Title: Sales stopped last Thursday
Post by: Phadrea on July 05, 2016, 12:38
I have been getting consistent audio downloads at IS, this year with increased images sales up until last Thursday and I have not had a single sale since 30th June in both media.

Anyone else experienced this unusual halt ?  :-\

I am referring to image sales too.

regarding the audio I think they are migrating all the files over to Getty so might have something to do with that?

FWIW, I had 2 credit photo dls on Friday and 2 today, which is surprisingly good considering my almost rock-bottom June. Not really surprising in photos because of subs  >:(, which is why I assumed you were referring particularly to audio.

Most of my sales are from the US of A, and the 4th of July is Independence Day. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people take a long weekend, so they can celebrate Abraham Lincoln's rousing speech, back in 1492...

"Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"

.....which would probably impact sales, if only slightly.

Of course they have. That's as per the schedule, this being the 6th. You presumably had over $100 in your balance, and as you haven't had any reported sales for July as yet, your balance would reset to zero or any odd cents. As it does every month.

There isn't even a zero showing or balance of earnings anymore, as there is every month, even with zero earnings.

There's a 1:100 chance you had a round dollar figure.
There's nothing anyone here can do to help you. I have a balance showing, so it's not universal. If you think there's an actual issue, you'll need to take it up with CR.
Can you see your black line? Where are you looking for your balance?

As there are decimal figures I think that there is 1:10000 chance that you had a round dollar figure.

Well it seems to be back to normal anyway. I can see some new sales.

Decimal figures?
These are cents, e.g. $100.27, which gives you a 1:100 chance of having a round dollar total.

Is everyone seeing less and less PPs? Subs are going up for me, June was great in terms of subs, but PPs are very few, I know they are not done reporting but I already see how slow it goes..
