Title: Is this a record for an EL?
Post by: sarah2 on December 19, 2012, 04:50
$2.64!
Nice to get reminded why I don't submit to DP any more - but is this a record?

I just got one of these too. Is it possible to opt out of EL on DP. I just had a look at their website but couldn't see an opt-out button...

$2.64 is really unacceptable for an EL.

Out of idle curiosity (I don't submit to DP), what rights did the buyer get for your $2.64 royalty?

put another zero behind that price and you're okay...

I've been selling on DP for years. I've never seen a EL that low. In fact DP growth rate month to month far out paces SS for me. They are a good steady earner. As far as I know they don't have a RC rate and they have not cut referral earning. I think DP is awesome!

Did you let them know that it is unacceptable? For some images you can not buy EL, so opt out must be an option. At least for some.

About DP:
After one Year I have 1000 images online (99,99 % acceptance  :o  )
90 sells-39 $
And YES credit XL is 2,64 $  (2 sells), but  I have mostly subscription sells  0,30  >:(

I will wait another 5 or 6 months to reach 50 $ payout, then bye bye DP.

I really do not know who the he.. gave them Earning Rating 12,5.

$2.64 is utterly pathetic - those ELs sell for 80 credits - 80!!
