Title: 0.21$ at dreamstime, is it normal?
Post by: Smithore on March 25, 2008, 03:22

Looking my sales this morning, I see 2 subscriptions sales with 0.21$ (0.13€) commission, is it normal?
At this price I prefer donate my image, that's  so ridiculous !!!

well sometimes in the past when dreamstime has raised their prices - members who had 'old credits' could still buy images at the old price and use up those credits.  I don't know if that is still the case or not though.

Occasionally  i got 0,21 or 0,25 $ for download, thats really  humiliating , i would rather give them for free. This is just one of the reason why  i don't work with them anymore, unfortunately i have to be there till may (6 month rules)

Ok, thanks !!!
So that's "normal" !!!
Hope Dreamstime will raise our subscription price after shutterstock new prices.

In addition to the 21 cent subscription sales I recently had a 35 cent commission on a small size regular sale - I assume also from partner deals.

I think one can opt out of the partner deals, and I'm thinking about that.

The only additional reason to keep these lowball sales coming is that at DT, unlike all the other sites, you do get more money (as long as it's not from subscriptions) for images that have moved up a level.

You can opt out of partner, deals, and we have done that.
