My balance is growing by .20 every couple of minutes....can't trace where it's coming from, nothing shows under "image subs" or "credit subs".
Any thought?

Got an amount of 17$ been added to april PP stat? Is that Sub ? Don't know what is sold or what it is. Unclear

ShadySue · « **Reply #2 on:** May 27, 2014, 13:35 »

Could it be Getty360?

Julied83 · « **Reply #3 on:** May 27, 2014, 13:38 »

How could I know ?

I found one new sale for April 30 added to the partner program for $5.19 - it wasn't there a day or two ago. I don't see anything in the royalty schedule that is for that amount

Look at your stats for April. I am seeing some olive green, which is for partner program according to the stats key. I am not opted into the partner program though as far as I know so I am assuming this is payment for last month's subs? If that is the case though then I have no payment yet for this month's subs. I was expecting the payment though for subs this month to bring us up to date on subs payouts from when subs started and up until the middle of this month. To be honest though it is very confusing since the olive green bars only land on a couple different days of the month for me. One would expect to get small subs earnings throughout the month on more than just a couple of days. So maybe none of the above is correct except for the fact the olive green is appearing in the stats for April.

I just had one pop up for 46.17 on the 22nd under PP. Doing the happy dance, that is astronomical for my humble little port

However, I am curious where it came from. Is it IS subs or Getty? I do not know....

ShadySue · « **Reply #7 on:** May 27, 2014, 14:05 »

If you are not in the PP and have an olive cap on a bar, that's Getty360 (until iS subs, which 'according to Lobo' will come in as PP¹).
There are hugely varying amounts to be gained from Getty360. I've only had one, $50, the very first month they were out. I did identify the file, so that I could contact CR, but I can't remember how.
There has been no notification that iS subs have started, and I don't remember seeing any indication of any higher than stated payments on iS subs.

¹ But 'they' didn't bother telling Lobo that 'they' had decided to put G360 as olive with the PP. He had previously indicated otherwise.

So I guess we are still waiting for subs payment for the last 2 or so months since they started selling subs and a payment for the balance of the earnings for the 100% royalty day this month for those that are exclusive.

I am non-exclusive, so I am in the PP. As far as I can tell the PP payouts ended a few days ago. It showed I have 8 DL's for April 22nd in the PP. Today is when the 46.17 showed up under the green bar earnings for April 22nd. However, the number of downloads did not increase only the earnings. It is a mystery to me. I just hope it is not an error!

BigBubba · « **Reply #10 on:** May 27, 2014, 14:25 »

Keeps growing, started with .20 and now a few dollars each bounce, same here, number of downloads did not change...no olive green bar, just plain pp green bar. Strange.

Goofy · « **Reply #11 on:** May 27, 2014, 14:42 »

made over $50 today on subs! thus a BME for me

spike · « **Reply #12 on:** May 27, 2014, 14:52 »

It looks like this to me:

So all subs are credited on April 30th? Ugh?

Maximilian · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2014, 14:54 »

i see green, orange and regular blue sales. see attached image.
olive green? lol i dont understand this.

spike · « **Reply #14 on:** May 27, 2014, 14:58 »

I just checked the .csv file... still 0 for subscription royalties and downloads (columns D and E), this huge boost is just added to partner program royalties (column L). So I have no idea if these are the subs.. they certainly aren't regarded as such in the csv file.

had a late pp and a getty today

ShadySue · « **Reply #16 on:** May 27, 2014, 15:38 »

Oh, no Getty for me in April.

Mind you, I'd rather have none than the silly little cents value ones. I like the bigger ones, though.

Funny, your graph matches your name - Spike!

Julied83 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 27, 2014, 15:49 »

another 28 cent mystery sale !

Fairplay · « **Reply #19 on:** May 27, 2014, 15:54 »

I see 16 Image subscription sales

Reckless · « **Reply #20 on:** May 27, 2014, 15:58 »

My subs are showing as a gray color in the bars

Anyka · « **Reply #21 on:** May 27, 2014, 15:59 »

Yes light gray, not olive green, and it's just a tiny amount, BELOW the olive green bars.

ShadySue · « **Reply #22 on:** May 27, 2014, 16:00 »

No green tops for me, but suddenly a 98c purple regular Getty sale.

Oh, and now ~~two~~ four (all on the 9th) Subs sales, which are showing as grey at the very bottom of columns (under the blue).

Poor old Lobo, they did it to him again: "I will update everyone as soon as we have the Image Subscription data queued up." (presumably they didn't update him)

It seems it has just started. The bar for subs is gray.

ShadySue · « **Reply #24 on:** May 27, 2014, 16:25 »

The reporting is inaccurate (are we surprised?)
My first four sub dls all show for 9th April, but the subs page shows four different dates:

So much for "We want to ensure everything is working as intended" (unless that was what they intended) http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=359606&messageid=7015108 (same link as above).

However, they have a team looking into the discrepancy: http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=359606&messageid=7015714
