I always keep the sales page open but it looks like it isn't showing up on the profile page any more - weird.  I can still get there through https://www.canva.com/sales as it has kept me logged in.  Maybe they are having site issues - could be why it seems to be slow there today.  I hope the buyer side is up and sales will just get reported late.

Same here in the USA

Numbers are way down but I just had a $112 SOD so that was a nice surprise.  At least those are still selling.

I used to get 2-3 a year but the last one was June of 2015.  They are very rare on FT and used to get one every 300 DLs or so on SS but the last one was a very long time ago - none since they changed the rates.  Too bad.

I had 2 "on demand" sales last week, each for $5.40.

Are you sure it wasn't a total of $5.40?  Two at $2.70 each = $5.40, which is what you would get at the 36-cents level.

To the OP, could yours be two sales totaling $3.55?  One each at $1.07 and $2.48 would give you an average of $1.77.  If you all are misreading the results it would make more sense than different prices at SS - look at the image for each sale and see the price by it.

I did it based on average monthly earnings - makes it easier to compare a full year with a part year.  It was still over 50%.  Ouch.

Much more likely people's slide is down to the increased competition, especially when you rank outside the top 1000, where a few sales here and there make all the difference.

That's probably it for many of us.  If you are not seeing much difference then that is probably good overall.  For me there has been a big drop the past 3-4 weeks, and I am mostly getting base-level subs rather than the higher-value ones that were coming before.  My weekly rank has almost always been much lower than my overall rank since I started with them in 2009 but that changed about three weeks ago.  Guess I'll have to start submitting again if I want to fight against the tide.

We might be talking about different things.  I am thinking about images used in a composition, where the composition sells many times and they pay for each use.  For those the buyer paying ten bucks at first might be cheaper for them but less for us.

I didn't think about when you have 2-3 sales of the same image in a row - you're probably right that those might be used for the same design.  If buyers pay ten bucks up front for multiple uses that might encourage them to do it - that is probably the target market and in that case it should be a big plus.  Hopefully we will all see an effect soon.

I guess I just don�t know what to look for when checking my images.

That is definitely it - you will sort that out in time.

As others said, it's impossible to know for certain without looking at 100%, but I could clearly see noise and posterization in the sky on a couple of those images even without it.  Noise could maybe be fixed with a noise-reduction program, but it's better to avoid that if possible, especially on first submissions, and it might make posterization (the banding in the sky) worse.  Once you get used to seeing noise and artifacts you will find them everywhere, but it may take a little while to train your eyes.  Alamy is very tough about noise, fringing and other artifacts - I got nailed once because I forgot to correct purple fringing in one image of a batch and that is the one they looked at.  Posterization is especially obvious and will never fly.  Don't bother with low-light images for your initial four and be careful about posterization with blue skies.  Good luck!

I like them.  It is only $1 per sale (with 35 cents to you) but that is per use - as opposed to regular RF where a small amount gets unlimited use.  If someone uses your image in a design (e.g., business card, wedding invitation, retirement party) then you get paid every time they use it instead of only once.  Those can add up.  I think it is a much better approach than RF.

My batches from April 15th were reviewed today, so 33 days

I submitted a couple batches of editorial images on April 14th and they were reviewed on May 6th - 22 days later.  I submitted a few batches of normal RF on April 15th and they still have not been reviewed.  I have been deliberately not sending them a message to see how long it will take - will do that after 6 weeks.  Won't bother to submit anything else though until they get the current queue cleared up.

If and when interest rates rise expect a crash across the board.

You are probably right about that and it will probably happen later this year (although in the US I suspect they may wait until after the Presidential election in November).  The relationship between stock prices and interest rates in interesting.  I remember during 2007 or so when things were getting bad and they kept cutting interest rates, stocks would shoot up because interest was lower and that's good for business.  But I always thought, "Wait a minute, the reason they lowered the rate is because the economy is bad - the stock market should be going down, not up!".  Of course eventually it did crash.  Now the reverse is likely to happen - they will raise rates because the economy is improving, which should be good for business and positive for stocks, but the market will go down because higher interest rates are bad for business.  It's a very strange system.
