Title: 9 sales from same image at once
Post by: Mactrunk on May 16, 2013, 02:33: Yesterday I had 9 sales of the same image. It sold for €0,27 each and I got 9 e-mails so it sold at the same time. I thought someone must have clicked to many times on the buy button. But today I had the same with another image. Exactly 9 sales all at once for €0,27 each. They do push the images up but this must be a mistake right? Has anyone had this before at Fotolia?

Post by: asmai on May 16, 2013, 09:11: I got that many times at FT, and only at FT, always sub sale, and for one time it's was like 20 sales of the same image. I am sure it's the same buyer. I dont think that is accidental, though, probably a cheap way to get an EL >:(

That could be it! haha. I think it's pretty smart of that buyer then. And I don't really care as long as it will get my images a higher rank. So now 2 of them are higher. i think most will not buy extended anyway since there is no real way to check it.

Post by: dirkr on May 16, 2013, 17:03: I think it's got nothing to do with an EL (remember: on FT the standard licence has no print run restriction!) but rather it is when a big corporation wants to use an image in a corporate design for multiple subsidiaries. Each of them needs a separate licence.

Post by: Phil on May 19, 2013, 16:55: some places (panther definitely, some yay partners I think, etc) have this for partner sales and show as the same image selling multiple times, maybe ft do the same?

Post by: Dan on May 21, 2013, 18:00: Only 1 sale on my mailbox. Maybe in the near future there'll be multiple sales.
