Ooh! It will be another Oktoberfest!

Ooh! It will be another Oktoberfest!

I'm thinking more like OktoberFIST. 

If it looks too good to be true (and it does).....!!!

October revisited?

Same here. Very good so far.

My 'good' month is almost entirely due to just two 'exceptional' days. Is there a way to see what was actually downloaded in PP? It all seems very dark and mysterious to me. Maybe there were a couple ELS .... a stolen credit card ......  or something.....
?

My month was just okay, which I figured would happen with the Christmas dropoff. However, I also have two exceptional days...18 and 19. I didn't make that many more sales those days, but my earnings were much higher.

And now I'm back to wondering if those two days are wrong or if the other 29 are purposely under-reported.

Almost the same as Dec 2012, which is OK, I suppose.

Is there any way to see details for PP?  Like which images sold on which dates?

Fritz,

What are the ABC's on how to use this? I have Chrome installed and downloaded the add on, but can't seem to find out how to add my account details.

Thanks in advance.

That's what I was saying in my original post above, but it's calmed down considerably, almost back to the pre Oct levels.

Briefly, go to my uploads click on PP tab than click red arrow to expand info when and where the files were dl.
Hope it helps.

Not a single sale over $0.28 and overall 60% less than November.

What a crock

I hope you've read that November was a mistake? I noticed that a few people on the PP thread over there don't seem to know this and are wondering why their PP dls are down from Nov. (Didn't see many of them wondering why they had one aberrant good month).

I think he means it was down on the November chart bar, not on the earnings reported in November. It was the October chart bar that was screwed up, not the November one.  But December is always down, so much of it is given over to holidays in the West.

Me too. Same days.
Sigh...............!

Oh, I didn't realise that as I'm not in the PP. Dec is usually my 3rd BMY on iS.

According to my stats the PP is over for Dec 2013. I did okay considering all things....

I did bad, in December. Both in terms of PP and regular sales. Luckily, January is on the up again.

I wonder if some $$ were taken back from our Dec PP due to the overpayment in Oct? I am sure we will never know...

Yup I meant the sales quantity (sorry should have explained)

In fact the Dec. sales were worse than August when I had hardly half the photos I do now in PP.

What a really flipping crock

Well, if it's any comfort, I also had two very good days, but they were different days (16th & 17th).  My 18th and 19th sales were just average. 

Overall the PP totals are about what I would have expected for December.  Nothing out of the ordinary. 

Thanks Lisafx - Hopefuly (?) it's just paranoia setting in!

Same here. I was about 8% up on the year before.

Strange, I expected that they would do the December reporting and the October Clawback simultaneously.  The way they do it now (report December first), we are able to cash in December PP + January Sales ... or at least we are able to submit a payment request BEFORE we know how much they'll take back.
