I used to get close to 200 DLs some days. Now I can't even break 100. Sales are cut in half lately for me.

Yes! more contributors = more images - more competition and unfortunately and probably less sales for individuals.

I suppose the best we can do is strive for quality and hope that a good pic will continue to sell.

Same for me (well expect the numbers are smaller ). For me the problem is that I didn't upload for a while, just sent a few new files this week.

I noticed that I get very few sales in the morning and early afternoon (looks like whole Europe is on vacations). It gets better later in the day.

This is getting ridiculous.

I uploaded a batch on Friday, which wasn't reviewed until late Monday, and here it is late Wednesday and some images STILL aren't showing up in searches.  Meanwhile, other newer images are showing up just fine.  Some of the images not showing up will already be on page two when they do finally show in the search. 

I'm also beginning to wonder if the new smaller subscriptions are going to have a negative impact on overall sales as buyers wait to purchase images.
