Hi there,

Sorry to hear you had a disappointing experience. We get how frustrating it is to spend time and money on something that doesn’t meet your expectations.

Just to clarify though – Stuvia is a platform for sharing study aids like summaries, practice questions, and lecture notes. These are not meant to contain real exam questions. In fact, that would be considered exam fraud, and we strictly prohibit it. Sellers who claim otherwise violate our terms, and we remove that content when reported.

If the document was misleading or didn’t deliver what was promised, we’d really appreciate it if you could flag it to us. That way, we can review it and take action – and of course, support you with a solution.
In this case, we’d be more than happy to compensate you – just send us an email at melle@stuvia.com and we’ll sort it out.

Thanks for speaking up. Feedback like this helps keep the platform honest.

Stuvia sells AI generated summaries as if they are written by humans. I bought a summary and it was clearly made by an older AI model that missed the point on many chapters.

Hi Geert Jan,

Thanks for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the summary you purchased didn’t meet your expectations. All documents on Stuvia are uploaded by students, but we’re aware that identifying AI-generated content is becoming increasingly complex. We’re actively working on tighter quality controls to prevent this.

Regarding the money-back guarantee: it indeed no longer applies after download, as the content has effectively been accessed. That said, feel free to reach out to us at support@stuvia.com — we’ll gladly take a closer look at your case.

Unfair Suspension and Poor Customer Support

I was a Gold Seller on Stuvia for 3 years, consistently sharing high-quality, original notes based on my BTEC Business Level 3 background. A few days ago, I uploaded a sample answer and notes to help students—just like many others do. I spent an entire day creating the content myself.

Without any warning, my document was removed and my account was suspended. When I contacted support, they took ages to respond and claimed the content wasn’t mine and violated Pearson’s rules. That’s completely false—I wrote everything myself and had no access to any Pearson materials.

To make things worse, I couldn’t even withdraw my earnings. The whole experience has been frustrating and deeply unfair. Stuvia handled this very poorly.

Could you send an email to Melle@stuvia.com?
We’ll make sure your case gets re-investigated properly.
Even if the original decision was made based on certain policies, we want to double-check everything with fresh eyes.

Thanks for giving us the chance to look at it again. 🙏

Games with Acceptance

My documents are authentic and original. They pick and choose randomly what they delete and then threaten to take down my account when nothing is wrong. I'm a university student and work as a professional tutor. It makes no sense. There's so much time put into uploading the documents just for them to play games with what they expect when all my documents have relation to one another in professional format and content.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your experience—really sorry to hear it’s been this frustrating. We absolutely understand how much time and effort goes into creating and uploading high-quality material, especially as a student and professional tutor.

Our review system is designed to ensure all uploads meet legal and content guidelines, but we get that it can feel inconsistent at times. The intention is never to “pick and choose,” but to keep the platform safe and fair for everyone. If any removals felt unclear or unjustified, we’d really like to take a closer look.

Please reach out to us directly via support@stuvia.com with specific examples, so we can recheck everything together. Your work matters, and we want to make sure it’s handled with the respect it deserves.

Years experience

I have been using stuvia since 3 years and it always have been organised very well! It’s very clear what to post and you get paid very fast. The only con is the minimum amount to have in your wallet to have it deposited on your bank account. Which is 10€ but besides that awesome!

Hi there,

Thank you for sticking with us for three years—love to hear you’ve had such a smooth experience! 💛 It’s great to know the platform feels clear and organised to you, and we’re happy the payouts have been fast and easy.

Totally get your point about the €10 minimum payout limit. That threshold is in place to keep transaction costs efficient, but it’s definitely something we keep evaluating based on user feedback like yours.

Thanks again for the support, and keep those uploads coming!

Stuvia is Great for Selling Study Docs—But Lower Commissions Would Make It Even Better

Stuvia is an amazing platform I recommend to anyone who wants to earn money from nothing by selling online study documents
In fact it is powerful I myself made £550 last month and £475 in February.

Even Better If:
Reputation-Based Commission Tiers:
Bronze (New Sellers): 45% commission
Silver (Established Sellers): 35-40%
Gold (Top Sellers): 25-30%
This would encourage sellers to upload more high-demand documents and maintain good ratings.
Volume Discounts:
Reduced commissions after hitting certain sales milestones (e.g., 10% discount after £1000 in sales).
Better Marketing & Exposure for Sellers:
Instead of just taking a bigger cut, Stuvia could invest in SEO, partnerships with universities, or targeted ads to drive more buyers.
Seller Promotional Tools:
Allow sellers to run limited-time discounts or bundle deals to boost sales.
Featured seller spots for top performers.
Lower Fees for Referrals:
If a seller brings in new buyers (via referral links), their commission could decrease slightly.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your thoughtful and detailed review—and massive congrats on those earnings! Hitting £550 in a month is no small feat. 🙌

We love hearing ideas from sellers who are crushing it, and you've made some solid points here. A tiered commission model based on reputation and sales milestones? That’s definitely a motivating structure. And yes, better exposure tools and more marketing from our side could help you go even further.

We’re always balancing between keeping Stuvia sustainable and making it as rewarding as possible for our top contributors. Your suggestions—like seller promos, volume discounts, and referral perks—are 100% the kind of ideas we keep in mind when iterating on the platform.

I can’t promise changes overnight, but I’ve passed this along to the right team. In the meantime, if you ever have ideas you want to explore more deeply, feel free to reach out to us directly—we genuinely value your input.

Keep doing your thing,
Melle

Very user friendly website. Trustworthy payments. The only downside is that you can only request the payment once a week, and from a certain amount. Other than that: great website.

Hey,

I totally get that it’s frustrating when you’ve put in the effort to upload your notes but aren’t seeing any sales. A few things that might help boost your visibility and sales:

SEO Optimization: Make sure your title and description include relevant keywords so students can easily find your notes.

Preview Pages: Enable preview pages so potential buyers can get a sneak peek before purchasing.

Promote Your Notes: Share your notes in study groups, on social media, or even with classmates who might be interested.

Check Your Pricing: Sometimes making small adjustments to pricing can make a big difference—either lowering or slightly increasing depending on the competition.

More Content: The more high-quality notes you upload, the more chances you have of making sales.
If you’d like, I can take a look at your profile and give some specific tips! Let me know. 😊

Best,
Melle
