A couple of weeks ago I started a thread here (http://www.microstockgroup.com/graphicriver/time-to-step-it-up-envato/) and also over at the GR forum requesting that Envato consider raising prices and/or royalties to better compete with alternative marketplaces that offer far better deals.
Today they raised the price of every vector image by $1. And although I'd like to think they did it because of me bringing up the issue, realistically this was probably a planned increase. Regardless of how it happened, it's still a good thing.
The raise isn't huge, not the sort of change I am really looking for over there, but it's a start. I'd really like to see them also bump up royalties, but kicking up prices a bit is a nice first step. And probably the more important one at this point, as their pricing has been ridiculously low on some images. This change positions them more in line with the pricing at other places. Still on the low end, but improving.
