it looks like it is still $1.00/credit.

So it looks like those who managed to register on the european site are getting 1.26357 X more than those on the american site.

hey, I noticed the same. 1 € per credit in germany. I love such news  

And I'm stuck to the USA site.  

Yeah, me too.

how can i change to europe site? 

@Idambies:

What was a credit worth before in the UK?

Thanks, Robert

Ridiculous:

European photographers: 0.83 to 1 current xchange rate= 0.78 (didn't even reach fotolias previsous xchange rate)
Uk photographers: 0.57 to 0.60 - current xchange rate 0.67 (despite the "increase" we are still losing money on the xchange rate)
SO to summarize, Europe went up 20% and we went up 4% ....... when the pound has fallen a lot faster than the Euro against the dollar.

Not happy about this at all

Ridiculous:

Andres,

I noticed you toned down in your complaint about this in FT forum.  Were your maths wrong or did you see something that you had missed before?

I am surprised that so few people are interested in this topic.  The way the payments are handled now is really unfair!

I live in US but most of my Fotolia sales come from European customers. They pay Fotolia Euros for credits.
1 Euro = 1.3 U.S. dollars.
I get 37% as a silver level contributor.
Why do I and many other silver contributors get 37c from European sales if Fotolia gets $1.30 for one credit?

I think everyone should be paid a fair percent of earnings regardless of the currency.

Here is the link to the thread at Fotolia: http://www.fotolia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=14917&p=1

Is there a way to migrate to the EU Fotolia!?

At first I didn't know that we can choose ...

Migrating to another zone doesn't solve the problem. All submitters must be paid a fair percentage of what their pictures were sold for. If a picture was sold for 1 Euro pay us 37% (or whatever the submitters percent is) of that amount, not 37 USA cents.

wait a minute.  I'm at the UK site and I get £0.60 / credit which is $0.88 or €0.69

Do you mean others get $1 or €1 per credit ?

Yes, being in US I get $1 per credit.

Konstantin,

I think we should get the percentage over whatever currency the image is sold.  Unfortunately it has always been like this, it only seems worse now - it seems they decided to use round figures.

I believe FT considers that on average, they pay the same to contributors, the problem being that the average between 80 and 120 is 100.  Let's say, contributor A is in USA, contributor B is in Europe, both receing 35%; each sell 100 credits, distributed among USA and Europe buyers.  Statistically, it is likely that both A and B sell to both US$ and € zones - 50 credits in each currency, let's say.  So FT received US$50+€50 for those 100 credits, either for A's or B's sales, US$100+€100 total, and they have to pay 35% of it, or US$35+€35.  A receives US$35 and B receives €35 - FT didn't get anything extra, only the distribution of earnings is not equal between A and B, even though they earned FT the same.  

The math above implies that roughly the credits sold in each currency is more or less proportional to the sales per member's country of origin.  That is, if FT sells 50% in euros, 10% in pounds and 40% in dollars, they also pay 50% of commissions to euro sites members, 10% to UK site members and 40% to USA site members.  If this is true however, we can not know.
