Finally, I can see some sales figures on the ESP site (under Royalties.) Though it only provides information for 1 January 2017 (not sure if that includes payment information for the previous month or not.) Is there any way that I can check sales for earlier months too? The last time I was able to see my sales was months ago and I had accumulated $20. The current 1 January 2017 statement only displays a total of $10.50 so I'd like to see all those missing dollars.

The old iS stats are still working but are only showing credit dls since Dec 22nd, and presumably no PP from Dec.
However, if you saw stats before they'll still be there.

All sales information on the IS stock site disappeared from view ages ago. I'll check to see if it's visible again.

It's visible for me right now, with the limitations as above.

Just logged into iStockphoto and there is no sales information for me at all.

Is that it?

Premium Access my A** , 3 files with that label are some of my cheapest examples.. 0.24 0.26 ?!  what am i missing ?? 

Why are you photographers wasting your time with Istock?  They are not user friendly.  Have you heard of a woman/man staying in an abusive relationship because she "/ "he"Loves" him/her and have no self worth? Think about it photographers

to be honest I'm making $$$$ from none of them just $ so giving up my lousy $60.00 is not happening .... at least at this point, and is the reason I'm getting into animation and, in the meantime ALL MY NEW STUFF ONLY GOES TO SITES THAT PAY FAIR.

i am interested in a response of anyone that could shed light on why "premium access" pays pathetic

So what month are these graphs/summary for? If i download the PDF file with all the sales info it shows dates scattered across December and January. Is it for both months? What a mess.

My report  shows the same might be because it's the first one with the new system .., just a thought

Edited to make sense [emoji12]

117 pages to go through in the pdf to try and decipher what is going on. What does the number in red in brackets refer to? I have a LOT of them.

I had some red also, I'm just assuming its refunds/duplicate payments that customers were refunded... just a guess

I think premium is the scheme Sue spoke about on another thread. Basically like a subscription service but we get much less than usual. I have loads of these downloads for a few cents each. There's no justification for it beyond "yeah we just want to pay you much less so what are you going to do about it?" As far as I can tell. They said something about it being for big buyers but that's what subs are for.

This new system is horrible. With the old system, at least we got tiny thums to show us what was selling, now we just get file numbers and title.

And the title can be one they made up rather than the original. I thought the "woman in thongs on beach" must be someone else's sale credited to me, but when I checked it wasn't a woman in a thong, it was a woman in sandals. Perhaps Americans call sandals thongs, I don't know, but to me thongs are skimpy pants (which is another problematical linguistic term for our US friends)

I thought it was only us Aussies that call them thongs... Makes you wonder what's going on there.

When do we get to see our Dec 2016 earnings from subs and PP? And where?

I must admit there is a lot of info to browse through. These stats are annoyingly late,  but I find more details about sales than on any other site.

The best way to not give information and is overwhelm you with information...

Not the case here. I am not an iStock fan at all. But I have to admit that if I tweak and filter the associated excel file, I get all information I need and more. I can make it look like a Shutterstock report, like a Fotolia report. etc.

I'm sure they are trying to provide real time stats, but it's very, very difficult to do. It's like cold fusion or a cure for cancer. Hopefully, Getty scientists will one day make a breakthrough...

Or maybe a third party will help them just like the need one to make sense of their stats or make uploading tolerable.....

They are not trying to provide real- time stats. We used to get real time stats on iS back in the day, but they have specifically told us we are getting once a month stats. However, they can't even do that with any degree of certitude. As ever, I have no idea what proportion of the mess is malice and how much is  incompetence.

I thought they said they would provide "real time" data on sales....(without value attached) at some point.

IS gives an example and shows the trend in this industry. Popcorn will cost a lot of money for contributors. Any volunteering for commercial businesses is a wrong way. Difficult to quit, but necessary.

We need to wait a month to see how bad this really is.
