I've basically had Shutterstock automatically deducting money from my account buying 5 images at a time. I noticed that I had paid for 8 images and went okay that's weird. Then I saw the reviews here and completely concur with the negative comments made about Shutterstock. These guys must have had loads of complaints and yet they fail to correct their system. Why? Because there is a lot of money in rorting customers. Bad news - find other stock image sites to buy from.

I've dealt a lot with outsourcing graphics work to people all over the world. I myself am a graphics person but find it easier to outsource some work. Used fiverr once and wouldn't use again. After posting a very clear brief I got spammed by idiots who clearly hadn't read the brief. The person I did put the job to (not for $5 but $35 to hopefully get some quality) then fed me lines of rubbish and failed to deliver the work. This is currently in dispute but the reality is if you want dodgy Asian talent who may or may not deliver (let's not even talk about quality) outsource your work elsewhere.
