- False advertising
- Premium membership loaded with ads
After editing and attempting to save edits get a message that 'something didn't click'. At that time Photobucket locks up and the only way to escape is to close the link. Contacted support@photobook.com and got this message back: "We are aware that some features of our...

- Customer service
Photobucket - Oh man, what a mess.
I have signed up for the service for a full year (as they were offering a discount) mainly because they were advertising access to their API through the "developer" link on their website. When I contacted them to try and get the API key, they told me that they don't offer API. When I asked for refund, they said they don't offer refunds. Interface is extremely buggy. Uploads don't work: - Tested with a single mp4 video - failed - Tested with a single image - success - Tested with multiple images - 20% failed If I could give it 0 stars, I would. Don't buy!

I didn't like
- Lack of ability to download albums even after paying fee
- Account recivery process
- Unilateral change almost tantamount to blackmail
Photobucket forces their logo on my old photo and then demands money if you want your picture back. Basically holding my photo hostage for a ransom. And not just a lttle bit of money, more like $400. They could have gone about this a number of different and better...

After ruining countless posts on the web with their sudden TOS and price of $399, looks like they lost a more than they expected. I got an offer to go back with them for $119. I never knew just how slow and painful it was to use their site. Countless adds and just all...

If they promised this function with your original contract, they owe you some sort of recompense. If you just assumed it, you're out of luck. Claiming to have a fully function...
