I deleted my photos on Twenty20 and deactivated my account. If you are a photographer you should avoid uploading your photos there. Even one star is too much for this scam site

There are a lot of stollen photos. There are a lot of user with multiple accounts. These can be easy identified but Twenty20 does nothing about it. But they are suspending real photographers if they sale their own photos on another stock sides, although it is allowed according to the contributed terms. So Twenty20 does not follow their own terms. I have deleted my account completely. Adobe, Shutterstock or Getty are much better.

I sold 11 photos and never got paid. What a ripoff.

I am a photographer with Twenty20! Stellar support on their end, and good payment as well. I had some issues with my account, but their back end support was stellar!

I looked into this site because a client wanted to use one of their photos. Their website is hellishly annoying. They won't let you browse their collection without creating an account, which I think is a waste--I wanted to check the sizes of their photos before committing. But I went ahead and created an account, and now they won't let me browse the site without choosing to follow "curated collections," apparently so they can build a profile for me and sell that data. I'm trying to get legitimate stock photos, not create some kind of personal mood board. I won't be using them again, if I can help it.

I am a photographer selling on their site. I uploaded over 5000 photos, put tags to only about 40 due to lack of time and other personal things going on, and rechecked with them after 1 year. Turns out I had sales of $12 in my account. I input my PayPal to receive the money and in response, they suspended my account. Incredible. I have the feeling they stole my photos. What's weird is that you can't see exactly what sold, only if you win a challenge, for the rest of the photos sold you only see your cut, and not the actual sold photo. Both customers and photographers should stay away. At some point they will scam you. Can't wait to bash their asses on YouTube as well. This company should not exist.

From a contributor point of view I've found Twenty20 to be one of the best - certainly in terms of the cut that contributors get for each sale. There are also regular challenges for contributors which are great for sparking ideas and original content. The only issue I've found is that there are many contributors, mostly from India, who are copying images from other sites and selling them as their own. Twenty20 do have a mechanism for flagging them but they are still many copyright infringements on the site so check before you buy. Update: Oops, things have gone downhill rapidly. As a contributor their payment model has gone from $2 to a variable amount. What's worst - and this is scarcely believable as stock agency - they don't tell you exactly what you've sold, or when, or for how much! So you have to trust them implicitly that what they pay you is accurate. Accounting is now difficult, and checking copyright infringement is now impossible. Update: The transition to be part of Envato seems to be complete and images are selling well. Still impossible to work out how much and when each image sold.

We do have a similar experience as the others. Subscribed for one year, canceled the auto-renewal. Still they charged the full year amount for a second year. I got emails in return to my questions, however they deny a refund due to their refund policies. They kept using the same empty phrases over and over again ignoring my statement. They just lied about different facts without giving any proof for their point of view. Even zero stars would be too much for that customer experience. That’s a scam.
