Slightly down for me, I'm also trying to adjust my expectations for the usual summer slump 2025.

Up for me because of a mini-jackpot sale and generally a higher rpd.  More dls last month, but a much lower rpd then.

RPD of 58 cents for photos and RPD of $2.67 for video. Second highest month this year in earnings but slightly down on last year and earnings down 19% on May 2023.

A little better than expected, but buyers seem to want only a few categories of images. I've uploaded lots of categories over the years. So I guess I'll just concentrate on those few categories from now on.

average month for me, a few decent sales but no huge ones.  i've been noticing some strange volume for this month (july) so i'm curious what the next statement will look like, my guess is it will all be $.02 sales.

Were these "strange volume sales" straight off inspection? i.e. they weren't in your port yet they sold?
Many of us had these and are waiting, for days, for an explanation, it having been reported on their forum and Fb, at least.

As far as I can see, there are only three scenarios:
1. A buyer has some sort of deal to buy everything which is accepted, as soon as it is accepted. If this were the case, we should have been told by now.
2. It's a bug - and if so, surely they'd be able to identify it as such and tell us, even if they haven't been able to fix it yet.
3. It's some sort of fraud/hack/whatever, by which our files could be 'out in the wild' and no doubt any small payment will be clawed back by Getty. But even if that were the case, if they have ruled out one or two, why haven't they come back and told us there's a problem?
Looks like they're taking days to think of a spin.

I'm piling up files to upload until I know that its safe to 'send' them.
Can anyone think of any possibility which would take them over four days to discover?

yes, that about describes it.  i guess we can expect some weird sales and corresponding refunds like last feb. that was a fun time.
