I've read a lot recently about people getting their accounts suspended for 'irregular sales activity', so it's actually made me worry that a great sales day could end badly.

I've had a large series of images downloaded and, although this has happened before on other sites, it's the first time it's happened to this extent on Adobe.

I'm assuming the sales are legitimate, and I'm not looking to suddenly cash out the earnings, but should I be reporting this to someone just in case? Maybe @MatHayward could advise if there is anything I need to do?

Wasn't there actually a case here recently where a contributor noticed suspicious activitis, reported it to Adobe and then got his account banned? Considering this, reporting the issue to Adobe seems like a risk.

Thanks for your input, and you may well be right.

I've read some real horror stories on here over the last several months but, as we only have a somewhat one-sided account of events, I've no idea of whether any action taken by Adobe has been heavy handed or not. I certainly can't afford to lose my account, or even risk it being suspended pending an investigation, which is why I thought reporting and preempting a problem might be advisable.

From what you say, it seems that I am potentially at risk either way. I guess I will wait and see what happens next, and hope that the purchases are from a legitimate customer.

yesterday was a strong day for me too,you have nothing to worry about.

a few months ago I also had a spectacular day where I sold practically every kind of content in a few hours,I think these are normal fluctuations in Adobe's sales system,occasionally even for a few hours or just a day,your portfolio can be highlighted,and you start selling a lot more than usual.

when it happened to me I sold 30 times more in one day than usual,but I didn't worry in the slightest,because I know I didn't do anything wrong.

I'm glad it happened to you,because in my opinion it means it will happen to me too again! :D

Thank you, you've helped put my mind at rest a bit. My download numbers were about 15 times my daily average, which was wonderful and alarming in equal measures!
