Title: Extended License Earnings
Post by: Allsa on June 13, 2011, 20:51
So far this month I've sold 3 extended licenses on IS. Two of them only paid a paltry $6.06! How is that possible? ???

If there's an extended legal guarantee, you get nothing from that, so you'd only have the royalty from the image license itself. Could that be it?

I only had 2 ELīs at IS and they were in December 2009 for 20$ and 40$.. 6$ is an EL at FT, * I love stock :)

in which a contributor says:
"I had a same "glitch" few days ago when I received only $14.40 for 100 credits EL. Support told that there is a some problem with EL's and they should fix it and pay us the rest."
Strangely, however, the original post has apparently disappeared or 'been disappeared', and I can only see the post quoted in someone else's post.

I received the same exact amount for an EL sold on June 2nd.  Great...yet another glitch to wait on for them to fix.   ::)

I'm getting so disgusted with IS, the rip-offs never end.

They could make a lot more money selling more EL's.  I sell much more with SS, never really understood why istock can't get more of their customers to use EL's.

Yes, I wrote to istock because I've sold an extended video license for 8$ instead of 40 !!! Some other guys said the "agency" answer there's a glitch in the system. I think istock itself become a glitch these times.

To be honest, the 'glitch' is your best hope. Other people have been getting the cut and paste 'old credits' answer, others have been getting the 'discounts' answer. At least with 'glitch', there's a good chance you'll get your correct payment eventually.
