Anyone else having a murderous time trying to get paid by StockXpert lately?  They used to pay out regular as clockwork.  The site still says 3 days, but the last time I got paid it took over a week and only came after I contacted support to find out what was up.  

Now it's been over a week again since requesting a payout and letter to support was not responded to this time.  

It's really so sad.  This site is still a good performer, but Getty seem to have written them off.  Now apparently they don't even have the staff necessary to keep up with payouts?  

what is going on over there ???

I requested a payout on July 21 (yesterday). I will keep you posted if I receive mine in 3 days, like the site says.

Interesting to see people starting too many threads about StockXpert after getty acquired them.

There are threads about business going down. Or threads about rejections and review times.

-The payouts have been fine and no changes at all for me after getty bought them.
- The business is better than ever. No effects of getty yet. Though, it will go down in a couple of months because the JIU and photos.com subscriptions will be cancelled through StockXpert.
- Acceptance ratio is exactly the same as before.

I believe you don't need to worry, they might be late a bit.. But you will get your money very soon I think!  :)

I remember waiting much longer than a week a few times before the takeover.  Just forget about it and you will get paid.  I have waited weeks with several of the sites at times.

Hope you are right Cidepix and Sharpshot.

The odd late payment is normal for most of the sites and not a big deal, but this seems to become a pattern lately with StockXpert.  Not to mention that you can't request another payout with them while you have outstanding, so they can sit on a big sum of money while they hold back payouts.  :(

My sales have dried up for months after the best performance earlier this year. I am almost reaching payout ; close but no cigar. I am wondering if I ask to delete my account , would they pay me what's been cumulative even though I have about 10 bucks left for payout.
I don't even think I would reach payout at this rate as there has been no sales for 3 months already. Like they abandoned me for dead.
Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear your situation Puravida. 

I seriously doubt they will pay you before you reach payout level.  Most of the sites have language in their TOS that states if you cancel your account before reaching payout level you forfeit the money. 

I would hang in there and pray for that extra $10.

thx pixelbytes,
it would take a great miracle for me to reach payout at this rate. it must have been because i decided to opt out on subs.  anyway, if you guys are having trouble getting paid, i highly doubt if they would pay me if i quit now.
so let's hope StockXpert Easter comes soon for me, lol.

I agree PB, StockXpert used to be such a good site . Now I am not so sure anymore.
Perharps Stockxpert is like the step child of a new marriage between divorced parents. Once a favourite child now completely left out in the cold.
Poor baby, I miss those days when Stockxpert was so vibrant and the reviews were so there.
Now, it seems like nowhere , man !

What a way to kill a good site ! Pity !

UPDATE: btw, I wrote Support to ask about my own account too. Here's hoping I get a response. Has anyone here tried writing Support?

StockXpert has dried up for me.  I am "no where near" any kind of payout at the moment and am lucky to game a couple dollars a month.  I'm gonna convert my earnings to credits, find someone nice who is near payout and buy something of theirs, then delete my portfolio.

It's time for Getty to put StockXpert out of its misery.  Someone, please, turn out the lights and lock the doors.  I can do without the 60 cents it makes me every month.

always been a very good performer for me, $400+ a month, last month down a bit but nothing to worry about yet, so I hope they're not about to close the doors!

I'm sure puravida would be interested in your kind jesture.


I think StockXpert has forgotten my portfolio existed. I am thinking of deleting my account. I wonder if they would give me my money even though I am about 10 bucks shy of payout. Any ideas?

My sales have died at StockXpert, but I did opt-out of the Photos.com subscriptions around two months ago; this seems to have affected my sales. Not that subscriptions matter anymore.

I feel the opposite.  Sales for me are still good there, but what does it matter if you can't get paid?

@tan510jomast - I wrote support.  It worked a couple of weeks ago - I got paid within 24 hours of writing.  But I wrote this time and no response and no payment. 

Anyone else kinda pi$$ed we have to go with our hat in hands begging for a payout?

That's the reason: subs

By opting out, you guys killed your files on the most downloaded sort order unfortunately.

That was the only reason I opted-in. Not for 0.30 cents! Not because I enjoy the subs! Only to be able to stay high on "most downloaded" order and compete with others who opted-in!

No Pixelbytes, I wrote not to ask for payment, but ask the same question as PuraVida asked here, ie. will they pay me the $37.70 I have earned if I  deleted my account now.
I even asked  politely if they think I should hang on, and if they honestly feel that   I will even reach payout, lol.
I hope they will give me an honest answer. I am crazy, no?

That's what I figured, cidepix, why my downloads went from best months ever for 2 months to zero for the next 3 months. I opted out, right after my best months, and since then got hammered with zero earnings .
My own silly mistake. I blame myself .

I opted-out one year ago and only recently I noticed a negative trend.  I don't think subs are the explanation, but possibly less marketing.

I really think subs are the explanation, because I opted-in when they started and I didn't notice any negative trend. The site looks stronger than ever to me, now that getty bought them  ;)

I do believe that subs must be the reason why people complain. Because really, my last 3 months are my best 3 months!

and no new uploads if you are wondering!

i think it's half of the dozen and half of the other:

a) getty wants to get more of us at StockXpert to move to IS , as they mentioned . so , a slow "kill-bill" nicely and quietly, so as not to get the buyers pissed off.

b) those who opted in, then opted out, are getting the shaft.

but, from seeing some of your responses here,
 there is still some lucky ones who are getting dls,
so it's a bit of a mystery
why some are still seeing the light at the end of a tunnel as sunshine,
while for the rest of us it's an oncoming train ,,,head-on collision !
