Title: Photo+ commission reduced
Post by: eliastheGreek on August 27, 2012, 08:55

Hi everyone,

I noticed that since the end of July, my iS commission on P+ files has dropped from about 3.6$ for L size to 2.6$ and for M size respectively. I sent an email and they responded that it is normal but without stating if there is a drop in commission or the prices have fallen in general. I'm pretty sad about that since it means less earnings.

Prices went down, not royalty percentages.

Nowadays they drop and raise prices or credit values randomly and without any announcement. I guess they're testing to see what the optimum values are. You'd think it must confuse/annoy the buyers no end.
