Are you seeing any downloads on StockXpert today?

I'm wondering if a switch was thrown somewhere at StockXpert and buyers aren't seeing the site today?  This is the first day in many months that I woke up to ZERO downloads.  (My average lately has been 10 or 20 by 7 am EST.)   Now it's nearly 10 am and it's still showing 0.  I checked to make sure my pics are still in the site, and they are.

And the past few weeks, I thought StockXpert was on the rebound, approaching the BDEs and BWEs I was experiencing up until last November.  Strange that everything seemed to vanish overnight.

I have loads of sales today, people don't like your stuff any more.

Just kidding, no sales for me either, but that's not unusuale.

I think you've hit the nail on the head.  Looking into my daily breakdown, I see they're gone.  

JUI sub stales must have stopped Jan 31 or Feb 1... here's my last several days of stats...

Jan 28 = 29 JUI sub sales
Jan 29 = 20
Jan 30 = 16
Jan 31 = 0
Feb 1 = 0
Feb 2 = 0

Sales through January slightly down but fair. Today is my first no download day in quite a while.

Cool! I was hoping that I'd be able to collect whatever credits I had. This is unlike "some other places" where I'd like to close the account, but have to reach $100 or get nothing!  

Everything (OF MINE is opted in for partner program...) there is up for subs now, any 30 cent downloads, will get transferred to iStock.

I suppose I shouldn't just think of myself. Just wondering what it means to that small group who may not be IS members? Time to join the party?  
 

What is going to happen to all images after 2/11???

But will buyers go to IS?

racephoto, the credits I think they are talking about transferring are credits that buyers have already purchased. Contributors can request a payout or transfer their earnings to their IS account.

Here is what Seb said on the StockXpert forum:

As for your earnings you can either transfer then to your iStock account by logging back into your account and then follow the guidelines to do so.

If you don't want to transfer to iStock or do not have an account there, email customer support and ask for a complete payout. I suggest you only do so after Feb 10 in case you get more sales until then.

On the SX home page:
Click this link to iStockphoto and follow the instructions to transfer your credits.

On the IS news page:
 If you have StockXpert credits to transfer, login to your StockXpert account and follow the instructions on the front page.

exactly!!!!!   This is the run around in circles I was talking about on another StockXpert thread.  WTH...
.... as I said there,  I hope things clear up in a couple days.  =tom

Ah. Why am I not surprised.

Hi All

 StockXpert I believe is being absorbed by Istock and Thinkstock both. That could be why there are no sales there this week as they move the collection over, just a guestimate ( fancy word for guess ). That could be good for non exclusives at Istock because we probably already have all the same images at both locations just not as many at Istock due to the upload limitations for non exclusives. Now, if they moved all my work from StockXpert to Istock I would be pretty darn happy. I would immediatly get 2000 more images added to Istock, I don't think they will go that route as it is to early to tell, but it would be cool. The things I want in the stock business don't usually come true

Best,

Hi Donding,

Yes, I doubt it to. But it would be nice wouldn't it

Best,
