Title: Have They Got it Wrong Again?
Post by: Phillip Minnis on March 21, 2014, 13:51
My iStock account just increased by $71.58.

After spending some time trying to work out how I achieved such a large jump since I last checked my balance five hours ago, I discovered that this amount was achieved by one sale that occurred on the 14th of February via the PP.  I found the image, and it only has only ever achieved a total of 12 PP sales and 2 iStock downloads.  It is showing that from these few sales, it has earned a total of $75.37.  I did not have any iStock downloads sales today....only this PP sale, which, as I stated before, dates back to the 14th of February.  When I viewed my PP sales for the month of February, it is showing a very tall green bar, towering way above the sales achieved on all the other days in the month.

Is a sale of this size possible through the PP, or does it sound like there's a problem in their system, again?

It is probably a Getty360 sale, which for no known reason shows green on your charts, like PP, rather than purple like Getty.  ::)
I've had one (only) of these, netting me $50.

Added by dint of the virtue of conciseness, Tickstock beat me to it.  ;D

Be careful! Fiddling with the colours might let the nurglemonster out of the internetty cupboard.

This morning, I also found more $$ in my acount. I checked th bars and also found more PP earnings in december and january. The october bar still shows that extreme amount, but they send me a message that it was too high and money was taken from my account. They forgot to adjust the bars??
It is hard to follow your real earnings here with that crazy accounting system of theirs, I have no clue how much I exactly made the last months!
