Title: "custom sale" on DP
Post by: amabu on August 06, 2024, 00:01
I received a "custom sale" for $8,57 on August 2nd. Without a file ID or thumbnail. Maybe some payment for AI training? Did anyone else get a custom sale?

On August 2nd as well? Or on a different date?

I suspect an 'AI dataset earning' here - I myself also had such a sale ($114.24) and many others have also reported it.

There is probably hardly anything to be gained from Deposit itself, the last encounters with support were not very productive :-)

Is anybody any the wiser on this ?
I contacted their chat line and asked them to tell me what my 2nd August "Custom Sale" stood for and got the following reply :

Custom sale is something new that aim to increase sales. The amount you see is the total amount for selling the files at individual prices. We do not display the price per file, but per all files that were purchased from you by one buyer at an individual price.

I don't really understand this. I got $4.10 and for all I know they could have sold my entire portfolio for this !!!

Anybody else able to provide enlightenment ?
