I get one sale, every 7-15 days. I predict you'll get your cent within 10 days.

I was hoping your prediction would turn out to be right but no, still waiting 

I'm not going to say that WS is wonderful or I like the current sales. They aren't what I signed up for, when I started. Sales are down and some are lowball. My last DL was Oct 7th. There's nothing to brag about with them. I just doubt that they would hold back over $30 or a cent.  Yeah Baby, you can get one of those 2¢ China downloads and celebrate.

WS doesn't sell much, they are just the distribution service to other agencies. The lack of sales is on all the other Microstock agencies that have your images. Slow sales or no sales on WS are a result of the whole business going down the shitter.

Let me guess! AI for image and video creation?

My last sale was on September 12th. I haven't had any more sales there. I have 1930 files there, since I don't pay a monthly fee and can't expand my portfolio. It's strange, because I always sold something.

That's where I am also. I still get DT downloads, which is strange, because the only images I put on WS, for DT, were the DT rejects. Hardly many, just some that didn't meet their legal standards. The only SSTK were rejects. Which means, most of my WS images are on sites that I have no account and that's the way I wanted it.

ps No AI, I don't do that. I tried some, way back when DALL-E came out and was free. I have fun, I make jokes, or humor, but I don't upload AI images to stock. My avatar of the Green and Gold (Green Bay Packers) cow, with cheese, toasting with a mug of beer, is AI.

I can't see paying WS for the right to upload 200 files a month.

I have entered the free contests, but nothing from that. "Media currently under review. Our review team will take a look at it before accepting for sale. However, you can sell it from your own portfolio with a personal use license." And with that, the contest upload from a couple of months ago:

"Approved for Portfolio sale only
    Limited Commercial Value: Low likelihood of generating sales based on our downloads and profitability data."

Time to figure out how to remove images from WS.

Something is wrong. Since October, I only get Depositphotos sales. Before, I was getting everyday sales from Freepik, Shutterstock, Envato, and co. breakdown 90%

The distribution sales from agencies decreased drastically last months, indeed. On the other hand, I have marketplace sales (whatever they mean or are) and quite some dataset earnings.

So I can confirm that Wirestock is (maybe) not a scam after all. Got my final cent yesterday and now planning to throw a party with the 30$ payout

Yahoo!  That sure took a long time.

WS for me, has dropped to nearly nothing, but remember, they are not the agency, they are only a distributor to the other agencies. (yes they have some sort of Marketplace that sells nothing for me) And in my case, I didn't include IS, SSTK or Adobe, as distribution, except my rejects, so my 551 images, are not that special to start with. There's also some humor in that. My best sellers on WS are the rejects that IS wouldn't take, that WS pushed through, and they are selling on IS.Getty / iStock is my biggest selling agency on WS.  And I make more from DT, on WS, than I do with my own collection on DT.

still zero sales anymore since over two months from agency like Envato (before every day more than 20 sales) or data bonus like shutter stock. anyone else with the same problem?
