Title: Commission change at Fotolia???
Post by: click_click on December 31, 2009, 11:01

I'm a bit surprised as I just finished keywording an image when I saw that my in my image level commission table that 1 credit equals 37 cents (Emerald).

When I look into my sold images from today - I see that 1 credit was paid to me with 38 cents.

Did they announce a commission change? It appears to be a 1% commission change.

Did I miss something? Is this a fluke?

Can anyone upload an image and get back to this thread and check if they have a change in credit pricing?

Yes, they are lowering the commission and raising the prices. It was announced to start in January, but they seem to have started today. Sorry, but I can't remember where the information came from (I think there was a newsletter). Also, I don't know whether this was discussed  here. You might want to use forum search here or look into the fotolia forum - I'm quite sure it was discussed there.

Today I noticed that my XS downloads are now .31 rather than .34 but my XL downloads are now 2.48 rather than 2.04. Lets hope for lots of large downloads!

Still, it would take almost 15 XS downloads to cancel the increase from just 1 XL.

We'll see how it goes.
