Title: How to convert credit to euro?
Post by: Artist on August 27, 2019, 03:14
Is there anyway to convert 1 credit to 1 euro in adobe stock or in fotolia?
I am seeing by default it is taking usd.

If you created your account on the European Fotolia website, you have a Euro account, otherwise you have a Dollar (or other currency) account and as far as I know, there is no way to switch to another currency without creating a new account. Which is a shame because the 1:1 credit conversion for both dollar and euro is completely bonkers. AdobeStock should definitely fix this. 1 credit should equal $1.11, not $1.

There have been multiple topics about this issue, like this one:

I registered in European fotolia and should be eligible for Euro.

This is really sad.
I agree with your point 1 credit should equal $1.11, not $1 or they should standardize the 1 credit = 1 $ for all

I registered in the US and somehow my currency got set to British pounds, no idea how.  I have asked to change it to dollars many times but they say it is impossible, even though you'd think it would be an easy change to make.  Very frustrating.

if 1 credit also equals 1 pound (=$1.22) you should be happy about it.

Unless they have changed it recently due to the fall in the pounds value it is 1 credit = £0.75

Yep, it is  one credit = 0.75 pounds, plus then will have to pay another conversion fee to get it back into dollars where I can spend it.  Wouldn't have complained about it if it was favorable.

I didn't realize the account was in the UK when I set  it up. I live in Spain and being paid in pounds is rubbish, I asked to have it changed and it's not possible. Surely it can't be that difficult?

Of course. It's never about morals and what's right, it's about what benefits me.

We humans are long overdue for an extinction...

What does the payout currency have to do with morals?  All I want is to be paid out in a currency I can use without having to pay extra conversion fees. 

If you think we should all be extinct why are you bothering to write in forums?  You're being stupid.
