I had a few 0.13$ but never a 0.07$ (minutes ago) which is insanely good

If you want to compare apples to apples with other contributors, you want to show the lowest price per credit rather than your lowest royalty. Otherwise someone at a higher or lower percentage can't compare their lowball sale to yours. There is some information in a thread here on lowball sales prices.

I think my lowest was .10 - but that was back in the heady days of 20%

You know something ain't right when 20% is considered the "heady" days.

I think my lowest sale was around 0.12 for a small file. Sad

Not too many of those, fortunately!

I have NEVER had a sale for les then 0.48$ (since going exclusive over a year ago) so 0.96$ per credit is the lowest for me.

I think my lowest ever was .10. Lately I am getting a lot at .16, which feels like a little kick in the gut every time it happens.

time for some MATH!

20k credits = 14.116,00 € = 0.75 € = 1.04$

this is the biggest plan, I am not getting why I got 0.07$ (6.7%) shouldn´t be my huge 15% ?

when were the latest discounts?

The very big discounts require a call to sales people - they're not available from the web site.

Several people have written to support querying low royalties and so far (based on what I saw reported in the Help forum) contributor relations says these aren't a mistake. I think about 47 cents a credit is the lowest reported so far (my personal low as 48.something).

I'm assuming that when a big customer gets p@*#ed off about high prices they sell them a hugely discounted pile of credits to mollify them. Another way that the price hikes hurt contributors.

My low was 10 freaking dollars for a 125 credit EL, and 18 freaking dollars for another 125 credit EL a couple of days later... my blood still boils thinking about it Angry

I see, thanks for sharing, this 0.07$ is a 0.4667$ credit

It seems like when IS messes up the site and hurts us, they offer big discounts to pacify buyers, which - you guessed it - hurts us. I suppose you could argue with 55 -85 % going to them it hurts them more, but I am not sympathetic to that argument.
