2 dollar for an EL says it all.

Well the 2 dollar sales (the amount I receive) are extremely rare, about 5% of my sales. This is for small size.
I avarage $5 per sale. This is not what I would like to get for an EL, that's true, but at least it's not for the full resolution.

can't find those sales, isn't the lowest price 7.99$?

at 50% royalties should be 3.99$

Every sale is an EL, that's their unique selling point. Which is great for buyers, but not so much for us since every sale gets typical RF pricing and not EL pricing.

At PhotoDune I opt out of their ELs because they are insane prices for the rights being offered - but it's great that they offer an opt out so I have that choice.

The argument Solid Stock Art offers that buyers would just use the images anyway holds about as much water as all the blather we're hearing from Getty in the last few days about combating piracy by giving images away.

Given how long Solid Stock Art has been around and how little chatter there has been about them, I'm assuming they haven't found much of a market, so even if they offered an opt out it wouldn't be all that interesting. I'd probably go finish uploading at Pond5 before I uploaded to SSA
