Used to make over $100 every month, month after month, year after year, but recently sales have crashed and burned. June was my lowest month there since I joined them in 2011 and, unless thing improve, they are on my cull list.

I would just remind those who may not know about Canva's history, that asking questions and communicating about Canva here, with fellow contributors, can get your account closed.
Thanks Jo Ann, I will keep quiet from now on

EDIT: I've just checked another of my images that was selected for inclusion on a Canva Layout. That image has been sold 17 in the last week, via a link from the layout, even though the image is apparently not available.
It's odd to me that a popular image, that was selected by a Canva staff member to include in one of their designs, suddenly is deemed to be no longer worth including in the collection.
That's not just odd - it's positively suspicious, at best. 
Maybe there are legal reasons to take it down? It would just be nice to have an explanation.
No, scrap that thought. I just checked the database, and there are plenty available from the same location, and some of mine from the same series.
It's normal practice at Canva, I take it you haven't read the whole thread, it's all happened before.
I've read the whole thread, thanks, and been onboard with Canva since day one. I'm fully aware that this has happened to others in the past but, to my knowledge, we haven't had any explanation from Canva as to what there selection criteria is or whether there are other reasons for the takedowns? To be clear, I have no issue with them removing images - they grew quickly and ingested a lot of imagery that probably didn't make the grade - either technically or artistically, so a cull down the line is quite natural and acceptable. But, if this is indeed a cull, then why take down images that have been included in the purchasable layouts and sell well? It doesn't make much sense to delete an image that has sold, (and is still selling), several hundred times. I'm just trying to ascertain whether there is another reason. I have asked Canva a couple of times, but my emails are falling on deaf ears. Maybe they are too busy dealing dealing with customer complaints to listen to contributors.

I have the same issue of sales on an image that is no longer available for sale.
I emailed to ask how this was happening a few weeks back, but haven't received any kind of response.
An image that was used in a design mock up will always be available to license, even if pulled from the collection/search, is my understanding.
Perhaps that's what's happening. It's strange to pull images that appear to be selected for layouts and sell quite often though. I noticed this image was not available about 2-3 weeks ago, and it's sold at least 10 times since then. EDIT: I've just checked another of my images that was selected for inclusion on a Canva Layout.

I get that it's their choice, but an explanation would be helpful, rather than just leaving us to notice disappearances.

So Canva removed 80% of my approved images and now they'll get tons of similar "unwanted" images through IS.
BAD BAD NEWS!
What? Can you elaborate what happened? How they just remove your images? This is scary.
Few years ago they decided to remove a lot of previously approved images, because they don't need them anymore! Even images with a lot of sales have been deleted! It was not just me, many contributors complained about it here on MSG.
I just noticed, that some of my images (that sold quite well) were removed. The funniest thing, that I keep getting sales for an image that is not available anymore...
This teaming up with getty is very disappointing indeed .

If it doesn't work out and you want to leave, how long are your images tied in for? I have a friend at another macro site, and his images are tied in for 2 years if he chooses to leave, and he also can't upload similars elsewhere in that period. Is it the same at Cavan?
I started submitting to Cavan (only about 20 images) but stopped because they have a 2 year exclusive hold on your images before they'll remove them from the site. I knew about the 2 year hold beforehand and thought I'd be ok with it but ultimately decided it's a deal breaker for me. Yes they also restrict out take images from the same shoot to be submitted elsewhere.
Thanks for clarifying - I struggled to find much to read about terms and conditions, without signing up as a contributor. This is certainly a big consideration, as two years is a long time to be tied in anywhere.

I spoke to 123, and it looks as if it's an error - especially as it was only a blog size image!
It was a nice thought while it lasted
Shame when it happened to me I got about $2,000 for three images...was quite excited for a few seconds.
Yeah, it was lovely to see that sudden graph spike on Stockperformer, but I had a feeling it was too good to be true.

I recall it happened to lots of people 2-3 years back turned out to be an error...still you never know good luck ;-).
Thanks Deep down I' kind of assuming it's an error, but a small part of me remains hopeful!. I messaged 123, so I'll let you all know how it pans out.

It doesn't hurt to send an email and inquire about what kind of license it was ...
Yeah, I'll probably do just that. I was just wondering if it was an isolated incident or whether it was happening to lots of us.

I got few of those around a year ago.. sadly they were all refunded within a week. Never asked for an explanation, but surely was a fraud.
I'm sure there is a problem with it, but this isn't a sudden flurry of sales totalling $400, this is one credit sale apparently paying me commission of $400. Maybe it is the 'great news' we were promised for the end of March, and we have an extreme pay rise

Same here.
Another fake hope as it seems.
Yeah, looks that way. I guess it's nice while it lasts I just hope they don't lull us into a false sense of security, and then claim it back in about 4 months time.

$400

I got an abnormally large sale and can't figure it out. On the earnings page it's shown only as a Credit sale, but I've never seen anything this big before.
I'm hoping it's correct but fear it may be an error, and it will suddenly lose a couple of 00s.
Anyone else seeing any anomalies?
