Low commsion for each sale (�0.20). No bestseller of mine uploaded there.
Bestseller images only for "fair" agencys. Less sales but easy upload.

When I went independent a few months ago I had Colourbox on my list of potential agencies.  They looked professional and seemed to be able to demonstrate fast growth.  I started to upload there but quickly became disillusioned due to very low sales and commissions.  I decided to search the internet to see if I could find some financial information about them, and found their official accounts from 2012/13.  Yes, they have grown fast, about doubling from the year before, but their overall gross revenue is very small - somewhere in the region of 4 million Euros (that's for 2012).  They have assets of less than 1 million Euros.  Although they are well respected, they are very, very small.

On reflection, their commissions payable to suppliers are way too small, at 20% for credit sales and 20 Euro cents for subs.  That's actually insultingly small for such a small operation with low sales, and much less than most medium size operations pay (such as 123, Big, DP etc).

Following my research, and the realisation that they have very low sales I stopped uploading and I'll most likely close my account.

They are well respected, honest, professional, and growing fast.  But sales are still very low and the low commissions they offer are really quite insulting.

They might of course become much larger in the years ahead, but if they succeed bear in mind they'll have done so by paying amongst the lowest commissions in the business.  Not something I want to support.

Horrible commissions. Low sales. Bad conditions overall. Most top contributors do no contribute to them and that is for a good reason. It is NOT a well respected agency by most accounts.

Everything, but where is the royalty plan?

Saw this link. Will not bother to upload, thank you

99% of the sales are 0,20 � = 0,22 $! The amount of sales is about 50 times less than SS!

I support low earners but with at least 40% contributor royalties and much bigger subscription royalties!
