I have read several threads about their 'subscription.' I haven't seen anything concerning an Extended License.

This has been an issue for a while. You are automatically opted-in for partner sales.
Send them an email demanding to opt-out of partner sales, specifically Shotshop and API resellers. That should do the trick. You'll miss out on (low RPD) sales but you'll get a lot of dignity back in return!

I don't understand, on the site it's 80 credits for EL and you can't get EL by subscription.

Opted out this morning.

That is a direct sale from them. This was a partner program. I asked specifically what partner and they wouldn't tell me.

Thanks for clarifying

I have been opt out all along, as I do with all, never wanted a "middle man" scooping up my share

Nah, they're doing fine. They make tons of money on these reseller deals. It's just us who don't make anything.

This is one of many things that has DP currently on my DNU list (Do Not Upload).

I have sent them a couple of site mails asking about commission rate updates and they are not responding. I guess I was too mean in previous correspondence by telling the truth or they were just lying when they said they were "working" on it. They have acted like thugs and the used car sales mentality......say anything to get anything.
