Nice Pond5, really nice...
Ill write a complain now.

Instead of complaining, let's first take a closer look.
The GPP sales are from November-May (at the latest, could even be several months before November depending on the global delay), so, unless "unchecked for months" means BEFORE November 2019, it is all perfectly in order.

So you want to say that this purchase happened months ago and it showed up in my account today?!

Yes, that is exactly what I want to say.
We only get GPP reports every 6 months (give or take), and they are for sales going back at least 6 months. First, they get the reports from all the companies they work with, and then send out the payments to us.
This is why the delay is actually likely to be MORE than 6 months, maybe even up to 9 months. It of course depends on the delay from all of the global companies in the first place, and how long it takes to put together a detailed list for us.
But we can be sure that it AT LEAST covers sales from November, since the last GPP report was in November. More likely, however, even sales from September-October may be included here.

Ok, i understand now. Thank you. Just sad i didnt opt-out earlier than. Anyway it is a shame selling 4K footage for 47.99.
I my opinion all the people that still opt-in this kind of sales actually support low earnings (more low earnings doesn't mean they will earn more money), and shutterstock way of seeing things.
Mindset "something is better than nothing" will just lead us into shutterstock 1.5$, and 0.6$ earnings (which from January 1 will ne 0.75$ and 0.3$ per video clip).
People opt-out of this kind of licenses while we still can. 5$ per video clip is unsustainable, imagine what 0.3$ will do to you.
Pond5, and Adobe WILL follow shutterstock way if we don't raise our voice.
