Anyone have experience with that agency?                       

This is the first I've heard of it.

there is no "who is". I'm a little skeptical

I had never heard of them before either.

I went to look for the contributor agreement as it typically says something about who the company is - i.e. who the contributor is making a contract with - and which state's laws (or country's) govern the agreement. It also typically says something about payout terms but that's just 50 euros minimum and that it's on request. Euros suggests this is a business in one of the 27 member states.

This agreement is so shoddily written that I find it hard to take the web site seriously. There are also some unpleasant terms, such as

"You warrant Us the right to give some customers free downloads / licenses, for example for marketing purposes or as a refund. In this case You will not earn a commission for the download."

"You warrant Crushpixel.com the right to suspend or delete your account at any time without providing any further explanation." - and that says nothing about them being obligated to pay your outstanding balance when they do so (even if it has to be over 50 Euros).

There's a web designer in Leeds, UK, with a facebook page for her business, Crush Pixels, but I'm assuming that's unrelated

There's not much in their domain registration

I got payouts from them several times, but probably crushpixel is not worth the time and effort for majority of contributors.

Videos I definitely will not upload there, royalty is too low.

There are actually three options under every photo you can check if you want ( Adult, free and editotarial) So that part is covering option free, that i have no problem with. Someone could check that option and have problem with their photo being given away. So i think that part is quite normal.

Their are based in EU so by law they have to pay your money when closing account like Zoonar. When i closed Zoonar account i was paid Euro 2.80.

And to be fair when i closed my account at Adobe they didnt pay my 30euro i had on the account, min payout was 50E back then. That for me was unbelievable that in canada they have a law that allow to steal from people and even worst company like Adobe taking advantage on it....

Can i ask if you sell anything right now? Because that is my problem now. First month showed me i will get paid at last every two months if i upload more... so from port of 300 getting 12euro i got to 0Euro with port of 5000... I got very confused... Now i just stopped uploading.

Sales have slow down considerably. I suppose rising number of contributors equals smaller slice of the cake for the individual...

Last sale was March 31st.

yes, had a sale just a few minutes ago.
When you started there were few images in their database. Now the database has grown, so the sales distribute between a larger number of contributors.
