Title: comission not being paid at correct level
Post by: Dave on January 24, 2011, 01:09

I am having a strange experience, one of my images has sold 5 times, in one place on the site it says it is a level 2 image, my commission has only been paid as a level 1 image, which it is obviously not. Anyone else having this problem, I know it is only a few cents to me but across the site photographers could be being duded out of a lot of money.
I have emailed DT and they say it is a level 1 image which it can't be, according to there specs, ie 1-4 sales is level 1, 5 and above are level 2.

Subs royalties are increased with Level 3, not 2. Your image must have sold as a subscription. See the chart here - http://www.dreamstime.com/sellimages (http://www.dreamstime.com/sellimages)

Here's the post from a thread on DT where I asked the same thing a few months ago.  Your image is in fact still a level 1 purchase.  On the 6th download of that image will you get to the level 2 payment.

It's confusing but that's how it was explained to me.

Here's that thread if you're interested.

The 5th sale is still level 1, it's on the 6th sale that you get level 2 payment.
