After months of not selling anything on P5, I get a sale consisting of four clips. As the subject matter and sale price of the said clips was the same, I presumed it was a single buyer. Then, about two days later, the exact same four clips sold again in a single transaction, for about a dollar less than the previous time.

I know it's not unusual for a single clip to sell multiple times over a short period, but this has never happened on exactly the same 4 clips to sell twice in a short period. I'm just wondering if you have experienced anything similar?

I also got notified of a small video sale today for around $17.00

Pond 5 sales seem to have picked up. I sold a few similar clips.

Yes, I've seen this myself and heard the same from clients. After months of nothing on Pond5, suddenly the same group of clips sells twice within days, almost the same price. It usually feels like either the same buyer coming back for another project, or some kind of bulk/corporate purchase processed separately. Not common, but it does happen, especially after long dry spells.

Are others seeing this or it's just me?

I'm wondering if it could be more AI dataset training or a genuine buyer.

Same here. Sounds like dataset training.
