It was a nice one too, except for the cut from 60% to 50%. Sigh. Must all sites do this?
We get it ... -snip- ... we are lazy, incompetent, greedy or uncaring. Rebecca Rockafellar for Istock HQ

Funny thing is I had two in January (2nd and 3rd) that were still the 60% ones. Just today got the first 50/50 cut.

The commission rate changed on the 5th Jan, I think.

Yes, 5th Jan.
One of my old sales found by me and reported to them luckily got in on the 4th.
I have an outstanding one, well over a year old, found by me and reported to them not showing up yet. I wrote to MS suggesting it would only be fair if it went in at 60% as I did the donkey work of finding it in use and notified them in early December.
It's a newspaper scheme sale, and a repeat use, but still ...
We shall see.

What percentage  does REC skim off over and above Alamy's 50%?
