Upload photos and get PAYMENT
Shelma1:
If you read the fine print, you'll see that you can only remove your images after they've earned $1,000 and that $1,000 has been deducted from your account. it also looks like they charge "storage fees," so you'll probably end up paying fees while you wait for your images to someday earn $1,000, and during that time you are unable to remove your images. And i would guess the storage fee is larger the more images you "store." So you could end up with your 10,000-image portfolio held for ransom, and continue to pay "storage fees" forever, because who knows whether they'll ever sell on this site?

Contributors who can get advance payment must register in before Jan 1, 2016. We DO NOT charge the contributors who register before Jan 1, 2016 for any storage fee.
Hongover:
$1/Gig/Year?
1 image is roughly 10MB+ on average, so 100 images is 1+ GB. 10,000 images = roughly 100+ GB.
So anyone who uploads their 10,000 portfolio will be paying $100+/Year in storage fees until your portfolio his 100,000, which is nigh impossible.
That's not a nice business model. As if contributors hasn't been screw enough already. It's quite shady actually.

Whether you have shovelled sixteen tons or not!
But (to mix up depression era type songs) that's what generally seems to happen once the railroad is built!
Shelma1:
Supposedly they don't charge storage fees if you sign up by jan 1, but you still can't remove your work until it's earned back $1,000 in royalties. And do microstock agencies ever change their T&C's? (rhetorical question.) if I had 10,000 images I'd pass.
