I just got a sub sale there,anyone else?

4 so far

Fotolia has subs? Since when?

I've had 34 so far over a couple of days.  Kind of worrying since they are all to the same buyer and all of the same models.

Hope this is just a company that really needs that particular type of model rather than someone planning to do something like the reselling of subscription images that has plagued Shutterstock lately...

So I notified Chad about this - not sure whose images are in this "collection" as I don't think you can see the individual images without downloading them (which I won't do).

18 so far about about 6% of this months sales.
I have sold over 70 images more this month than the first 12 days in May which was a BME so no complaints here.

Yeah, this is exactly the type of thing I was concerned about.  Boy, these thieves work fast! 

I couldn't see what images they are offering, but I don't think it is my series that was downloaded.  They were my older folks, not business images. 

those are phil date models aren't they?

edit: yep their his

Wow, that blogger also has other "collections" - plenty of seamless SS backgrounds, patterns and vectors ...

I've had 2 ... both large images of course   

WooHoo!!! I just had a subscription sale and  I am just so excited!!!  I don't know what I am going to do with all the money from this sale, but I will try not to spend it in one place.

I had two on the very first day, but nothing since...

Same here, got one the same day, and since nothing... but not many regular sales either 

Gee now I hear you guys complaining you don't have enough sub sales at FT.
first you were complaining that you might get them, now I hear you complaining the numbers are too low.

Whos complaining? I curse every time I sell one! LOL!

first sub sale for me today, from a customer that has previously bought from me paying "regular" prices. So much about Fotolia's fairytale of "only new customers buying subs"...

ditto...1 one today for less $$..ugh

Just had one, L size ofc. It's good that vectors and bigger sizes can't be purchased with subs. Would like to see that on other sites also.

My firs sub sale today - an L for .30. For comparison an earlier XS sale generated .33. I am not sure I like subscriptions...

i have 23 so far 

I've had 5 to date, but the interesting thing is that 4 of the 5 were older and had never sold before...perhaps that is a "positive"?

I've had 3 so far and two of them came in just today.but once the "season" starts I think will  see more of them.
