I checked 123RF's FAQ, and it still says :
Sample Credit Download Calculation:
A customer downloads a Ultra High Res ($3) version of your photo.
You'll receive = $3 50% = $1.50 from that sale.
Nothing specific is said about EL's royalties in the FAQ.
So I guess we (should) get 50% of all credit sales, standard and EL's.
Today, I had 3 PEL sales (Print Only EL) which earned me $10 each. How can an PEL sold for 50 credits earn me $10 ?
Being in France, I can only see the credit package prices in euros, and they sell from 0.89/credit for a 56 credits package down to 0.68/credit for a 7400 credits package (I didn't consider the lower 2 packages, as a sensible buyer would by at least a 56 credit package for an EL). Based on today's rate, it converts to US$1.16/credit and US$0.89/credit. So a PEL price ranges from $44.5 to $58 depending on how many credits were bought.
So my cut for those EL's is somewhere btw 17% and 22%. Far from 50%.
As I said, I cannot see credit package prices in US$. But let's say they sell for the same amount in $ as in (from $0.89/credit to $0.68/credit). It makes my cut btw 22% and 29%. Still far from 50%.
And some of my standard credit sales (not EL's) earnings, considering they represent 50% of the price paid, would correspond to $0.57/credit to $0.65/credit, which are below the cheapest credit price available.
Did I miss something or do some of you see the same discrepancies ?
