Title: Are DT sales being updated?
Post by: BaldricksTrousers on September 13, 2013, 03:31
Not a single sale on the 11th or 12th here - two successive midweek days like that are unprecedented for me, so I'm wondering if there's an update problem (or maybe some search shift to kill older files)

I've got sales recorded for the 11th and 12th.

Had a sale couple of days back so unfortunately I dont think so but they seem to be very slow for a lot of people

Well, I've had a couple of sales on those dates but very few, completely atypical. I think I had a whopping two .35 cent sub sales.  Just checked this morning  (it's 4:00am here in California) and no sales over night either, another atypical behavior for DT (for me anyway).

I did notice last week that some sales were credited for the previous day, rather than in approximately real time, so I think they must be having problems with the data handling. It's a bit worrying.

Ooops - forget it, I'm just misreading the US date formula, thinking the first number is for the day

I had two sales on 11th and 12th. But one thing I mentioned that's some times. I see a sale but the keywords are not even closer to what it should be. I meant really something completely different. And it looks like that new uploads makes no changes to the monthly income (maybe only 10$ difference which is nothing). I like DT to be honest but not money-wise. The monthly income is not growing respectively new uploads at all. And now more and more 0.35 cents downloads I see on my stats.

I have sales both those days, but on Monday (9th) I had none, which was very surprising. I think as their volume of sales declines (at least for me) the odd rotation system they appear to have - some days all subs, some all credits - must result in some days where your allocation of whatever type you're getting that day falls to zero.

There was a day (last week?) where they had a note on the front page saying they were having problems updating sales stats

You expect DT sales every day ! A couple a month for me if lucky. In fact, my balance is hanging annoyingly at $99.46 so I won't be able to draw the money off for another month if I get no sales for the rest of September. DT are dire for me and I am adding more images all the time.

Herg, they don't work on a monthly payment system. You can request payment as soon as you hit the magic $100 (and then usually get it within a few days, in my experience). Good luck, I'm sure you'll hit payout very soon! Regards, David.

The problem there was the $ balance was increasing but details of what actually sold was delayed.

Now it's working the other way round. I have downloads showing in the downloads list, but the total balance isn't updating.
