Isnt that the time where the pp-sales should start at istock ?
the last months i always got the numbers from it at the 5th - 8th of a month.

is it later now or did i just made no sales with it.

There is no 'set in stone' time, other than they have to endeavour to report all sales by the end of the previous month. That said, I think I noticed someone saying their green lines had started a couple of days ago.
You're much better to check this sort of info in their own forums, as they can't be quoted here.
However, don't ask there as you'll just be told "before the end of the month".

PP processing has started on Thursday. I am seeing green bars up the 21st of July now. I expect it to finish on Monday or Tuesday and subs starting after that.

Does anybody know where I can see my G.I. sales? I had one at the end of July but can not see it at PP. As I know this is the place it should show... I'd really love to see which is the file.
Thanks!

How do you know? Where do you see what?

End of July hasn't even been processed for the partner program yet, and typically the subscriptions follow and GI Sales are only being processed a bit later in the month.

One way is to go into My Uploads and click on the GI sales link in the left hand column, then you may have to click on Royalty.

Okay... if you are exclusive, you should be able to see GI Sales in a separate section of the MyUploads page: https://secure.istockphoto.com/my-account/my-uploads/gisales/1/royalty/DESC

If you are non-exclusive, it is kind of weird because while there are "Getty 360" or "Getty Plus" sales, they are typically reported as part of the PP (green bars, not purple). As a non-exclusive contributor, you do not have access to the GI Sales page. I guess, the only way to find out would be to contact support. But I'm not even sure if they can look it up.

If you use the Chrome script from contributor theasis (see here), you could try looking at your latest sales ordered by royalty, say, and have it display the total sales as well as the iS sales; you may have to scroll a few pages but a difference of $104 is quite a lot so you should be able to spot it pretty quick.

ETA: Sorry, that was the wrong link. Try again, fixed it now.
