Title: 0,09 per credit ?
Post by: Lizard on February 05, 2014, 15:26

I haven't really checked commissions and stuff lately on any site ( avoiding headaches ) but today I noticed a sale that got me thinking...

1,86$ earned on  20 credits sale ?


(http://oi61.tinypic.com/2e3wcyb.jpg)


So that would be 0,09 per credit ?


Then on the other hand I had credit sales bringing much more %, so on what does that depend and why so much of a difference ?

I don't understand your numbers - why are all the subscriptions $0.24? I thought it was a flat $0.35 for every file (except for the $2.00 short/limited/whatever special ones).

I think my lowest was around .14 per credit, but under .20 is pretty uncommon. It looks like you have a new low, but I too am curious about the .24 subs, is this reported in US$?

Yes, about half of them are o,24$  lately and half 0,35$ and don't get that either.

Isnt there any official list of what we are getting out of what on DT ?   

Just read other topic mentioned, and more or less it was left  on wondering point if Im not missing something ?

24c is what you get after 30% US withholding tax has been deducted from your US subs sales because you live somewhere other than the US, unless there is a special treaty arrangement.

That could be it  ;) didnt thought of that , was thinking that that happens before I request payout like on most other sites.

What is a "Credit"?
What is the value of a "Credit"?

A Dreamstime Credit has not the same value as a Fotolia or a 123RF one.

The "Credit" is not an universal currency.

Take it further - the same agency's credits are not of equal value, some come from big, cheap packages, some come from small expensive ones. And on DT credits from the same package generate different commission percentages, depending on what image they buy and how often it has sold. The number of different values credits have is the number of different price-points they are sold at multiplied by the number of different commission percentages that the site pays. In DT's case I'm sure that runs into scores of different values and it might be more than 100.
