Big 'sale', no info

[MimmaKey]

Hi. This morning i checked my account and i see 'available earnings' went up, for a decent amount, but i can't figure out where this amount came from. I checked activities, top sellers - nothing, Earnings shows i had big 'sale' (or whatever that is) but nothing more than that. Any ideas?

Same thing here, received 43,96 USD but can't find the reason. Figuring it is perhaps the equivalent of Shutterstock's Contributor Fund for AI use?

Same thing in my side. I have $97 that just fell from the sky, but no more sales.

[calatorescu]

Same here 🙂

Me too! Since there are no sales and no downloads for this amount, I will assume it is a further payment for further photos selected for the free collection.

[MimmaKey]

no. it cant be that cos non of my photos are on free collection, not this year. Even for previous year, when i had some there, amount i got for free photos wasnt close to this, it was way less.

I thought the same, but mine are just 3 photos eligible for free collection, which I checked are not yet accepted/selected, so the sum of 40 dollars I received must be sth else. 

[photorebelle]

I thought about that, but we should have an email to tell us witch pictures are accepted in the free collection..

Same

Sometimes, there is a small lag between the sale and the statistics. Wait several hours, and it will appear.

But as more of you are reporting this, I checked helpx: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/royalty-details.html

Look at the end of the page.

Hello, when I logged in to check my account this morning, the earnings of 111 dollars are shown, but no downloads were visible. Could there be a problem in the system? If the money arrived by mistake, I would like it to be fixed because I do not want to lose my account.

Thank you

could it be from free collection assets?

[Ferryporsche · Accepted solution]

No, it is not a free collection, they say that many people have been paid for the images used to train artificial intelligence in the Discord account. 
I don't have any information either, I'm waiting for an official statement.

[chestone]

Yes, I am also waiting for official notification from Adobe

[Abambo]

be happy! 🙂
