I would say, bro, with respect to your decision, that you've made a mistake.

It is their website, and their marketplace, and we -contributors- need such websites to make PASSIVE income from our work. and Adobe is one of the big players, and many thinks that they're going to dominate the microstock market within 3-5 years.

If there is fraudulent activities on your account, which increases your revenues, and then there're charge back on the CC used to purchase your content; adobe has the right not pay you what's been charged back.

It is disturbing, and its frustrating, and disappointing that Adobe does not have strong anti fraudulent infrastructure.. but until they have, let's play with their rules and be patient.

Thanks for the comment
Can you tell me what mistake i did exactly?
If you mean reporting those irregular sales from my end, i think i did the right thing according to their rules.
If i didn't, the block will come at some point, likely in the payout.

If there is a real fraudulent activity, they should distinguish between fraud and genuine sales (create some unique content that have a sequence nature but not similar in the same time) you'll get multiple downloads from the same users, (They unbocked my account btw around 5 months ago, seized all earnings, although the half were normal sales, then blocked again when someone downloaded some content in short time).

I agree with the last part, until they have i will open a new account, a second account might go through the same issue and waste a lot of time.

What I found interesting was 3 downloads for $971 dollars. What kind of licenses are those? It's not like someone came and downloaded a set of images, or 20 like images or something. Three for $971! I want one of those buyers.

I guess those are Premium images, 1 = $250
Not sure who classifies them as Premium

You had a batch of $250 downloads and don't think that's suspicious? Most people never get one. The credit card cheats just randomly picked your account for all their fake purchases at premium prices, when a single or sub would have gone unnoticed. Do you have an enemy who would do this to kill your business, because the whole story is just too obvious.
