1 sub in the last month so things are looking up! All other sites are dead including SS with only 1 OD and 5 zero days so far in June. Searching for a better outlet which is more sustainable.

Looking at the 3rd zero day, not happened since my 1st month 7 years ago.

Today looks like it will be the 9th zero day this month! The rare event is now the norm.

Have you read the descriptions to most of the photos, pure comedy!

Signing out and in didn't work for me. Uploaded 7 pics (Safari because Chrome stopped working months ago with no fix), 3 appear on the edit and submit page but only as empty boxes which never generate the thumb. BS seems to be running on autopilot anyway as things don't get fixed and very low sales.

7 zero days so far this month but I did have my first OD in 2 weeks for 2.70 so it's all fine!

Received email but nothing yet, even though they stated '...we added credits to your account today'.

0 May sales and a massive 25c in the last 21 days, something weird happening as my sales have been fairly regular for 6 years.

76c below payout!!! Dire.

A spike on DT is one sub sale!

FAA - 14 sales in 3 years but only 2 sales last year (good ones though!). Still worth the fee.

Artflakes VS Fine Arts---Which one has been your best experience? Thanks
Artflakes is free, FAA is not
FAA upload system is antique (very bad site design), the Artflakes one is prehistoric (does not read IPTC)
Some years ago sales used to be enough good on both sites.
Today they are almost inexistant
Agree, last sales on Artflakes was 18 months ago ($110) but both were refunded (only found out 3 months later after emailing them!). Hope they're not keeping it for themselves and fobbing us off with the refund story!

Total shambles.

Those gradients are the best (worst) yet. Why do they bother! Wonder if a plain white background would be accepted. Then black, then red......

About 3 months for me too, use Chrome. Worked on Safari but not the most elegant solution! Sales have flatlined anyway.

Just had a few messages from him:
mehdycr: "Thanks for your advice , but i don't steal anything , i remove the watermark like any other service on fiverr .. "
Me: Removing the watermark means you haven't paid for the photos. You are making money off people like me who create the photos to sell on Shutterstock. Because fiverr can't be bothered to police things like this means you get away with it. Reported to Shutterstock.
so , should i stop this service ?
Yes you should stop and everyone who does this should stop but many probably wont because it's easy money. Doing graphics work for people is ok if it's your own work. I'm a graphic designer and wouldn't touch Fiverr because the so called clients want stuff for very little money. The last logo I did I charged 400, not 5! The client was happy. Value your work and don't support shite sites like Fiverr. Good luck.
yes i agree with you , i work a lot of time for just 5$ , but there's no alternative , !
There are alternatives, contact local print shops, design companies etc offering to do freelance work. You'll make a lot more money than on Fiverr. Back to work now, hope it works out, seriously. It's tough to make money in graphics these days (been doing it 40 years), partly because of sites like Fiverr offering cheap work lowering prices for everyone.

Awful site that encourages theft on a large scale. All we can do is report them and hope something gets done (unlikely). Just left him a message saying what he's doing is theft and encourage everyone to do the same.

Safari worked last time I tried, would prefer Chrome to work.
145

Also stopped uploading due to not working with Chrome, why don't they just fix the problem!

75% down on last year//last Feb etc. I'm not a big seller but the drop was quick and hasn't recovered.

Thought Jan was bad, Feb 75% down! Can it get any worse (looking like it will). Depressing what's happened to SS.

I'm out too, obviously don't meet their new higher standards (but not new higher payments!). No mention of paying what they owe and being under the $50 minimum I don't know what will happen. I'm hoping they pay up as I'd prefer to avoid legal action.

Anyone else having problems with the new IM? When I click on a submission in the left column it says there are 0 images! It's the same for all submissions. It worked a couple of days ago.
Sorted, had images not for sale as a filter!
