I have had some video sales on istock until last year or a little more, and now sales are very very rare.

In august I have had almost only credits sales with a rpd 1.9, this month only subs with rpd 0.75, thank you so much Dreamstime, it's a funny game.

You can not compare SS who includes also "on demand downloads" "single download" and sell pretty well El at 28$ with Depositphotos with its so depressing low subs.
One agency started from subs and has added some creative licenses, the other start with subs and nothing more, nothing exciting...not even the commissions. So, why the creativity has to be only on the photographer side?? And for peanuts???

Ok i will opt out also. Depositphotos, I'm always waiting your answer for opt out in subs who are incredibly low, 30c $ is simply nothing, in Euro it's empty space, do you think our works is so crappy?  Really?? Fotolia was the worst before you come, are you satisfied with your new position of the stingiest agency in the world? I've started to send my new files at only 4mpx, soon i will ask you again to delete all my other files at 12-21mpx.

After my message saying I want them to delete my portfolio because subs prices are by far to low , they ask me not to be angry and they will talk with the manager to see if opt out is possible.
They will answer asap.
Wait and see...

Seems interesting, maybe someone use it already or another similar product?

How are you guys managing to add 2 model releases to photos. For me it always only accepts the first release i add :/
I've alas just one solution: create a new files with the releases attached...

Yes, sorry, for Istock, you have to be sticked as an "exclusive one" to get almost the same royalties, but you can not fix the price, they can do that they want, and they do!

10$ seems to be a good price for most of the cases, 5$ too low for large file. Don't forget the high prices buyers give for pictures at Istock, contributors usually only got 15-20% !!! After all, with Pond 5, you are 100% responsible and you can choose the price higher for some rare pictures, that's simply great! YOU are the seller! Difference between Pond 5 and other agencies is simply like life and death ( I know, death is also a part of life)

I've sold also 5 photos this week for a "at last" fair commission, Pond 5 is simply a perfect agency, I pray for its long life and wish they'll stay fair all along.

I'm contributor with depositphotos only since one month, they contact me and ask me to send photos if i would. I think I've made a big mistake because I send them all my files at high resolution and I see they selling 99% of sub for a ridiculous 30c $ (20c ). That's clear we should never send high resolution files to fotolia or deposit, even in most of the big sites, but 30c is the stingiest ever  I've just send them an email asking for deleting my portfolio as soon as possible. I will maybe send my files again at the smallest resolution they accept.

I've never thought it was a bug too, Fotolia team is the most vicious of all and they never communicate with contributors.

Same here __ way down. My RPD has slipped from $2.40+ a few months ago to just $1.67 this month OK I see, mine was always around 1$ and this month, for the fist time near 2$.

When i read this thread, i wonder why my sales this month are all almost credits and not subscription!!! It's my BME here and the first time things go up since 3 years, I suppose it's a change in the search algorithm, but it's fit exactly for me!

I have also 0 views; don't know if its a glitch or not.

They have now accepted almost 3000 of my files with only 20 rejections. Inspection seems very quick. Just wait some days more.

Countries in South east Asia like Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia... life is at very low cost there...but you could lack of subject and Asian models photos are not selling very well.

I've sent my pictures last week, around 7-8 days ago. Crestock ? What is it?

I noticed lower and lower footage sell on the other sites (fotolia,revostock,shutterstock,istock...) these last months, Pond 5 seems to be the leader now.

Sharpshot, thanks for the advert, yes I'm selling video on Pond 5 too, Did you already tried GLstockimages?

I believe they need to lower the blog/web prices Yeah, somebody already talk about that on the pond5 forum, just changing the quota and all done!!! Can't wait to see the selling at pond 5, if they doing well, sellers can start to leave the unfair agencies, almost all!

Please, read the entire post before asking questions The default is $1 but it's too low: you'll get an error message if you try to submit. It must be at least $2.
We are setting the price for the maximum picture size; price for smaller sizes will be automatically scaled.
