I usually make around $50–80 a month on Depositphotos, but this month I was surprised by a custom sale of $190. The photo wasn't even specified, so I'm curious what it might be. Has anyone else had a similar type of sale?

I just had one, too that earned me $397.  Crazy.

I don't even know what sold.

Had a $60 sale and I thought im seeing wrong cos DP been dead for me.

I'm not a contributor in DP but looking at this situation I'd say it's probably for AI training.

Hello guys,i had one too.
It's been covered in a previous post.

Made payout.

It's strange, but I haven't received it yet, although it was on August 1st last year.

So that makes me even more sad about my .20 Custom Sale on the 26th.

here's the relevant quote from the other thread:

Is anybody any the wiser on this ?
I contacted their chat line and asked them to tell me what my 2nd August "Custom Sale" stood for and got the following reply :

Custom sale is something new that aim to increase sales. The amount you see is the total amount for selling the files at individual prices. We do not display the price per file, but per all files that were purchased from you by one buyer at an individual price.

I don't really understand this. I got $4.10 and for all I know they could have sold my entire portfolio for this !!!
