My images will be printed in hundreds of thousands of copies, all for several $
What a crap

Yep. I forgot to celebrate my $3 footage sale :-)

Holy Bat Shite Batman !!!!!! .... LOL sounds like you need to go in there and adjust a bunch of EL prices pronto. but don't feel bad .. I had the same thing happen awhile back on some of the older images I submitted way back in the day. I was so irritated at myself.

Instead of going one by one
you can e-mail support and ask them to change EL prices an all your images.
They will do it for you

Now you're good for future sales.

It's not smart to allow EL pricing below $40 or $50. It shouldn't even be possible to offer it that low...
No idea what the plan was behind that.

I did not know the extended license prices drop over time. I wrote support asking for the prices to be raised back to 50 credits. I started adjusting them one at a time... it would of been quite time consuming. Glad I'm part of this forum. Thanks

fotografer · « **Reply #9 on:** February 05, 2010, 03:20 »

Actually if you go further with them you can sell ELs for 200 credits giving you over 70$ per EL which is the most I get from any site.

The biggest I've had at IS was a 250 credit EL which netted me $135. Amounts vary as the per-credit price varies, and not all ELs are 250 credits...YMMV

fotografer · « **Reply #11 on:** February 05, 2010, 03:34 »

Nice, I don't think that I have ever reached 50$ from an EL sale at IS.

good you set the prices up. I have all my extended license prices at the highest amount. it is very nice to get those bonus' from time to time

borg · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2010, 06:57 »

I haven't had any sales on FT for a 3 days, but my 7 day rank dropping down...

So that is mean that in average is very low there of everone, if my status getting better without sales...

Yea but that mean start before 2005 and wait 4 or 5 years to reach a higher canister. Lower canister do get absolutely nothing for their pictures. Only you, with high RPM gauge get something at Fotolia.

Back when I was with them, I couldn't change any prices. Got 1-2-3-4-5-6 credits and at the end 60% of subs... 20 credits for a extended which I was getting around 6$

ouchie · « **Reply #15 on:** February 05, 2010, 09:48 »

i went into edit data for a pic and canot change the price.

it gives me a message, price is too high.

it is set at 20$.

BTW:i sold my first ever el last month and got $6.00 ~~~ this month they took it away due to c/c not cleared!

Anyway i guess being new im capped at $20 sale price for el?

White members are capped at 20$

Only after bronze you can put it at 40.

Great information here! Thank you from a newbie!

just recently i got an EL for a vector file,
and it was for 50 credits. when i checked
the price table, i saw that vector EL is
80 credits. (I am a bronze).

http://us.fotolia.com/Info/Contributors/Nonexclusivity

and i didnt earn the 28% too, i don't know
how this works. i have written to support,
let's see if they respond.

this is only available to those members with 100 dl+, on the pager where you submit the image info.

Also subscription sales do not count one-for-one towards the 100 DL mark. Sub sales only count 1 for every 4 sales ...

I just sold my first EL for 20 credits and got $6 something, but I noticed that current uploads are automatically defaulted to 50 credits for an EL. Did anyone find any way to change all the previous uploads from 20 to 50 besides going to each file in turn and modifying the field?

Yes, just write support and ask. They'll change them all in a day or two.

borg · « **Reply #26 on:** March 03, 2010, 11:42 »

I sold one of my files for 8 credits, if we count 1 credit= 1,2$ that mean it was sold for 9,6$
I got 1,57$ because US tax(30%),usually is 2,24$

So: 1,57/9,6*100=16,35%

I am getting only 16,35 % of whole sale amount...

I will die young because of that...

$:-\$

We contributors, should finally think a little about everything,,,

mtkang · « **Reply #27 on:** July 11, 2010, 02:05 »

can anyone explain more of this price issue? do we need to edit something so we don't get paid low price for enhanced license? what price you set? shutterstock is $28 i think.

Dook · « **Reply #28 on:** July 11, 2010, 03:21 »

Contact support, they will do it for you.
Prices are set to maximum value, but while you were white level that means 20, and when you became bronze (the max price is 50 now) the old files stay the same. I think it would be easier if they come up with some kind of software for this. Many contributors don't even know about this.

borg · « **Reply #29 on:** August 16, 2010, 06:25 »

All my EL prices on FT are 20 credits... How to change all on maximum...?

I tried to put on 50 (10-50) but after update and refreshing picture page, EL price was again 20 credits....

I dont know if photos and vector have different EL prices, but the max for me, with vectors, is 80

mtkang · « **Reply #31 on:** August 16, 2010, 07:48 »

i saw my vector extended license is 40 credits, i will get 25% that's 10 credits
my photo extended license is 20 credits, i will get 5 credits.

that's mean i will get $10 for vector, $5 for photos for EL?

I am still under 100 downloads, so i don't see how can i change it to higher price.

just realise the amount of EL is much lower to most website.

Write to the support and ask them to set it to 50 for all your files. And even then, it may look like it's only 20, but it just looks like that to you. For buyers it will be 50.
But when you upload new images you have to add it manually for every uploaded image.
