Thank god I requested a nice payout yesterday

Honestly I think they should realize that if they don't take care of this right away, then they might end up with a situation like this on StockXpert.

I bet they have to wade through a load of payment requests, reversing those and straightening out their books just because some IT guy screwed up.

I wish for once iStock/Getty/StockXpert would employ IT people that actually hold a degree or at least know what they are doing.

Oh *! I logged into StockXpert before I read this thread, and thought Christmas had come early! I requested a payment straight away, and now I realize I won't be getting it.

I didn't realize this site would delete my mild reference to a device to hold back water!

Yes, I've some words changed into mild child-proof versions, too.

I love that the link on the non working StockXpert page it says "For all your stock photography needs go to iStockphoto." and then you click on the link and you get a page on a non-working istock page that says "iStockphoto is getting some upgrades" WooHoo they should have another link to ThinkStock that says you can buy all the same images for much cheaper here.

Nothing left to do but try to find humor in this ridiculousness

Speaking of "Payment Request," I wonder how you request payment (or know if one is due) with the StockXpert site inoperative? I'm pretty sure it is down to resolve the "accounting issue" but what if it were eliminated?
Also noted that the payments made are from HAAP and not Getty, Thinkstock, nor iStock.

I am wondering the same thing. I didn't bother to request a payment for last month's earnings. They owe me money. And they remove the payment method without explanation or warning? That is not how business should be done by any company IMO.

Warren, so are you saying that all this time, since Getty bought StockXpert, that the payments were still coming from HAAP and not Getty/IS/ThinkStock? Does that make sense? I suppose, if Getty bought HAAP Media, which included StockXpert.

Yep! Payment dated 8 December 2010 was from: HAAP Media USA, LLC

I requested the payout before the site went down - obviously.

You know when a payment is "due" when you exceed $50.

I don't care if they cancel my payment request, I know that many others requested one too, so iStock will have to feel the pain of letting some 4-graders program their accounting system.

Just suffer the consequences iStock, will ya?

They should have transferred all images to IStock in first place...

Why make things easy when there is a complicated way?

melastmohican · « **Reply #268 on:** December 13, 2010, 16:20 »

They only reason to make things not transparent is to make it possible to cheat.

Blammo · « **Reply #269 on:** December 13, 2010, 17:36 »

And its up again, and the 1400 sales last reported all gone, thought there might have been a few dollars despite the "glitch"but none zip nothing, think its time i pulled my port i seriously doubt that were being credited correctly.

jsfoto · « **Reply #270 on:** December 13, 2010, 17:40 »

wow after THREE days they are back ... and ... now it seems that there was NOT ONE sale last month ... this is so embarrassing, so ridiculous, so annoying, so * UNPROFESSIONAL

disorderly · « **Reply #271 on:** December 13, 2010, 17:44 »

I'm guessing they're going to test their sales processing script really carefully. And once they're confident it's right, they'll report last month's sales. Better to get the site back online without November sales than keep it down for days more, or so I suspect they convinced themselves.

As if it was really important that StockXpert is online 100% of the time. I only need it online for 2 minutes once a month to request payment.

It is online now, all those dl for december are gone now

jcpjr · « **Reply #274 on:** December 13, 2010, 18:02 »

I'm thinking they picked a restore point from back-up....probably the only way to be sure of a smooth recovery.
