Got a mail from AS today saying they miscalculated my royalties (no further explanation of which files or days). Yesterday I had balance of $96, today it's $-12 (yes, negative).
Anyone else?

Got a mail from Adobe:

Dear #firstname #lastname,
We regret to inform you that a subset of the royalties paid out on Feb 12 were calculated incorrectly. We have now removed the incorrect amount from your account, which could result in a negative balance if you already submitted a payout request. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you have any questions, you can contact us here newbielink:https://contributor.stock.adobe.com/contact [nonactive]

Regards,
Adobe Stock team

But they took me more than I earned that day, and without any closer explanation. Problem is that in statistics still exist full mount that I earned, and there is no any information which image was refunded (or whatever they do with my money). I can't see any explanation to clear my whole earning for a day (at least in respectable company like Adobe claim it is).

over 400 credits Negative adjustment (convertible credits)  :o :-X where is the protection? and why most I pay for it?

and I only can see it on fotolia (dashboard/credit)  where can I find it on adobe stock??? why is it so hard to program a normal good contributor portal  :-\

same here, but I hope it has nothing to do with my large sale from last week. The e-mail said febr 12. Yes indeed I got a payout on febr 13th. After that I requested a new payment including the large sale. But that one is still in treatment.
Now my balance shows a -, but I cannot see how much negative.

We'll see soon, but it looks like this is urgent balance protection blocking in bulk.

This is an accounting nightmare.

I am also affected, BUT I cannot see the deductions in my Adobe Stock backend. Only on the Fotolia backend, but even there I cannot see the images affected.
I need to share revenues with my team, so this is terrible.

Yep, they are taking back all those large sales.
All that remains are the under 1 sales, almost all the time.
I was doing great on Fotolia, the "upgrade" to Adobe Stock is a total downgrade for me, and not just the performance, the website is utterly unprofessional too.
But if they go on like this, I'm going to be really angry at them. There is not even transparency in the sense that I can have correct stats. They took back a lot of money but the stats still show the higher royalties that they don't pay. Come on. Be more professional.

I got the same email today, a day after the money were available at my PayPal account (still are).
I also see the deduction in Fotolia only, not Adobe.
When i click on Invoice for details, I get the message
"Sorry, the page cannot be displayed for the moment"
but the file in dispute is now updated in Fotolia with a lower sale price.

Could this be a mistake, or we just hope it is?

Goodbye big sales about 200 credits removed from my account.
It was too good to be true.
I hate when such s*its happen!

I don't even see a balance anymore. I hope they get things back in order before the end of the day.

I don't mind them taking back some money if it's fraud related, but they need to be more transparent about it and let us know which sales are affected.

Is ok you are telling me there's some accounting problem and deduct some of the wrong earnings. But at least tell me how much was deducted, and which files.

I only had a small correction but it would have been nice to know the exact amount and which files in the email. Also, plain text with a link instantly screams Phising email to me. It didn't look official and I was ready to write it off.

possibly phishing. I hope so. Looks like the mails are send  en masse. Not personally addressed, but a simple "Dear #firstname #lastname,".
Maybe Adobe got hacked.  Last week also got some phishing mails from EyeEm and 500px.

Same, altough it was only -5.5 Credits for me.  :-\ (You can check the amount on Fotolia, at "My Credits".)
The "Dear #firstname #lastname" parts sound very strange nonetheless.

No phishing. The account balance is real and indeed, 500px got hacked and asked all users to change their passwords. Read the news.

Well to be objective the images i sold for 99 were too basic and i was surprised, in my opinion is everything for real, they had fake sales and got money back. The problem
Is that this adds to a falling level of earnings.  Zero sales since the adobe take the controls of all operations.
