Is it only me, or did sales suddenly decrease after October 14?
In October 15-21 I had 25% of sales compared to earlier week, and 17% of sales compared to random September week. That's an unprecedented drop.

same here, started very good then stopped almost completely.

It's the same in my account!

Same here...
I hope they are just not reported correctly

Wow and I got a negative sale here 

I thought it was just me.

same here

same here - 6 days in a row NO sales at all - yesterday 1 mini-sale ...

Same here, many days in a row with no sales, I have always sold everyday on this site, they seem to be going down hill fast.

Last month they over paid me, but I am not complaining as they have consistently cut the commission rates as well as bringing in there own logo designs and then deleting mine a few years ago.

Personally the site is run by a bunch of idiots.

I wrote them to ask.
Maybe if we are more to ask we will get an answer...

Yes, no sales. I also had two entire batches rejected for "Poor composition". Never ever happened before. So either they've changed something or my skills have gone downhill.

I suspect we will see this site close by the end of the year.

I have "about average" sales this month (which is something around 10 sales per month).

But the last sales has been on 14th Oct, so 11 days ago.

It has been quiet for me in the past week or so. The high bar is $10 so not a big earner...

Same here and a refund for a higher amount than the original sale.

The fact that they had to remove the footage side of their collection and the dwindling sales makes me think they won't last much longer. They've become a low-earner long ago and have shown no signs of improvement.

The site is run by people who only see profit, they simply don't understand the concept that you pay a fair commission and sales will follow.

I had quit a few vector logo's that sold really well, then one day without any notice they deleted them all, when I looked up logo's on the site, they had pages and pages of them all very badly designed, you couldn't even call them second rate they were that bad. They all had the same fingerprints all over them, in fact, they were childlike in their design.

What they had done is commission some third rate factory somewhere to mass produce thousands of logo's that were utter rubbish and then sell them for the site owners.

The other point here is, they couldn't even see that these logo's were utter rubbish, otherwise they would never have put them on the site.

This obviously didn't work for them as about two years later they let contributors upload logo's again, of course, by then they had lost this market entirely.

This kind of greed driven thinking is why they have cut and cut the commission rates over recent years along with being the only site that has refunds.

Just counting the money is not enough, you have to have a visual eye to run a stock site.

The demise of this site is near.

Shutterstock, Dreamstime and Alamy have refunds too.

Well that's the way it works with 99.9% of companies...
What did you expect in a world ruled by money and profit?

This is a dumb comment, it doesn't work that 99.9% of companies only see profit, first and foremost the people running a company see a opportunity to market something that they think will be useful to people.

Profit is a consideration, but it is not the only criteria, apart from the fact that you have taken my quote out of context, which is pretty thick.

The World is not ruled by money and profit, it is ruled by the conscious of the majority, and on most occasions this overrides money.

You sound like the C2 Demographic.

What naivety!

The world is governed by the 1% who own 99% of the world's wealth.
Not really the majority...

And that 1% don't give a dаmn about the rest of us (the remaining 99%).

using your own words..  "what a DUMB comment " (also ignorant). against Piketty & Stiglitz, what do you to back up your comment? or watch "The Laundramat" about money L'ing in Panama

Yes massive devastating 50% drop. I was expecting $2 this month but it looks like I'm now on track for $1.

Today I found sales at 123rf for 18th Oct, 19th, Oct and 24.Oct which haven't been in the list yesterday.
I assume they had some problems with their statistics.
