Insulting it is!!!...just got one of those a few days ago :o
Tell you one thing though, they wont get another upload from me, I rather give my photos to their closest competitor DP, they give me a better deal for my work.

March, 0.168,
April, 90% of downloads are 0.216

It is still more than 0,08$ with iStock, rigth?

But, to be serious... this is some joke! Are we talking about earning money or sth?

I got a reply.

Those are discounted prices to keep customers happy. Every RC level has a threshold and you cant go below this threshold. My threshold is 14 cent, so my cut was still above threshold. She sounded as if I should be happy with that.

Lowest threshold is 12 cent. This is what you can expect.

I am deleting my portfolio.

I can't believe that  :o   >:(

So, should we delete our PF from that extremaly cheap micros? Should we stay with ... what? Where is it going to? It's almost like giving images for free... we have some cost of every session. Pathetic.

My sales there have been dreadful this month. I stopped uploading when they cut the royalties and introduced their RC system. I've no intention of restarting. I hope to see their stats on the right start sliding over the coming months...

when they announced their last big cut they swore we'd all see volume increases in 2013.

NOPE.
i've increased my port 100% in the past 4 months (easy to do at my <500 size admittedly) and not seen any shift in sales. my BME is still in last year.

anyone else?

True but all downloads on IS are not 8c while all 123 are for pennies.  Business is business so no hard feelings but haven't uploaded anything since October and have no intention of doing so.

Same here, as if they turned my portfolio off. I had a BME last month and thought they would live up to their promise. BUt this month only 15 sales. I stopped uploading in November 2012

Did anyone have sales reported on 123RF since April, 20th? I'm asking because I usually get at least one or two sales per day, and haven't had anything this week...

Wow, they have no self-respect. As long as they can get a buyer, they're willing to go rock bottom. They don't have any negotation skills.

Tom, your sales are 5 times better then mine.

Plonk, my sales have been 60% lower compared to last month. I was picking up sales the first 3 months, and now its like someone switched of my portfolio.

I have been with 123 for exactly 12 months, this is my 13th month. Maybe after one year something changes. I dont know.

But I was reconsidering uploading to 123 again, but after this month, and with the 18 cent sales, I am back to hating them again.
