It struck me that lately I don't get any sales from the US anymore. This coincedentally resides with some strange rejections on November 28th for already approved submissions (way back, three years ago).
It can be a fluke obviously but the sales map on the homepage has not dots at all in the US. Just the other continents/countries.
Anyone else experiencing the same? Being no sales in US and/or having had rejections for already approved files on November 28th and being from outside of the US?

Nobody from outside the US is experiencing this also?

Oh well, it must be just me then.

Merry X-mas for everyone celebrating it!

From Australia and had three sales in the US in December with one of the sales being a $30 video from New York on 23/12.

My main sales are in the USA only.

Everything looks "kinda" normal for me on the map of the last 20 sales from yesterday and today - 60% Europe / 20% US/NA / 20% Asi

Thanks all for the feedback! Doesn't seem to be a structural thing then. I don't sell that much, around 80 downloads a month at SS. But normally, at least a third comes from the US and now for a month nothing. I will see how it goes in January to see if it was indeed a fluke or not.
