Any word on when the third party sales will be released?

I wrote Jan back on 6/2 inquiring. He's usually pretty quick to respond, but I haven't heard anything yet on it.

The last few have all taken about three months to be posted (if I recall correctly) so I'm not expecting anything till the end of June. Any earlier will be a pleasant surprise! BTW I'm assuming that any API sales via Pixmac just show up right away as a regular sale? Regards, David.

My last 3rd party sale payment was last year sometime. I presume it's because I started uploading directly to their 3rd party sites but I never received confirmation about that. Perhaps that's what's happened to other people too?

I am quite "excited" once it will be my first payment from this "party" stuff, hope more than regular

We are still waiting for payment from our distributor, but it should be out shortly.

Thanks Linda

Linda just mentioned in this thread that the 3rd party sales should be reported soon. Their partner has given them the sales report so they just have to get it on their own site now.

1st quarter third party sales have appeared in my account (look under referrals...).
Not much, but at least it's there.

Hi!

Just wanted to answer the question about the waiting. Jan and I have both pushed for faster reporting and payment, but unfortunately Ingram has been slow to respond. We are waiting for the next report to come this week, so hopefully we'll have the payment for the next quarter ready soon. IF there are further delays we'll have to use our collection bureau. We're also renegotiating this deal to improve the terms for YAY and our photographers. Hopefully we'll get a new agreement suitable for all parties.

For our new deals the reports will come in monthly. We will then send an invoice, and when this is paid we'll transfer the amount accordingly to the different photographer accounts. I'm not sure if you will see downloads and prices in real time for API, or if you'll see it after we receive the reports - I'll have to talk with our CTO Bjorn. No matter, I think our new solution will be much better for everyone involved.

As for the lower commission - I suspect the lower sales might be due to migration of customers from the high-priced Ingram collection to his new microstock site. Hopefully the new API agreements will increase everyones sales again this fall/winter.

Thanks,

Linda

Hi!

We've got the sales report for Q2, but not the payment. It should be in place shortly, and payment hopefully by the end of August. We are still renegotiating, and will update you when we have reached a new agreement.

thanks,

Linda

Thanks for the update!

Hi Linda! I'm just curious - what has to be "negotiated"? If they are a vendor and used our images already, wasn't a deal already in place? I guess that's where I'm confused as to the negotiation part, unless i'm misunderstanding something here, which is very possible.

jm · « **Reply #19 on:** August 17, 2011, 09:40 »

I'm new to Yay so I may not understand something. I have to admit that this system is little bit weird to me. I can understand that you won't send us money unless Yay is paid by their partners. But I would really appreciate if I can see exact amount that I have made instead of "api sale" info. All I know is that I will receive 50% of something but as it is very difficult to find out what size was downloaded - in fact I know nothing. So waiting for reports looks little bit like a waiting for lottery draw.

That was over a month ago now and still no Q2 payment. An update would be appreciated. Regards, David.

Second quarter payment went into my account tonight. Even lower than last time so a bit dissapointed after the long wait. Hope you all have better results! Regards, David.
