Title: Strange, no sales in 5 days???
Post by: enstoker on October 25, 2015, 03:43
Last 5 days NO SALES.
And usually I have every day some sales on 123 (except Sat, Sunday).
Anybody else ?

They are really slow this month.  Actually they have been dropping ever since they put in their RC system - 2012 was the peak and it's been downhill since then.  I assume the increase at FT is due at least in part to poaching customers from other agencies like 123 so this is probably the new normal.

I know that they are having system problems. I have been in touch with them twice and still waiting for their I.T. people to get back to me. Nothing seems to work, especially their upload system. Also, I am seeing sales show up days later....all of a sudden I see a large jump after days of no sales. There is some kind of reporting delay. That's been going on for a few months.

It's like their system is falling apart and they are not putting a lot of effort into fixing it or maintaining it but I am not an I.T. guru so I could be wrong.

This will be my lowest month there in the last 4, but rarely go a day without a sale.

Same here. Plus Video uploads waiting 6 weeks now, images almost 3 for reviews. From the outside looking in is feels like internal turmoil/challenges.

Same for me for sales and reviews.

October was okay, but no sales so far in November

October sales fell by 35% compared to September. November is off to a good start so far and could end up being a record month for me.

Sales are steady for me in 123RF, but not great.

Yes, me too...only 1 so far this month....very odd.

This month has started slowly on 123 - but the downloads do see to either come in batches or be reported in batches.

The month started out well, but now it's back in a rut. It's now on track for another slight decline compare to October.

It's not unexpected. For someone to succeed, another must fail. Fotolia is having more success lately, which means someone else, like 123RF is suffering.

I'm really close to jumping up a level and downloads have come to an almost complete stop - coincidence?

Between 12 and 20 of each month, something happens. Nothing moves. The October gave me 17 downloads. But nothing between 12 and 20. The September story is also almost same. Now November, nothing moved after nov 11 and 19. I got sales before and now on 19th. For November it is 7 for me now. I need just few more sales to payout.

I see some changes appearing the way site works. Like preview of images which is popup now. I think they are improving the site. But nothing logical can explain the mid month 10 days blank pieces.

It does seem to go quiet with occasional flurries lately I suspect their flaky reporting

I've nothing since the 12th (this is by far the longest stretch on 123 with no dl's). Sent an email asking if there are any reporting issues last Friday - still waiting for a reply...

Every 5 or 6 days I have few or just one sale. Strange!  A month ago everything was ok.

Me too - something weird going on. Sales in November were a third of October. December even lower - am still 5 points below the next payment level threshold.

My October, November and December video sales are down in comparison to the rest of the year.

Great start with 123rf this month and now suddenly no sales since December 5.
Strange how the tap can turn off so suddenly. My other agencies (6 total) are either
average or above average for the first 10 days in December.

SS..............Above average
Istock.........Above average
Deposit.................Average
Dreamstime.........average
Pond5...................average

There is definitely something up with sales reporting.

I have no subs at all since 26th November (compared to a decent amount of credit sales). Very weird.

Same here; I never hit the 4th sales page before.
