....... I still see people getting excited about having Vetta acceptances.

Of course! a large/XL vetta sale is equivalent to 6-7 regular sales if you're at 35/40% or even 100 main subscriptions sales ..... add to the fact that Vetta is mirrored to Getty, it can easily save your monthly earnings!! So yes, I'm excited when I've got a new Vetta, yet it doesn't mean I'm having a good month. Actually June is heading to a serious disaster.......
I wonder if image exclusivity is in the talking because as it stands it's seriously unsustainable!!

Hi!

$ has been losing recently to EURO and other European currencies. A question to fellow European contributors - How do you handle this problem? Do you exchange your dollars on Paypal as soon as a payment arrives, or do you wait for better times to make an exchange (then your are not only a stock photographer but also a broker ! ) ?

Not to mention that Paypal steals takes 2,5% from the currency exchange....

I convert $ to £. The exchange rate has been horrendous for the last few months. I withdraw every week or asap from paypal to my account. I don't think I'm loosing that much over the year.
Paypal charges are relatively good money for the service they provide. After all they are a Business like we all are :-) and  i get the £££ in 2 hours into my account, it used to be 3-4 business day.
