Personally I would only provide/sell the raw file at a premium. To me it would be like selling off the original film file-in the analog world. I can't imagine a justifiable need for the Raw file unless a complete buy out was in order.

Just my thought.

OK thanks, I'm just going to ignore it. But it's surprising that in the e mail they not included a way to send my answer to the request.

Thanks again.

It's like I said. There is no way to reply to the user and it's that I find regrettable. They just send the request and say this: (Copy and paste here)

This notification was sent by a potential buyer, who is interested to download one of your files in an additional format. If you are able to provide such format please use the following link in order to upload it:...(My file)

If you are not able to provide this specific format or do not want to do it, simply ignore this message and any that might follow. Depending on their frequency (and buyers' interest) you can adjust your future response. If you will submit one, the buyer will be informed automatically.

It say you can adjust your future response...But where, there nothing in my account page or profile page.

And the buyer will be informed automatically...And if not it seem he is not going to be informed???

Vonkara -

Did they politely ask, or did they actually "demand" the RAW file as you wrote?  If the latter, I would completely ignore them.  Nobody paying a few dollars for an image is in a realistic position to demand anything.

In a number of languages 'demand' (it's equivalent) doesn't have the same imperative force that it does in English. In French, for example, 'demander' simply means 'to ask'.

good point! in such cases we could avoid misunderstandings  by  bearing  in mind this is an international type of business and  there might be cultural differences  especially when the person in question is not a native speaker of the language(English in this case).
