Title: ESP - Downloading the pdf Statement
Post by: chrisdorney on February 24, 2017, 09:25
The pdf statement is very detailed which is of course very good news - however, I have added up the number of images sold in December and this figure does not match the figure that was displayed on the old istock website?

Also, I have downloaded (from the Export tab in ESP) the iStock historical royalties txt document and none of the figures match up to what the old istock graphs said. Anybody else notice this?

Nothing seems to match up.
My monthly statement from Feb 2015 has not one month matching what the iStock site said, over the two years.

Probably when I send my ticket, they'll say "This is correct ..." with some pro-forma explanation about how it's worked out two different ways. Even if that was true, it's surely smoke and mirrors.

It's disgusting.  This needs to be looked into - all smokes and mirrors and not a lot of transparency.
