I haven't given 123 much attention, been there 4 months with maybe 5 dozen photos. I seem to remember Tom mentioning trouble with balances.
Today, (actually had 2 sales - that's like getting 100 on SS!) I was updating my spreadsheet and it was of by a penny.
Okay, so I only have 4 months to add up. The monthly totals are accurate (as long as they have credited subscription and regular correctly) but the earnings total at the bottom doesn't add up by one cent.
If it isn't calculating my total right, maybe it isn't calculating yours correctly either. This is the payout total - so it would affect you. It's only a penny but add a couple zeros and it makes a difference.
Is there any way to see regular sales on 123, I can only find subscription sales. (Other than seeing numbers in myfaves).

I answered my own question - in the my images download page, top right corner you can switch between credits and subscriptions.
.... just in case anyone else is as slow as me at picking up on these things ;D

Yeah, took me a while to work that one out.

Does that mean that everyone else's payout tally is correct? That was what I was primarily asking before I went off track. Some of you must actually have good earnings there which could magnify a glitch. It seems kinda silly bringing up just a penny - but there must be a calculation glitch and it may have an actual impact those of you with good sales.

although my sales are pretty small, my figures are 1c out as well. I noticed it a few months ago, but as it's stayed the same amount all the time didn't give it much thought.
I initially thought it would be to do with the subscription sales as they seemed to change the amount around the same time I joined. However when I added up both rows I can see that the credit sales earnings column is 1c short of the sum of the individual totals.
A bit strange eh!
-
If you pay attention to the numbers in the credits sales, you will see earnings such as 0.385. If you take 0.38 (or 0.39) to your speadsheet and have two of those sales, you count 0.76 (or 0.78)when 123RF counts 0.77.
I believe that if you use all the digits presented, and not the two-digits-after-decimal-point only, numbers will match perfectly.
This happens also in FP.

Ah, Adelaide solves the mystery! I was worried that some of the big earners should make sure they aren't losing a small percentage somewhere ;)

well, i sure don't have that problem.... my monthly sales were easy to add up... didn't sell once in october on 123... of course I can't complain too much, i've only got like... 57 pix there or something like that...
I'm kind of reluctant to upload more.... doesn't seem that 123 is a really large earner for many people...
opinions.... should I load 'em up... or not bother...??? Your opinion is of value. 8)-tom

I make next to nothing on 123RF with a hundred and something images. However, they do allow you to download your files for free. So it's kind of like having another backup of your files. Same thing with Stockxpert. And then there is the possibility of you getting an affiliate, so I would upload to either Stockxpert or 123RF for those reasons.
