the problem is that without contacting them we never know and maybe the sales from Feb 2nd wouldn´t have entered..

Just in case, I suppose it would be a good idea to remind them that we expect January sales reported in a timely manner...

And also to remind them to pay in time. I asked for a payment on Feb, 2nd and I am still waiting. In addition to their delay in reporting sales, this is annoying.

One of the good things of microstock in general - compared to real world clients - is that they used to pay without having to remind them over and over. But this is not happening anymore lately.

And your are going to wait a little longer... Why? Because of this little gem hidden on page 12 of this thread:

Got this late this afternoon:

"... Starting in 2011, payment requests will be processed once a month, on the last Friday of each month.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and wish you all a peaceful time during this festive season.

Thank you.

The StockXpert Team."

But it ain't money -or its timely delivery - that's making us happy, is it?

This plain pisses me off.  I have Dec and Jan still pending.  "It's my money and I want it NOW!" to coin a TV commercial.

Thanks, I missed that one.
I feel sorry for them: they must be very unhappy with all the money they are holding for us for such a long time.

I missed that too but thought I had seen another post pledging to have monthly results posted before the 15th of each month.  It's after the 15th.  I don't see any January results.   Maybe I was wrong?

Your were wrong in believing anything they said 

But I'm sure, they are sorry as heck and working night and day to resolve the problem... And if you believe that, maybe you'd be interested in this nice bridge I have for sale here? 

Ask, and thou shall receive 

My StockXpert earnings for January were just posted...

Mine too but my payment request is still pending

Wow that was quick  . Now I just got my payment too.

I received my payment right now too. And also january sales reported.

So Sad.  I lost the LOTTO and got my sales results on the same day.   

SWEET!!!     AND PAYMENTS HAVE GONE OUT TO PAYPAL, TOO!!! 

Not sure why I'm shouting with joy, because seriously...it about darn time they cleared up the books.

ditto, nice to see Feb earnings posted in a timely manner.

Unfortunately, the same is not valid for payments, at least via Moneybookers.

Although, according to them, "starting in 2011, payment requests will be processed once a month, on the last Friday of each month", my payment is still pending since Feb 17... Just disgusting (to say the least)!

You lost me there. The 25th is the last Friday of the month, not the 17th, how is your payment pending since the middle of the month, when it's not due until the end of the month. What did I miss in this?

A new gem in response to payment reminders:

"Payments are now processed on the last business day (sic!) of the month. You should receive your payment on or shortly after (sic!) February 28th, 2011."

Meanwhile, StockXpert site still states 3-day payment processing period...  

My images stat still shows enormous quanitity of sales on Stockxpert...

Hmmmmm... excellent point.  My earnings don't seem to be divisable by 28?

Just a guess?

We're back to that same confusing game where things that happen on IS are not the same as things that happen on StockXpert. I don't remember any raise announced, from ThinkStock for StockXpert images. But that's OK I don't remember as much as I used to? 

Only one I saw was that IS raised the commission for ThinkStock subs to 28c.

I did notice that all my sales on StockXpert were L and 25 cents. Now they are selling the same images as I have on IS, and not the StockXpert exclusives. Might be time to pull the plug since everything is the same and I'll get a whole 3 cents more! (or maybe not?)

I see earnings for March, or am I the one confused now and that's Feb?

Here's an interesting quote from the past. 2006 5+ years ago.

shutterstock just upped the anty and is now giving out 25 cents per download.  That is quite a significant raise as it is 25% for those who were earning 20cents before.  The submitters who joined shutterstock in the early game were allready earning 23cents per download, so their raise is really only 2 cents or 8.5%.. either way it is great news.

Funny that people were working for 20c a download and happy to get a raise to 23c a download. The top people were getting a whole 25c!

Also September, 2006. SS hits 1 million files online!

No one ever said the former StockXpert (i.e. Hemera collection) will go to 0.28.

Good old times. I wrote that text 6(!) years ago...
