Hello! Photos that were sold in march are already in the webpage but still no statement about the $$$.

Yeah, that happened last month too. Might be tomorrow, failing which Friday. But who knows?
Downloads poor, must have had a lot of 'plusses' (two increments per sale). Amazingly, not quite as poor as last March.

Numbers are bad, earnings probably even worse.

Did you sell a lot? For now it's just the number but it can give an idea. Also for me when it says istock credits it's usually not so bad compared to istock subs

Well, actually, I sold more last month than I have in any month in the last two years. However, in February, sales were miserable so it's probably just evening out a bit.

I am glad that many of my sales are of subject matter that is all new for me. Makes me want to keep broadening my portfolio.

Could someone please post the link to access ESP? I have just changed PC and it didn't copy that over from my favourites for some reason. Many thanks

Wheel of fortune still spinning after 36 hours ;-). Wonder if it will stop over Easter

The wheel of fortune didn't start. It was just taking a very long time to upload yesterday - there was no message to say that stats were updating.
This morning, the page is loading quickly, but the March stats still aren't there.
Maybe today, or maybe ... ?

I foolishly assumed because it was going round something was happening...should have known better of course. Expecting a bad month unless I got lucky with some premium sales   :'(

That's what I thought at first ... but wondered why there was no message. Eventually the page loaded.
Still no wheel of fortune, but I guess it's early in Seattle. And only a nice big sale or two would save my month!

Just curious, does the DeepMeta statement update at about the same time as the esp website ?

Tnx ... it easier for me to be refreshing DeepMeta rather than the esp website ... guess it's 'cause I'm in DeepMeta so often and it seems  more user-friendly.

Yes

"What do the items in red font and/or parenthesis in my statement mean?
Tuesday November 8, 2016
Sales with corresponding amounts in red font and parenthesis represent returns or corrections. They are subtractions from royalties, rather than additions. When reviewing the PDF or TXT version of your statement, the 'Sales Date' column shows the date of the original sale and indicates the statement month in which the sale was initially reported. Cancellations and corrections usually take place within three months of the original sale date but in rare cases may occur after that.''

IIRC, the refunds are below the tiny PA sales, but in any case, they have a - in front of them, e.g. -$6.20.
