I rarely upload to FT (or pay much attention to them, for that matter), but I just uploaded a new image and set the Extended License "Credit Price" to 100. The web form accepted the amount and changed the "Your Revenue (Credit)" column to 25 as expected; I then accepted the "Contract Conditions" and clicked on the Update button. Just as the page was changing it looked like the "Credit Price" had reverted back to 20! I couldn't verify this since it's a new upload, and it can't be edited until it's been reviewed, but this got me thinking about my other images. I started clicking on the Edit link on a variety of images in my portfolio, and found to my horror and amazement that they were ALL set to 20 for an Extended License! I then attempted to make corrections to all these files: I'd set the EL amount to 100, the page would accept it, I'd click "Update;" everything would seem fine. But when I'd go back to each image to confirm my changes, I'd see that the EL amount had reset once again to the lowest value. Needless to say, this is very upsetting!
I reviewed the Fotolia forum prior to writing this post and couldn't find anyone describing a similar situation. Have Fotolia changed their policy re: Extended License price setting? You'd think that if I wasn't eligible for the 100 "Credit Price," the web form wouldn't allow me to change the value. I know I've had Extended License sales in the past for 100 credits for which I received $25. Now it seems my whole portfolio has been set to 20 Credits for an EL, for which I'd only earn $5.00.
Maybe I'm missing something or doing something wrong, or missed an announcement? I tried a different browser with the same results. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
