Author Topic: 9 sales from same image at once (Read 4285 times)

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?

I had something similar happen last year and never got commission yanked. It was strange, indeed.

I often get things like that happen at different agencies but unless it is a huge amount of money they don't usually either notice or go to the bother of claiming a few dollars back.

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

It happened to me (same image sold 9 times in a 10 second period) at FT. They never took the commission back.

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.

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.

I had that happen to me over a year ago with one image there. Nervous buyer, I guess.

thanks tab62 - maybe we will all get some days like that.

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?

Only 1 sale on my mailbox. Maybe in the near future there'll be multiple sales.
