Did anybody get a lot of ELs at BS yesterday? I got 7 over the course of the day. I hope it isn't some sort of fraud!!
-
Congrats!!!
I never had any EL on BS unfortunately.
P.S. But my sales are very good recently on BS
-
I don't remember ever having an EL on BS.
If it was fraud I would assume the fraudster's objective was to just get the images, therefore purchasing regular licenses rather than drawing attention to himself by buying ELs. I'd say u got lucky and someone needed several ELs on your images. Enjoy!
-
I should have said that it is probably more of a mistake than actual fraud. One image has been downloaded twice so that will definitely be a mistake. Would be nice if the others are real though as they are few and far between at BS.
It's similar subject matter so could be genuine. Will keep my fingers crossed :D

Hello Fotografer
I also had 2 EL (25,00$) yesterday for two images... Wait and see if it's no joke...
It's probably ok (I've sold an EL some months ago at BS and there was no problem)

Mine were all 25$ as well. Were yours of children?

No children, it was 2 illustrations : one of a rocket ship in space and the other a set of weather icons...

Well we will just have to wait and see.

just one EL on bigstock yesterday, probably a subject similar to your ;)

Yea I'm still waiting. I had two EL's of the same image within one minute of each other last month but haven't yet seen a refund. I just see it as inconceivable that two distinct people would download the same image within 60 seconds of each other.

I would be really annoyed if after I cash out they decide they want the 175$ back. !!
-
None for me either yesterday. On the rare occasions that I actually get EL's at BigStock they do quite often arrive in pairs.
-
I got one EL yesterday on BS for a traffic stop photo.
-
I had 3 EL's yesterday (and 1 earlier this month).
-
Well seems to have been rather a lot of ELs sold yesterday considering how rare they are there.
-
If someone is going to purchase stock images with a stolen credit card, why bother with the extended license?
Congrats on the sales!

I'm sure that you are right. It just seemed too good to be true. 7 in on day is good on SS let alone BS. Thanks.
-
I had two ELs as well.

I had one as well :)

Painful, I wonder why your images aren't selling there. Are you in the bridge programme? If not maybe the bridge images get priority in the searches. I see figures like that at places like cutcaster and stockfresh but BS is pretty good for me.
-
I got some too. A variety of different subjects. Made more there in one day than they normally produce in a week. Woo Hoo!
-
I wish I could confirm the OP's trend.
I have an abysmal month... 40% down across the board.
I feel like I got banned at most agencies. No idea what's happening.

no bridge for me and had less than 200 downloads in 2012, I believe BigStock only looks after old contributors (that said I am there for 4 years)

It was more like a month for me. The irony of that vs the subs sales wasn't lost on me either. ;D
-
Happy to hear about all the BS ELs but totally depressed that I have NEVER had a sale larger than $3. :'(
I've been with BS for nearly 5 years. I am not a "bridge" member but my port is very similar to (and bigger than) my SS port.
Congrats on the Sales. Push a few my way. :P
-
Ok well I just went to look at my stats. literally to see if there are any ELs. Still none, but had a buyer's referral of $59.15 on April 18. I just wish the people I refer would buy my photos sometimes :D
-
I had one EL at BS yesterday as well. Cant' remember ever selling an EL there before...
Fingers crossed!
-
The last time I remember this many ELs at once is when SS went after some company for not buying proper licenses.
-
Never had an EL. Like warren biggest sale was $2.40. More of those would be appreviated.
