Title: Delayed earnings on shutterstock ?
Post by: Julied83 on January 07, 2015, 18:18
Few minutes ago, on my microstockr iphone app, I had a 28$ sales on shutterstock for an image. But never had the 28$ added to my total account on shutterstock website neither on my microstockr app. Did it happens to you too sometimes ? Will the amount be added few times later ? Or is it just happens to me ? What do you think ?

It's rare, but it happens.  Just be patient.  Takes a week or two, maybe.  It happened to me maybe one time :)

You should learn to be more patient in generally I think.

It can take up to 48 hours for a download to register and appear in your earnings. That's one kind of delay.

Sometimes you will see a file sold on the map, but nothing on the income. Sometimes you will see money on your account and nothing on the map.

If anyone is tracking locations or time of DL by the time it shows up, keep these facts in mind. We don't know... It's not like IS where the DL or money might show up two days later, but the exact time is listed. SS we just get a credit and the date it's recorded.

Reporting of sales can be and usually is delayed. There is so much data that needs to be processed, that instantaneous reporting is just not possible.

In general I would say that a day's sales are not final until 24 hours later in Earnings Summary (which really is the most reliable tool). Graphs and such can take much longer.

So don't look at today's earnings, look at yesterday's earnings.
