Title: Mysterious sale at IS
Post by: madelaide on December 16, 2010, 16:33

My balance indicates 90c more than I have registered. My stats show 2 sales on the 13th, but I only found one (and I checked if any of the images that sold later had also a sale on the 13th, also checked all those options partner, prints, etc).

Where may these 90c have come from?

Maybe an old subscription sale.

As I said, I looked in all those options we see in each image (Regular downloads | Custom license (old) | Prints | Extended License | Royalty delay | Partner program), for all images from the 13th on.  That's what puzzles me and I couldn't figure out a reason unless there is some delay between what the stats show and these less normal sales - normally it's the opposite, stats are behind the sales reported in the My uploads page.  ???

Dollar Bin?
Also some people were having problems with iStock subsciptions - I saw on the iS forums that there were some delayed payment issues. Maybe you had one and it cleared?

Or?

Yes, be thankful you haven't discovered money missing.

I also had a veeeery misterious sale a few weeks ago, I sold a XS image for 4.44$. But I kept my mouth shut, it's more money, not less. I never bothered to find out what happened  :D

Hmmmm. My total just jumped a bit over $2: not a late paid sub, not Dollar Bin, not 'normal, I'm not in the PP.
They have done 'readjustments' before: maybe this is the 'rounding down' issue being fixed?
Or ... ?

Nothing new in my balance today, except the refund of an image sold today.  But the 90c are still unexplained.

ShadySue gave the right hint, it was a dollar bin sale.  I thought tthis would report in the general report list anyay.
