Hi All,

Is stockphotomedia closed?  I visited them this evening and I got a notice that the domain name has expired.

I've noticed the same thing. I still had about 3 Euros there (my revenue of two years or so). I think Stock Photo Media was overripe for an end.

They need to make an explanation. Can they just vanish?

Hey all  :D

Stockphotomedia may not be closed after all.  I went over to their sister site.... fotomedia.se... and logged in.  The English version of the website which is stockphotomedia.com (when you click on the british flag on the fotomedia.se site it will take you to the English site) is down... but the Swedish version is up and running.

Anyway I emailed them about the problem and asked them if they were still in business.  I also requested a payout as I had about a 20 Euro balance.  As long as I get my money, I'll be happy. My fingers are crossed.  ;D

Here is the official reply I had from the support of the Swedish site -

Craystone that is attending our domain stockphotomedia.com have missed sending us an invoice
and therefore stockphotomedia.com has been down but the Swedish side fotomedia.se is still working.
 
Because of all the holidays it has been difficult to reach the support.
 
I have finally come in to contact with the support and has been told the reason for the interruption.
The invoice is now paid and the site will be up shortly.
 
We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience
 
 
Best regards
 
Team Stockphotomedia

I've noticed the possible closure too, with the domain notice.

So, what happens to our photos that were loaded to their site?
