Title: PP Sales 1st-3rd September?
Post by: gostwyck on October 30, 2012, 11:41

With the PP earnings almost through for September I have no recorded sales at all for the first 3 days of the month. I haven't had a zero sales day there since my port was transferred over so it seems strange to suddenly have 3 on the trot. Anyone else have sales recorded for 1st-3rd Sept?

Nope!  but the PP sales were extremely good, way above expectations. Must say if PP sell this well I dont really care about any IS income. As independants it wont be much at IS anyway.

I don't have sales for Sept 1-3 either - and I thought it was odd as things were generally very good in September. Sometimes they have done the month out of order in the past, so possibly we'll see those days fill in before they complete this month's run?

Me too.  I would have thought nothing of it ... lots of zero days ... but with all the big ports reporting zero ... hmmmmm.   :-\

So, how long does one have to wait to insure that all the sales are reported (IS would definitely be the site I'd audit if it were in my power).

I do have a pp sale listed the second.

I guess it's when the total has remained the same for a couple of days.

I'm not sure I would like to audit Istock. It could be a dangerously traumatic experience if you actually knew what was going on there. You might lose the ability to blink with the shock of it.

So true! 

Glad to hear PP sales are good for most.  Mine are a bit down from last month, but right about average for the year.  They helped boost Sept. but not enough.  It's still down 4% on August...

I think they're done. I didn't have any more PP sales added overnight. Sales were up 25% on August, so I'm pleased to see some of the slack at IS is made up
