Well, having uploaded my first picture to IS on Feb 5th, I've now got my first EL overnight, generating a commission of $10.

Although nice to have the $10, it is somewhat galling that someone now has the right to print 500,000 copies of my picture and all I get for my hard work is a measly $10.

Still, I suppose that without IS I would not be selling pictures anyway.

You do realize that the standard license is 500,000 copies.

Obviously the OP did not realize this. It's always amazing to me that people agree to terms without having a clue what they are.

It is possible to opt out of EL at istock. However, as yingyang pointed out, the standard license is 500,000 copies per usage (and the image may be used multiple times from a single purchase).

Well, that's an education....

Glad to learn new stuff here.
