BTW, why haven't we received our payment yet this month? It's 15th now

Just arrived in my account.

When they first started the subscription model, my Canva earnings dropped from an average of $400/m to $200/m. With constant uploads I slowly worked my way up to about $280/m again, equaling ~30sales a weekday.
After their latest announcement, sales dropped to 6-8 a day, leading to a monthly income of about $80.

I'll wait for April earnings payment day and see if they doubled my total March income (~$270) and pull the plunge if earnings plummet after the 6 months period, or if they double the subs earnings (~$26) and then quit immediately.

Contacted them twice already, no reaction yet 

Regular month. Bad start into first week, but sales picked up then.

Since January 17 there are no sales registered in my account. Seems impossible, usually I have 20 or more sales a day. Everything else works.
Has anyone checked their sales these days and similar experience or is it just me?

QuoteThomas Cook travel just went bankrupt leaving 600,000 stranded and 21,000 out of work.

Offtopic. I was watching the news showing a Thomas Cook airoplane taking off. Perhaps at least all related stock media to have some boost sales. (in other words, one's death is other's survival...)

Actually, I sold the Thomas Cook logo (I shot it three weeks ago for Adobe editorial) eight times today... Not that it makes me rich, though.

Seems I'm late to the party, just wanted to post a similar screenshot.
They're incompetent but at least cordial.

Gavin,
I had preferred to sell some images directly to you and leave out SS but I'd also be happy to have sales via SS and links to my port from your site. You might want to have a look into my port, there's a lot of isolated objects that could be useful (actually, duden.de, a german online dictionary uses some of them). Also a lot of vectors, btw.

Cheers

Nevermind, seems to work again. Strange, though.

There seems something broken either on shutter's accounting side or on the customer side; usually I have 5-20 downloads on Saturdays and Sundays, but the last download shown in my account is from Saturday morning and nothing since then – that is most unlikely to be correct,  as it hasn't happened for about 10 years now.
Anybody else with a huge port (mine is 10k files) noticing the same?

... or is it just me?

Hello Mat, I received a letter stating this:
" if you requested a payout which is still pending, we are cancelling the request and credit the amount back to your account."
But my request is still showing as pending and the money are not showing in my current balance.
Will the request be cancelled or will I receive the royalties?

I got the payment requested on 12th today.

And why in hell will they cancel my requested payment when they removed the miscalculated royalties from my account at the same time? Totally weird

possibly phishing. I hope so. Looks like the mails are send  en masse. Not personally addressed, but a simple "Dear #firstname #lastname,".
Maybe Adobe got hacked.  Last week also got some phishing mails from EyeEm and 500px.

No phishing. The account balance is real and indeed, 500px got hacked and asked all users to change their passwords. Read the news.

Got a mail from AS today saying they miscalculated my royalties (no further explanation of which files or days). Yesterday I had balance of $96, today it's $-12 (yes, negative).
Anyone else?

There are surely more stolen images but since he's quite good at photoshop and always changes sky and mood the originals are very hard to find.

Someone (Mat?) from AS might want to look into this...

I just contacted the original photographer of the grilled meat images - the other two have stolen it. The original is this one: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/succulent-thick-juicy-portions-grilled-fillet-138421859

Hope he can have shutterstock take the fake ports down

I think we can sell it. Anybody wants my code? Suggest a price...
