May stats

(1/1)

qunamax:
Anyone else noticed that they changed May sales report?
On 18th I got one report with less sales, now I downloaded the report again to find it almost doubled.
The payment notification email got me confused so I had a look at the report again.

ShadySue:
I've given up trying to understand the stats.
I get different amounts on TodayIs20, and on iStock itself. (which I tend to put down to Connect sales)
Also the amounts reported on Deep Meta is often way different from either of the others. Which may be down to the way they work out subs sales (?)
As it happens, the amount iS said I had for May was the exact amount paid into my PayPal a/c, which certainly isn't always the case. Earlier this evening I was looking at the discrepancies over the different reports and trying to reconcile them, but failed totally.  :-[

Smoke and mirrors.

Did you get more money to go with your doubling of downloads?
Oh yes, I'm now showing as exactly twice the downloads and exactly twice the $$, to the cent.
But I already got the paypal payment with the original number. I'm guessing it's some sort of blip. Their coders aren't the most ept on the planet.

I see nothing about it on the forum at the moment. Maybe you were first to notice. I guess most of us don't usually download a statement twice!

Yup, both downloads and money doubled up, that's how I reached cashout and was surprised by Paypal and invoice emails. I still have the old .txt file from the first report, I ran them both through Todayis20 and it is what it is, one is double the other. Guess it's just a common IS, this time it's good news thou :)

That's right.
You know what's really funny, all the sales numbers on each image are even numbers and the smallest number of sales is 2. So I guess my best regards to accounting  ;D
