We have had several discussions about the current value of the U.S. $.

Last night I was looking at buying credits at Istock and they are charging in Canadian dollars.  I haven't purchased there in a long time, but I am quite certain that I paid in U.S. $ the last time I did.

When I log into the new 123 site, it says "buy photos from .25 CDN".

I wondered if it's because I'm at a Canadian IP - but I expect these guys are taking advantage of the Canadian dollar.   (But, of course, my earnings are still marked U.S.$) 

If they are charging in Canadian and paying in U.S., what exchange rate are they giving contributors?  Shoot, first paypal's crappy exchange rate and now agencies!!!

It's because you are at a Canadian IP.

123RF defaults to Australian Dollars for me.

Somehow these people 'know' where the customers and contributors are based.

We buy iStock at work to use and they always charged US dollars even though we are at a Canadian IP address?

I just checked, the last time I purchased the receipt was in U.S. $.
