waiting another year or two or three for another payout seems totally ridiculous.

LOL that is really funny and the contributor is probably a 13old hacker from siberia  .
I doubt that a fraud like this is possible at places like Corbis or Getty so maybe another reason why buyers prefer places like this.

Keep an eye out on all the major microstock sites for your own images uploaded under a different username. So far, I've found that someone has stolen (and re-uploaded) a large collection of my portfolio at Fotolia and BigStockPhoto. I have a large portfolio at both agencies, so the thieves obviously aren't very bright.

Just today, someone bought up $250 worth of my portfolio at BigStockPhoto with a stolen credit card.

Not been a good year for me at FT....Subs,odd rejections,below par sales, and now this!

Bad of them to let this out without any announcement too. I'm way off moving up anyway so I wont be affected, but I feel sorry for those about to jump up a level. Cry

All in all unfair treatment yet again from them!

This forum is comprised mostly of casual and part-timers with absolutely no professional experience,

I am sure a lot of others are like me, sick of the boards being spoiled by bullying and petty jealousy.

Yes you have 150 photos and sell 100 to 150 a day. I have 3000 and don't sell that many a day.
Goes to prove that thieves make more money than the honest hard worker.

I hope that the people who complain about stolen images are not using stolen software. On another forum a while back there was a thread in which a bunch of microstockers were hinting heavily that they were using cracked or otherwise pirated versions of Photoshop.
