Title: Is anyone getting PP sales for last month yet?

Or is that going to be delayed until they resolve their past accounting issues?

Isn't it more logical to check the forums there?

Although you'll get plenty opinions here, no-one knows any better (and Lobo isn't always right).

iStock is doing so well that I don't even need PP sales to take some money from there ;D

No. The glue dried up on the sticky note that had the password to "Da Big Computer" on it - and it blew out the same window their accountant left open when he took a short cut to street level....head first.

December's PP run has just started!

So far I have a solitary sale of 60c from the 19th. Hopefully the PP run is not yet finished.

Oh, they must be running PP and GI together, as GI has just started.
(Maybe more likely your sales are Getty360, which show as PP sales?)

Dont have to worry about that any longer... its almost as if micro stock has no frustrations for me any longer. Cutting IS and FT is just soooooooooooooooooo good for my peace of mind.

There is money in the bank for dec pp sales probably Getty360. Though my nov pp sales were increased by 0.75 USD without notification without anything. Scary!!!!!!. Don't even know where the money is coming from PP, getty, getty360 or iS direct sales. Could even be Santa, though Getty has not the name.... not even close.

They just payed the Getty royalties. Maybe partner will be next.

They did? * that means no Getty sales for me this month. It is bad enough that half my videos that were ported to Getty are not labeled as HD even though they are. I posted in the forum and contacted CR...Do they get anything right over there?

Is that a rhetorical question?

Of course it is :).

I think I may pull my video exclusivity. I'll see how next month goes, but iStock sales have diminished and Getty was keeping up, but if Getty sales go away there is no reason for me to stay exclusive.

I got my first PP for December yesterday.  One dl on December 9th for $41.10.  No other sales reported yet.  Usually once the sales start coming in, it's a steady stream for a couple of days.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I just did more investigation and while this $41.10 sale is showing as "Partner Program", when I go to the image itself, and I look under Partner Program (and not G.I. Sales), it shows as a Getty Images sale.  I did not even know that my images were on Getty....I thought they only went to Thinkstock and Photos.com.

Thanks for the help.  Makes sense now.
