"never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence" - said someone once. Either way is pretty sad here. It seems they can claw back and lower prices and move in pseudo exclusive crap on time though.

"A bit optimistic" is putting it mildly, since it is around close of business on Saturday and they haven't even started.

Who'd have thought another Istock deadline would pass unmet??

Yes, I'll be totally shocked if that happens.

There was a time when istock was my highest earner. last month , my SS is earnings is 20 times my istock earnings. i'm currently stopping all uploads until it's worthwhile to spend time uploading to this site.

isnt it obvious.
The treasure room is empty and they try to buy time with all means.

it started with the redeemed credits = growth has stopped and they try to make profit grow by exploiting the contributors.
Then cashbacks
Then money only one way deals , such as the google deal. (selling assets)
And now pay out delays.
for PP and regulars.

Thats exactly how a company reacts, when expenses are high, and the influx of income cannot cover it.
Liquids problems.
Panick before closing.

We have seen it many times, its common among certain categories of businesses such as used car dealers and sun tan shops.

Confused? If the end is near why did the King of stock join them? or is he strictly on the Getty side of the house?

JPSDK · « **Reply #156 on:** July 07, 2013, 10:40 »

He joined Getty, didnt he?

And I say:

"never attribute to incompetence when someone has your money in their pocket"

It is beyond ridicule and anger. It is just Sad. iStock has become a joke.

iStock has always been a joke Warren

...now they're a cheap joke that leaves a bad taste in your mouth...

Guess what? Weekend is officially over and surprise! No PP! Anyone's next guess?

Ron · « **Reply #164 on:** July 07, 2013, 23:42 »

Nothing here, but I dont know if I have any. That fact alone is unacceptable. Is there anyway to see PP sales other then waiting for IS to get their act together?

dhanford · « **Reply #165 on:** July 08, 2013, 05:19 »

If the PP is delayed AND the Request for Payment is disabled, that leaves a huge wad of cash for IS to manipulate. I wonder what they are actually up to.

tab62 · « **Reply #166 on:** July 08, 2013, 10:48 »

Any bets they will miss this week as well?

Phadrea · « **Reply #167 on:** July 08, 2013, 12:53 »

Surely IS who are owned by Getty can't be in financial trouble. Getty are very very wealthy or m I missing something ?

PP sales credit now MIA 38 days. The one person responsible for doing this, couldn't find the canoe paddle to come across the river and push the "Calculate" button.

Roughly a month late and they pretend to be a serious business?

Has anyone received MAY PP sales reports?

"Payment Request functionality will be brought back on line Thursday July 11, 2013."

Quote from: Beach Bum on July 05, 2013, 17:33

Exactly! Does anybody really believe the time frame that they've laid out?

No

no pee pee for me...

what's the longest PP has ever taken?

mlwinphoto · « **Reply #171 on:** July 08, 2013, 23:48 »

Well, since they are incapable of transferring any more than 14 of my files to the PP at least I don't have to be concerned with delayed payments. Sorry for those that rely on them for a significant portion of their income.

Up until recently I was happy that those missing files weren't being moved over as I feel that would negatively impact my sales of those files on iStock. However, with only one iS sale (for 72 cents) in the last 8 days I am wishing the connector were working. Not holding my breath.

This is it. It's never taken longer than the end of the following month.
