Hi, first I am a long-term contributor (over 15 years) so know the basics... I have requested payment from Canstockphoto. This time money arrived but Instead of 230 dollars I received just 217USD. Paypal says they deducted transaction fee 12.7 USD. What is this??? I have never had to pay this fee. Is it new? They ask over 3% as a conversion fee and another 5% as a transaction fee??? Does anyone know what is this?

Hi everyone. To dilute heavy Shutterstock topic with one less serious. I am focused on travel photo but often come across one question - does putting capital letters in keywords limit sale potential when buyer spells the word just in lower case letters? Example: I have just been keywording some photos from Barcelona, explicitly Bishops Bridge. When I spell the name in capital letters in keyword field and buyer spells lower case does my picture pop up in search? I mentioned capitals are being shown as phrases among keywords in MS sites. I know I could use lower case in all situations but I simply do not like twisting grammar and sometimes like to copy long and complicated names of places around the world to avoid writing it from scratch.

Hi, as a travel photographer I have just come across a terrible update of copyright law being amended by EU Parliament just now. Now law should be ready in July... Under this update, amendatory clause no 421 to EU directive 2001/29/ES it would be forbidden to publish and sell images taken on public property without a consent of all owners or copyright holders of the properties. This would totally remove freedom of panorama in the whole EU and forbid us selling and publishing photos of architecture, landmarks, cities in Europe... This would probably ruin my microstock business. Thanks EU. Thanks again...

Hi, does anybody have a payment delay with 123RF? I am usually being paid on 15th but this time nothing (and I have exceeded the payout limit of course)... Should I contact support or do you think it is just a general delay of theirs? Thanks

Hi guys, does anyone have any experience with check payment? I am an experienced contributor at Shutterstock (since 2007) but I have allways been paid via Paypal. But Paypal does not allow me to collect USD. The money can only be transferred in my local currency to my bank in the Czech Republic. Now I am planning a trip to USA and I will need dollars. It seems crazy to loose 2% during a Paypal conversion from USD to CZK and than another fee from CZK to USD to get dollars for my USA trip. Check mailed to my address and than taken to the USA where I will collect USD at the US bank seems as solution. Is it safe? I am afraid checks could be lost on the way or something... How long does it take usually? Thanks

Hi guys, I just wonder... One of my friends does not speak English, is a long-time photographer, and wants to try microstock. However, I am not sure which sites allow contributors to upload with German metadata as German is the only international language he speaks. So far I am only sure about Panthermedia. Does any of you know if sites like Shutterstock, Fotolia, etc. allow submitting in German? Thanks

Hi,
has anyone else received such a low share from their P-EL sale? Is this normal? I have just received an info I sold 50 credits P-EL (second level photo) and my share is 5.87 USD, that is 11,74%. This is very, very poor. From what I see in Contributors area, I should get at least 17 USD. But 5.87 USD out of 50? This is crazy... I have posted similar question on Dreamstime forum. But now I am considering opting out for all EL licences on Dreamstime. I feel powerless, can microstocks really do whatever they please?
