Maybe if enough of us had a negative balance, it would motivate them to do something to boost sales! Everybody CASH OUT!!!!!!
Don't forget that iStock, for the most part, sells credits. They already collected money. Refunds are issues as credits back to buyers while iStock takes money from us and puts it back into iStock account. There is no loss there. It is easy to be liberal with other people's money. However, when cash sales become dominant, iStock itself will start feeling monetary effects of liberal refunds and that's when we may expect some changes, or at least stricter following of existing rules.
