To be fair - Fotolia pays to contributors still same amount regardless of credit package that buyers bought (it's less than promised with small packages but it's for example 37.77% - instead of "bronze" 23% - with 7000 credit package with payout in EUR).
DT's maths scares me more.

come on! who gets 7k credits?

You're right, not many bloggers I guess. But I'm glad that I don't have any 0,08 sales on FT.

I just poked around with the calculator a bit. I didn't know you got less on DT if you were a referred contributor although I thought they skimmed for referred buyers - both should come out of DT's take as a marketing cost.

I also was unable to get anywhere near as low as my lowest sales or credit amounts on IS - I suppose they would say it was due to "old credits" or something like that.

Still any effort to shed some light on these somewhat underhanded agency tactics is worthwhile.

I also notice he says IS rounds up to the nearest cent. I remember reading differently (unofficially), so I wonder what is correct.

Although it can be confusing sometimes it is nice the way Alamy reports the sale amount and any deductions. I think if all the sites reported sales like that we would be horrified by how much they are taking out of each sale.

both incredible but we know about that for a long time

the FT paying $ for the European contributors is just over the roof, I am getting more and more sales there, better not to imagine getting paid in EUR
