Title: Confused about credits
Post by: morning.light on June 06, 2013, 05:42
I had a sale for 7 credits ( M size ) and I got 1.73 dollars for it. Then had a sale for 8 credits ( L size ) and only got 1.54 dollars. How is it possible to get less money if the picture was bigger and more expensive?  ???

They sell different credit packs.  Somebody that buys 100s of credits pays a lot less than somebody that only buys a few. Your commision is based on what the buyer paid.

a) Credit Values depend upon the price the customer paid, so when he/she bought a bigger package, the price per credit will be lower.

b) Your commission varies by image level, from 25% for Level 0 and 1 to 45% for level 5.

Oh, I see! I thought the packages are only for subs and people who use credits will always pay the same prices. Thank you for the answer!

All part of the smoke and mirrors obfuscatory BS propagated by our beloved agencies.
