but should I be reporting this to someone just in case?

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.

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!

It is better to never write to Adobe support regarding any issues. I once wrote, there was some kind of primitive question. In response, some Russian lady contacted me, who began to scare me with a ban and accuse me of not forming my briefcase correctly and she didn�t like what I was uploading. She made some idiotic demands on me. In short, I don�t write in Adobe anymore.

2. This young woman introduced herself and wrote her first and last name and attached a photo.

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?

If your writing style and behavior is comparable to that in the "This should settle some different opinions" thread, Adobe's reaction is quite understandable. And of course it was a Russian Orc employee, what else 

Of course you can write to Adobe support.

Thanks, but for now I will wait and see over the weekend.

If nothing else, I have reported the issue here and tagged Mat in the thread. I'm sure Adobe will act quickly enough if the sales are suspicious and, although I'd obviously be disappointed, I'm not attempting to withdraw the earnings at this stage, so the money is still with Adobe if it needs to be checked further. I'm pretty sure anyone wanting to behave underhandedly would act to withdraw the earnings ASAP.

Hopefully it's a legitimate and established buyer.

what issue?why report?

Whatever the reason why you sold 15 times more than usual in one day,I don't think it's your concern.

perhaps a customer needed a lot of content that he downloaded from different portfolios,or perhaps your portfolio was highlighted,in any case,if there is a problem don't worry,Adobe will contact you,there is no need to report anything.

then for goodness sake,it's your call and it's your choice!

If you want to put your mind at ease, why not write to Mat?

Hundreds of files instead of perhaps 20 a day, is really unusual.

However, because of the way Adobe has been blocking ports, I can understand that producers are now scared to contact Adobe.

There really should be a more professional way in dealing with this problem.

Not sure what I would do, but if I usually had 20 sales a day and then suddenly 400 files get downloaded in 10 minutes, all for the same price, so probably the same client, I think I would want to know if I can safely payout the money.

Of course, please let us know what happens if you contact Mat directly.

I hope the sales are legit and you can enjoy your special downloads day.

Great to hear some are doing well. Adobe is where most my sales are made however this week was terrible. Only made 1.78 😢 oh well

a poor week means nothing, in March 2024 did you earn more than March 2023? in 2023 did you earn more than in 2022? then above all are you working?do you produce content every day or almost every day at least?microstock is no longer a passive income,it was years ago.

I'm happy to report that I've had a quick response from Mat, and confirmation that the sales were from a legitimate customer.

Very good to hear that and grats for the sales
