That is one of the new package sales I think. Just another nail in iStock's coffin, or is that another self-inflicted shot into the foot?

I suppose they would post them tomorrow or during the week end. The Vetta script ran yesterday (good month) and the stockexpert one too, so the PP is the only left.

Has anyone seen any documentation on HOW funds (sales figures) are transferred into our iS accounts?

I'm seeing piece meal, intermittent updates at appx 28 cents per transaction.  Is that the norm?

Yes, it seems to be for me too.  They seem so start at the beginning of the month and then gradually update the totals over the next few days.  Mine is up to the 13th now, most for 28c subs but had one for $1.93.  Not sure why it is done in arrears or why it takes several days to update for the whole month - maybe they need faster computers.

Mine stopped at the 22th today. Is IS having a break, or is the answer that my sales stopped that date? I hope the first is true, because I'm one sale short of payout.

I'm up to the 23rd as well.  Hold on - I'm sure you'll get your sale.  I imagine the rest will show up during the next couple of days.

just a suggestion: if it really takes all this time to transfer data from one database to another, why don't they just transfer sales every day as they happen instead of next month?
(I'm not going to suggest officially, as I am sure they won't listen)

The longer they can delay paying contributors, the more money they make (buyers pay up front; we get paid in arrears).
