Sometimes they withdraw money from your… Sometimes they withdraw money from your account without your knowledge under the pretext that someone bought a photo with a stolen card. If we assume it is true, why am I not notified of this?

super shady company super shady company. they know what they're doing. in the age of online subscriptions and free trials, you probably expect this site to be like any other service that gives free trials and charges monthly, but boy are you wrong. if you really need a picture, just buy it for $11 each (2 images for $22) but BE CAREFUL and go into your billing and payment methods and toggle off the "auto refill" that they've sneakily opted you in on when you buy your first image pack. The next time you click that red button, you won't be taken to a checkout page, verification page, or anything you'd expect from another website or even the last time you clicked this same button on this exact website. There is no "add to cart" on shutterstock. They don't even give you the upsale option to choose the $27 3 image pack like the last time you purchased the image pack because they want nothing between that button and them getting your money. Money will be automatically deducted from your card and they are non-refundable.

Beware their "auto renew" feature which is enabled as standard I made a one-off purchase of 25 credits which I used within an hour. Checked my bank account today and I thought they had charged me twice. As it turned out, they have a totally unfair auto-enabled "renew" feature which basically charges you again and adds 25 more credits to your account when you have used the last of the previous set. I went on the website and contacted their chat feature. They have told me that I will receive a refund within 48 hours... I will believe that when I see it. Why do this? There are subscription options available. all the have done is annoy a potential long-term customer. No morals.

Scammers and Frauds I never once made any accounts or subscriptions to this website yet Ive been charged over 400$ in subscription fees... I've checked all my e-mails not a single one has been, is, or will ever be, linked to these scamming fraudsters. Ive since reported it as fraud and reported the company and had to get a new bank card. This company/website is garbage and needs to get shut down.

Shutterstock wins worst customer service award This company does not deserve any stars at all. Different reps give conflicting information, cannot get a supervisor, when asked they simply get aggressive and stop responding. If there were an option for negative stars shutterstock wins the award for the worst customer service. Stay away from this company.
