123 are about a 25% of what they normally do... bad month for them.

Added about 25% in the last 12 hours filling in past days. Maybe someone forgot to feed the squirrel at the wheel.

Yes massive devastating 50% drop. I was expecting $2 this month but it looks like I'm now on track for $1.

yep - with numbers as small as have been reported, it's expected there would be major swings up/down - my monthly sales charts for most agencies look like a picket fence - rolling avgs are much more predictive

I have used FTP software (Filezila) to upload  image to 123rf, but they don't get the image, someone else happens this?

Yes, they have some FTP bug going on.. It was fixed yesterday but again happening.

Well the percentage drop part was supposed to be sarcastic humor. The earnings are accurate though. I have several hundred images there that have sold well elsewhere and I'm lucky to get a couple dollars a month.

Just for info... heard back from 123 when I enquired about this. This was there response.

"Thank you for contacting us.

We have been having some issues relating to the sales not syncing with the contributor accounts on time. Our IT Team has already been working on this ever since and it would take some time before the sales are all synced to the account's Earning details page.

Having said that, could you provide us with your account username please so we can have your account checked as well.

Looking forward to your response."

yes, i knew it was sarcastic, but used it to comment on earlier reports based on small numbers.

after a slow month, my monthly sales doubled over the last few days, bringing it back to normal.   yet another example of why it's wrong to draw conclusions from small samples.

Looks like they are still working on that salessystem because sales of october are still coming in. Still nothing for the october 19th - 26th week. Anyone else with same "problem"?

I would give it another week... their system is terrible at the beginning of the month without any "Sales Reporting Problems". It seems like it's bouncing around a bit and the graph is showing zero?!? How they're still operating I have no idea!

The page with the graph show 0 sale at the beginning of the month, while the sales are regularly reported in the page
https://www.123rf.com/contributor/earnings.php.
I never understood why.

they should change their name to 123bug

is that worth to even log in or doing the tax work 

They said they corrected the error. For me it seems that after adjusting the October sales, November still has the error. Or is it just low sales? How was your November compared to previous months? It was 45-50% of September and October for me.

About 40% less than previous months.

Sales are down about 30% in November from previous months.
