Quoteso in fact I believe we should give it a go

Okay go on. Let's show every agency that we are ok with cutting commission to 17%.

It is good that you are open for discussion. Thanks.
I see problem not in overall prices, but in author's commission.

QuoteOur system today doesn't allow for a percentage cut on image deals, but we will try to tweak the fixed price to reach an average percent

I think an average percent looks like average temperature of patients in hospital.
You have good price for large packages, but I'm sure that 100 and 500 image packages will be extremely rare purchase. They are expensive and make good income, but rare. Commission for small packages still quite low.
For Mid and High resolution 10, 25 and 50 packages will be the most popular and they give 17%, 20%, 25.25% percents for author. Everything that goes below 25% makes me sad.
I think it can only be fixed by using fixed price for each package, not for whole category.
Same thoughts for small size - price for first 2 packages can be little higher, for example:  0.25$, 0.22$, 0.2$, 0.2$

NO! By accepting this offer now, you are hurting yourself and industry. Problem is not a low income, but in low percent. When they sell 5 Mid-res, they receive 5.80 and give you 0.65. That is 11.2% and extremely low.
Dreamstime and 123rf sell credits, and price of credit is determined by amount of purchased credits. And author receives revenue, based on credit price for every case.
Buy YAY will pay you lowest price, instead of making fixed 35% of price, for example.

It varies according the the size of the deal, but average is 35 % which is still above most of our competitors.

Please explain, how do you get 35%. If I try to calculate percents for budget images deals, I receive average 25.8% for small, and about 22.8% for Medium and Large?
