Does any of you ladies get lots of charebacks? Since the complience i get tons and i mean TONS of chargebacks. Last month leiterally I had 50% chargebacks of my total earnings. Makes me so frustrated. I tought this monththey went away but no, it half of the month and ofc they started again, a bigger order of 4-5 clips? Next day CHARGEBACK. Why would I evan wanna keep posting if this keeps happening? Why would I evan bother? I am sooo maddd ! Do you guys know who I should contact to ask about these and what is happening ?
Chargebacks or refunds? Clips4Sale has chargeback forgiveness, so they 'eat' any chargebacks. I think I've had maybe one or two actual chargebacks in 2021. I've had a few refunds this year, but very few. I always look into the reason for the refunds given as well. Many times it's because the customer bought the same clip twice, but sometimes it's because it was fraud.

If you try to type the word into the Clip title field, you get a message "The use of the word "Faggot" is not allowed.".
I'm not 100% certain on this, but I don't think they are censoring what we actually SAY in a clip, just if the word is used in the title or description.

Wow...just recently I had a clip manually approved with fag in the title. It did give me the notice that 'faggot' was not allowed but using 'fag' didn't pop up the same message, and again it was approved for compliance. Now that clip has the title modified and the word fag is removed. Searching my store, any clip with fag/faggot in the description or title has the word removed. Now I have to edit all these clip descriptions that don't really make sense, meaning they all have to go through compliance because they are being edited/updated? fuck mastercard

Approval time in about 10 minutes during the 2am hour tonight (this morning?). Either they have enough crew for 24 hour shifts or their AI is finding it's stride.

Refunds. My bad. I asked, they were all unauthorized charges. I find it weird that it started happening in the same time with the complience. Did some hackers got a crush on me all of a sudden? LOL

FYI looks like whatever update they did this week crops the preview thumbnail about half the size in a category then what it used to be....annoying they don't tell us about these changes....
ericachronic
11-14-2021, 05:58 PM
It did change....circled in red was before...green is now.....so now there is even less space for your preview thumbnail....and all the ones you made in the past to fit are probably broken looking now

Yeah it looks pretty terrible. The site looked neater and more put together before. Now it's all in-your-face and not in a good way. If someone from C4S can give some input as to why they think these changes are better that would be great.
But on a good note, another one of my clips got approved within fifteen minutes today =)

Anyone using the future activation anymore? How does that work considering you don't know when it will be approved?

Their response
The thumbnail aspect ratio was changed with the website layout change, it's not a technical problem, they are designed to show like that, however, we have forwarded your feedback to the upper management to review for possible future changes with the website design/layout.
Did any one else see a notice about this before (that the aspect ratio would change)?

I wish they would give us the biweekly payout that was mentioned months ago. That is one change I was looking forward to. Clips4sale is the only site that pays out once a month.

Answers I have gotten on the thumbnail issue....so frustrating...all of my past thumbnails I made are now broken...years worth of stuff...I am beyond pissed....
The thumbnail was one of the largest factors in getting a sale conversion. Now all my thumbnails look like shit because they are being cropped
I apologize for the confusion, but we have received additional information from the IT team regarding your inquiry. Unfortunately, the images in the carousel are auto-generated and you cannot create a custom thumbnail to be used. Please do not make any changes to your content for this reason.
Thank you for your understanding and we apologize again for the confusion.

Be sure to choose "audio only" on your compliance checklist thing for type when you submit an audio-only mp3. I guess they don't have to review the ones with just audio as long as the subject complies.
I uploaded a long 90 minute mp3 and unless their AI software is instant, they approved it without listening to the whole thing. I guess these new guidelines don't force them to review audio content. It was approved in less than 5 minutes.

Have everyone's email list updates been getting through? Out of the 4 stores I manage, only one has gotten sent out this week.
There's also a clip listed as pending for 3D content that doesn't resemble anyone (so no performers added), and I can't see what the problem is because I don't have access to that client's email.
The pending or rejection reasons really need to be added to the admin.

My sales have been terrible this month. I have not been consistent with updates so that might be the problem. But usually when I post in my best categories, it doesn't take long to get back on track. But I posted daily this week...and my sales are just bad. And I was excited because I tried to come up with better storylines, more detailed etc. I'll have to see how my sales average around this time. It's just annoying and I agree the new layout looks terrible. I hope everyone is doing well, it'll motivate me to keep going. Maybe my fans are tired of me and I need to try new categories.

Yup, it's been slow for me too. But I don't worry about it because Nov has always been a 'meh month for me AND....it's sandwiched in-between two of my BEST months of the year. :-) So it all balances out. But I totally get you, it can be demotivating and worse, make you doubt yourself. That's why I track my sales each month and take notes and over the years I have noticed certain patterns. So I know when to go all out and when not to expect much.

Thanks for sharing. I just checked my payouts over the years and you're right, November is slow! And December is usually better so I'll try to relax :).
However, I just noticed some of my updates are not showing up in the category. It's showing up in my store, but not on the category page at all. I just emailed support. Is anyone else having this issue?

I had the same issue but it did display after refreshing the page a few times. Or try clearing caches. So it was there all along, just not visible to me.

Talked to support about the category thumbnails rail hoping they'll forward producers' opinions.
"This is a permanent change from what we were made aware of by the IT team. We are waiting to get more details on aspect ratio's to provide to studios to make changes going forward. There should be a post in the admin with more details once the information has been provided."
So, are we now meant to make separate images/gif:s with a different aspect ratio than the clip just for the carousel? It makes no sense and means extra work. The thumbnails are so far displayed in their correct ratio in the stores etc. I don't get it.

2 things that completely messing me up at the second:
I have 2 stores and the one who maybe sells 2 clips per day is very high ranked in the top50 (categorie audio only). The second one in the same categorie who sells 4 or 5 or even more per day is now out of the top 50. How os that possible? The more you sell, the faster you drop down????? This happened over the last 3 weeks and I don't get it?
Second thing: I just realized that when you upload a new file, you have to check the "AUTO GENERATED" for the preview (and I NEVER upload a preview or anything like that for my audiofiles) if not, everyone can hear the first 10 seconds of your audio. That was never an issue before. How is it possible that when you only upload an audio without any preview , that the site chooses to auto generated a preview?
I've seen now plenty of studios who offer only audio with a preview to listen to the beginning of their file. Girls, you might wanna check that out ;)
Tea4Me
11-19-2021, 10:41 AM
The "Auto Generated" field *used to be* set to the default of 'Disable preview for this clip'. But a few months ago it was changed and now the default is set at '10 seconds from start'. And there have been times when I've set it to "Disable preview for this clip' and then scrolled on the page (just to double check everything) and then it changes it to 'half clip'! So yeah, I've been making sure to that is set to 'Disable' every time. It sucks that they even changed it in the first place because it felt kinda sneaky.

Do you make more $ from the one selling 2 per day? That's all I could think.. like if you sold 1 $500 clip vs 5 $5 clips it would make sense in that case otherwise sounds like a glitch!
Hopefully they make it more cohesive looking. It looks unprofessional to see squared previews with rounded corners and then scroll down to see rectangles with sharp corners. Pick one
Pornhub doesn't use square thumbnails ! Just saying

Same here. It was appearing before in the category (mixed wrestling) and now it's gone. We're not showing in the update list on some other categories too going days back.

I had the same problem and didn't know it haha Thanks for sharing!
It happened to me in the past and after contacting support they refreshed the category page and resolved it.
But today the support reply was "Can you try clearing your browser cache to see if it displays for you. I just pulled the page up and it was displaying for me. I'm not sure if it was there before. I do know the IT Team is working on the category pages at the moment, maybe they did something to pull changes through"
So maybe they are just messing up things one more day...

Ok, I read the last couple of pages and you all say how fast your clips were reviewed. It was the first time I uploaded videos since that reviewing thing has started, and mine are still under review, I posted them 24 hours ago.
On top of that I got 3 of my old clips inactivated due to Compliance Information Missing / Performer Profile(s) Missing. Wasn't that only for new clips? I did try to add Complience to one of those old clips, but the status is just Pending for days, nothing happens.

Every single one has to have compliance. You can't get anything approved without that.
You can do your older clips in bulk once it's set up but you have to have that in place. There are detailed instructions how earlier in this thread.

So after waiting 48 hours for my new clips to be reviewed I wrote to support and they were finally approved 2 hours later, but that whole thing looks ridiculous. And I'm only uploading once a month.
The old video is still pending, it's almost a week, I suppose nobody is going to look at it unless I write them again.

I'm updating here!
It seems that the problem with videos dissapearing from categories is bigger than I expected. After reporting 3 missing videos they updated the categories and fixed them, but today I noticed than a lot of my videos from this year are not showing either. I emailed the categories list below and they said the'll update them but after 3 hours my videos are not there...
I found missing videos on these categories, but I can't really know how long has been my videos not showing to clients! I just can check low moving categories.
So check yours and email support! They didn't tell me why this is happening just saying "We update the pages, the videos will show up shortly".
Last 2 months have been too slow for me and this is one of the reasons IMO

Submitted a clip at 1:37 PM, got a mail back at 1:59pm stating it was pending because of a "knockout" at a specific timecode and the claim that there was a cut in the video there. It was not a cut, it was a tilt/pan. The scene was all one take (as per the damned rules) and about a minute later the person in question starts to move and get up. I mailed back regarding this, and I'm still waiting on an answer, almost 5 hours later. On what's probably the biggest sales promo of the year.

Felicia[FightServ]
11-27-2021, 08:50 AM
The guidance is in the email, it's not posted on their zendesk/help area that I'm aware. Text from the email -
Your clip includes at Knockout/KO scene at 08:50 - End - In all knockout fetish videos the performers must be shown to be awake and well before the scene ends without making any cuts to the video. Please re-render the clip again and save with the same file name, adding the prefix new- to the file name
---
Mind you, there is no CUT in the video in question. At 8:50 the downed girl is panned/tilted off of to show the victor, then it pans back to her while the standing person starts to move her, and the clip ends around 9:20 with the down girl moving on her own power to get up. It's EXACTLY in line with their stated guidance. There is no cut, it's all one take.
Almost 24 hours now without an answer on this. I'm considering pulling the clip, cutting off the last minute and posting that for free so every producer and fan can see this absolute horseshit.
