from Dec sales at PP they weren´t removed, actually entering this second..

regarding Nov sales from StockXpert again problems and more problems.. jeez, it is unacceptable

Frankly, I think it would be more than appropriate to collectively contact Joy Griffith (Senior Director, Client & Contributor Relations at iStockphoto; [email protected])...

Good idea.  My email has been sent.

Thanks Warren -- and mine as well. IMO, it's the only way to get things back to normal.

sent an email also, perhaps we can flood this person with emails..someone needs to take on this project...I really am starting to think we have been scammed and are never going to see our cash.

I also sent one on Friday, but haven't heard anything back yet.

Who knows if they site mail is in function too 

Stockxpert starts displaying some earnings

I see some change but, with three months of pending sales, it is almost impossible to tell what is being posted?
Surely there will be more?

I have no idea how to make sense of the sales that are coming in on Stockxpert. It seems they are updating real time now?  I am still missing sales from Nov.1-January31 (three full months) I am showing $2 in sales for what looks like sales for one day, today, better not be $2 for three months as I know I made a lot more than than.  I really wish there was some admin-type person from getty or istock or thinkstock or stockxpert (or whoever is running the show) who could post here and explain to us what is going on.  So frustraing!

I see todays-earnings also, but the pictures who should have sold looks more like pictures from last year....there're halloween and Christmas related pictures in the bunch.
...and nobody should try to tell me that this is the whole earning since November...but i expect this is what thinkstock think to tell us.

All sales are reported as one day, so those showing may well be last year's sales.

But I see about one third of expected earnings for november only. Plus, there should be december at least. January, it's too early probably. So I strongly hope more will show.

I have like 5x less what I expected once it was a repetition of 14.. so or they pay them or then there is a problem..

getting tired...

$2.50...I sure hope that's not it...did anyone get a reply from Joy?

Hello Luis,

Thank you very much for your email.

The sales posted on February 2 are the November sales. You had 20 files sold.

Please let us know if you require further assistance.

never got a reply from joy!  I know I had more than 8 sales in november we could see how many sales we had for a day when that repetition thing happened! This is not just outrageous anymore, it has now become criminal! They have simply just stolen our money.

RIGHT! stolen big time..

Hello Luis,

You did not have more sales. The number you were seeing were multiplied many times, in some instances up to 30 times the actual numbers. At this time 20 is the correct number of files sold in November.

Thank you.

I sold:
380 pictures in august
384 in september
386 in october
and allegedly just 132 in november (and I remember for sure that the actual number - NOT COUNTING REPETITIONS - was much higher and in line with previous months)

Unless more sales will show up later, we are definitely being screwed - and it never happened in such an evident way.

It must be said that in some months sales were reported in two days, so more may actually come. I am not accusing them (for now) but I will watch them closely.

I just sent an email to Joy.

accusing them? come on? 3 months to get the royalties.. they can do whatever they want.. and getting a lot less than previous months?? they aren´t honest thats for sure! IS screws us, then FT, then again IS.. nice job

Ditto!    I received $6.75 and had figured around $25 during the repetition period.  That's what I normally earn anyway.  Something is really wrong.

And I haven't heard a thing from Joy.

LISTEN UP, now more news lol.. jeez!

Hello Louis,

I just got an update and there are more to be processed - it should be able to see the additional earnings by noon tomorrow. Once this completes, we will process the December payments.

Thanks,

Darek

seems like us being attentive helps

I don't understand why they don't just script it to post sales live like all the other sites.
