..but they would still be buying the image with a Royalty Free non-exclusive licence?

Yes. Moreover AYCS only sells as RF non-exclusive.

I'm interested in giving this site a go but don't fully understand the Membership Agreement.

I've got that my images will be Royalty Free and non-exclusive, which is what I want because I submit to several sites but, despite reading it several times, I'm really not clear what the 'Call for Offers' bit actually means. 

Can someone please explain this to me? 

Clients can post an specific content "request" for a period of time. Contributors can apply own photos for a cal ( more than one image ). On the end, client buy it ( don't know if obliged to buy at least one of the images "suggested" )

Registered on 11/12/2011. 3 Sales ( 18$ ) with 300 files... better than some "low earners" where I can't get any sale with +500 files...

Someone can explain me why I get a different commission , each time I sold a XXL TIFF:

October 2011: I got 2.5$ for one , and 4,35$ for other ( Same size .. 4500px x 3000px )

Today, I sold one and got 3,04$ ( 5226 x 3485 px )

....

Then i decide too look careful for other sizes, and it appears that almost files sold i got 30%. ( 2011 )

Note: I hit more than 150 files and 10 paid downloads before 2012. I opt-in PP Program.

Hey CoisaX,

The Price/Credits solely depends on the packages that our clients purchased.

For example:
1) Client bought a $15 package.
    Package Price: $15
    Credit Received: 15 Credits
    Price/Credits: $1
    After 50% sharing profit, Price/Credit: $0.50

2) Client bought a $100 package
    Package Price: $100
    Credit Received: 115 Credits
    Price/Credits: $0.87
    After 50% sharing profit, Price/Credit: $0.435

And, we share 50% of our revenue with our contributors. This include any discount given to our clients.

Hope this information helps.


Cheers,
Anglee

I understand it after read what luissantos84 said.

Thanks for the reply

edit by admin: fixed Anglee's info at her request.

this have been discussed here before and more than once I guess, I believe it´s like IS, DT and other, it depends on the price a buyer got credits or discounts (and perhaps partners too), the bigger purchase the less we will get

Thanks for the reply.

I need to pay more attention to those situations, because, to be truth, I thought that at 123RF we won't "loose" over client discounts ( probably is something common on stock business... I just forgot to read the entire manual )

I send an "automatic report" ( a new one ). I'm still getting "error updates" over Istock. Check it.

On "My uploads page" stats are ok, but i think that is something about PP sales.

I've a long list:

- Get 4x more images on portfolio ( this year I get 10x more ). I've planned 2 years for a "nice" portfolio with regular income. 2012 is crucial year for me.
- Work on a RM exclusive portfolio for Alamy.
- Own domain and site for "marketing" propose, and , if worth, for direct sales.
- Get 2nd dslr body ( 1st quarter ). Start having some limitations with 450D.

And probably will leave 2 agencies during first quarter.

Got one 500 Error.. one page reload and was OK again. Network issues for No-US users.. probably.

Working well... last submitted pictures are online and getting sales.

Start getting tired of "PP syncro issues":

- Partner says that is main agency problem.
- Main agency says that are a Partner issue.
- Both want and will solve the problem.

The true is that no one sales month after month.

----------------------------------------------
Is there a particular partner or micro you are having problems with?

One is Yaymicro. Moreover, they add more agencies to API and none of my 540 images appear to be in almost all of them. My hope for Yaymicro was get some sales trough PP ( direct sales is out of question because it seems they don't have any clients/traffic... ).

No problem for me.  I sometimes use this site to see if its just me having problems.
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Thanks!

I work with different ISP's, ( work and home ) and none work. Will send a email to duncan.

Since yesterday I can't enter ( got reirected to "Www.canstockphotonull/myaccount.php" ). Some DNS issue?

- It should save login.
- Not accepted images should be deleted automatically.
- Too soon for Referral Program?

- Tax form : Check
- Editorial Stuff: All my stuff submitted and approved - Check

2 Sales since 20/10/2011: Not so bad as expected ( for my port )

25 files since 28/11.

But then I look for PM and Veer and feel a little better  ( moreover when i decide to change categories on some PM files and they return to queue.. :S )

Probably this delay is about people trying hit 150 files online...

Now i'll only re-submit those accepted and with at least 1/2 sales on others agencies ( for LCV rejections ), with a note for reviewers.

A image being "just accepted" by some agency, doesn't means that its good for all others.

After think about it, I decide sent a email, in Portuguese ( site and host are Brazilian ) and today I got a reply :

"Good morning, have removed all images from your site.
My site only shows the images on google, I'm fixing to not show your images.
Att Joe."

Somehow interesting that "fix".... Let's see.

I also used Microbius's very helpful step by step (http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/warning-lots-of-stolen-images-www-trollada-com/25/)  to report to Google adds, but 48 hours later, still no reaction from them....

I think they haven't Google Ads...

But they are at US Server , and they "usually" respect DMCA warning.

They have 2 images from my Flickr gallery.. hmmm ( None at sale @ Stock )

Funny Page: http://www.sportydesktops.com/dmca-disclaimer.html

(DMCA sent anyway for both.. I've plenty time)

independent, photos only.  No ELs, p+ sales at decent sizes seem to have brought the average up - like I say though, my numbers are so small it doesn't mean much - the month before I had 5 times more PP than IS sales, and the money was split about 50/50

Same here. And after see November IS sales, I bet that i will have 80/20 for PP/IS.

I've corrected my post above to make it a bit clearer. What I mean is that I don't think it has any of our images on the site, I think it pulls them from the web in general when you search.

You right. Searching my name + "Flickr"  I notice that, other's photos, marked as "favorite", appear on results too.

Is likely "torrent schema sites": they don't have any content, just little files without sense.
