I'm putting a 99% likelihood on this sale being fraud.

I'm just hoping i don't wake up one morning and find my entire account suspended for suspicious activity. There is no way that video is worth 1% of that fee.

Congratulations! Very unlikely its fraud because fraudsters aren't going to pay big money to download an image / video for this purpose. Enjoy, nice Christmas present!

Something suspicious is going on.
Same file just sold again today for roughly the same amount.

No idea how/what but something, somewhere is screwing around.

WOW, congrats, never seen such a big sale, wondering if was sold under clip packs, enhanced video or cart sales.

Its down as a "Cart Sale".

But a 100% chance of being fraud/scam/error as it sold again today for a similar amount.

(Previous record for me was $500 but that was legit).

Something bad is going on here.

Sold moments ago (first time on SS)
I'm now level 4 for videos (30% commission), meaning the customer paid $522 for it (+taxes?).
Not bad!

A good month on SS!

PS. I also attached the video specs ... for those interested 😉

What codec was your video loaded in?

In a nice way, I hope you're wrong and these are real sales.

Not Shutterstock, but Pond5 this morning. This sale was a single download. Really great if we see Pond5 pick up again.

I had one today too.

It started very nice on Pond5 this year, but sales have slowed down a lot there sadly since then. But this kind of premium, custom or business license sales aren't rare on Pond5 on a good month.

trucic · « **Reply #263 on:** March 04, 2024, 08:59 »

… they are most common on IS and SS, but with sad royalty percentage for us…

Best start of a month on SS for me so far

Only just saw this on a random scroll. ProRes. Nothing special about it.
