Hi,
today I had loooots of these 5 cent Backup CD “sales” at SS. I “sold” so many Images today like in the whole past 3 months (I know, the BackUp CD thing is not really a sale).
Is this just me? Do you experience the same phenomena?
Or is it just a coincidence?
Thank
Gunnar

There was a thread in the SS forum about the lack of these lately. I did get a rush of them today, so perhaps buyers do read the SS forums? I better get pimping again :)
-
i had 3 of this sales today, been the only ones of the month.
guess they do these backups on certain days of the month????
-
I had a whole bunch of these today too.
-
2 today ,that is all till now for this month.
-
Bizarre - I've got 70 and counting.
Wonder what's up with that.
-
I got some today too, after not having any for a while

The same for everyone. They probably got stuck for the whole months and get recovered today
-
Very strange indeed.
No back sales for several weeks (even months)
Someone complains in the Forum
Rash of backup sales (at 0.05 cents per)
Will someone complain about 5 EL's days!!!!
-
I guess someone suddenly remembered they need to do their backup :) 4 so far for me today, while none this month.
-
I got 24 of these yesterday.... to bad that we are not talking about ELs ;D
-
Not a word from SS management but this appears to be a screw up on their side that they were not even aware of until people started chatting about it in their forum. Wonder what other contributor revenues have been falling through the cracks.
Interesting - if this happened at FT without a peep out of management there would be a revolution. With SS no one seems to think it is serious.
Go figger.

That´s because noone dare to say anything and risking getting thrown out. That´could easily happens with sales also. We´ll never know. I wanna belive I can trust such big agency though.

Oh, I'm not questioning their honesty but I am beginning to wonder about their competence. Maybe their database can't handle the load any longer.

Yeah, Quite a lot of numbers to keep in place. It´s amazing it´s not more glitches. (That we know of)
-
I had 20 back up sales in the entire month of Feb at SS
Then nothing in March until the 26th when I had 44 and another 10 on the 27th
-
Same here, had a rush of them in the past few days, strange hey
-
I didn't have any for months, and then suddenly... 5 in last 3 days
-
Never had one before, today my first one shows up! ;D
-
I also got a couple of 5 cent backups out of the blue. Of course, there's no way to know if ANY sales revenues are actually being reported. It's a weird business where there's no 'inventory' as such. It's not like I could upload 10 copies of an image and be notified when they'd all been sold, and it was time to upload some more.
-
Ok, so I am new to the site...what does the back up CD do for the buyers or what is it really?
-
It's a physical CD that is sent to the buyer with the images they licensed on it.
