So it changes depending on location?  I am in South America so I get charged (much) more?   ;D

Mine is probably the same:

I think that's a lot less of a hike than iS charges; the exchange is currently showing as 20c = 13p

That's an awkward typo the OP found.  ;D

Probably they switch it based on location and currency used there.

Ok, that does not explain it. I thought they may convert into local currency and only (wrongly) display a $-sign...

Even if you did sell an image for $398.12, you'd still get only $0.20 commission.

What pees me off is not the "from £0.14 per image" schtick on the homepage per se (well, it does but I knew what I was getting into with micro), it's the "from £0.14" for every {expletive deleted} image size.

You need to point it out to them and they'll undoubtedly correct it. Obviously, it's a mistake. But be proud that Ecuador gets special treatment - Arabia just gets the standard US dollar rate with no conversion into a local currency, real or imagined.
