Title: Photo sold for 0.33 cents client had printed
Post by: Phadrea on February 19, 2018, 06:32

I was walking past a local shop in my town and noticed a print on the wall of my image. Having made enquires how they obtained it they tell me it was from Adobe. Looking back at my sales I see the images was purchased for a mere 0.33 cents. Is this fair when the buyer has a print made ?

Fair enough, just wanted to check thanks. Perhaps it's time to take my more picturesque images down from microstock sites.  :-[

I'd say many of your photos are too good, picturesque and artistic for Microstock and that's probably why you don't get the sales you expect. Do you do better on the POD sites? The whole for prints part has changed over the years with small changes in the TOS. It's not just Fotolia. I don't like that more sites allow this, I've stopped allowing prints just by not uploading art and creative. Illegal prints are probably made all the time and we can't see them except by chance.
