The details are as follows:

Country: Worldwide

Image Size: Any size
Start: 01 November 2019
End: 01 November 2024
Czech Republic, Editorial website, Bulk Discount, Flat Rate
Whether that $3.19 was gross or net, there have been lower (I've been below 70c net)
The key is that 'bulk discount' thing, and all I've had or read about have been to Eastern European buyers.

It's the gross total.

What are the DL numbers for lower end of 2020 targets?

How many DLs are required to get 30%? Do exclusives still get 25% at least?
Well, yes, for iS sales, but of course 20% for Getty sales, which presumably buyers are being pushed towards.

Anyway:
Photos: Default - 25%;  30% - 800;  35% - 8,500;  40% - 34,500;  45% - 515,000
Illos:    Default - 30%;                     35% - 7200;   40% - 26,000;  45% - 172,000
Videos: Default - 25%;  30% - 300;  35% - 2,000;  40% -  4,600;    45% -  35,000

Thanks! You are always doing due diligence for others. I apologize for being lazy. :)
Didn't you get the email?
I've opted out of custom briefs etc, but still got this one, which is fair enough.

Yes, I got the email. But it requires me to log in. I am too lazy to look for password.  ;)

I forget how to log into GI.

People working in sweat shops don't have to tell you why. It's not fair to ask them to defend themselves. Anyone has a reason to do what they have to do.

Like Sue said, even though I get a higher % at Alamy, my earnings are much lower. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying GI is an angel.

131
My video clips also sell very few at Adobe, comparing to P5 and SS. It's also true that my port is a lot smaller and I joined Adobe a lot later after P5 and SS.

132
Based on Kellie's email, it proves that Zazzle has no intention to pay me at all.

I feel that I am so hijacked by this company.

133
This shows you how Zazzle is going in circles and finding every excuse not to make the final payment.

Quote:
If you are happy to pay the current tax rate, all you need to do is request payment at the following link:


https://www.zazzle.com/my/earnings/paymentsettings


You have not been paid as you have not reached the default limit of $50 for an auto payout. Please note there will also be a fee for selected the payment option under the threshold of $50.


I hope this resolves your query, if you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to reply directly to this email and I will be happy to assist you further.


Kind regards,


Let us know how we did.

Another one!!

I received another Zazzle sales email, even though I thought I had deleted my contents, and Peter told me that all my contents were deactivated at least over a month ago!

135
Wow, today, Zazzle support comes up with a new one!

Kellie (of Zazzle Support) said: "Unfortunately, there is no way (bold added) for us to release payment until you upload an updated W8-BEN form, until then, the funds will remain on your account."

First I don't think my W8-BEN is missing because it was updated at the beginning of each year. Second, without W8-BEN, Zazzle can simply keep the withholding tax and pay me the rest.

Would you still say this company is honest and honorable?

136
M, a Zazzle support person wrote back, saying that I could not log into my account because my browser is not compatible and an update of my browser is needed.

That's likely BS because I was able to log in a month ago. Peter, the first support person had said that I would be paid in the next payment cycle.

It's just a simple last payment. A honest and honorable company will make it simple and easy, would you say?

137
Well, Peter did not honor his words.

After one month, I emailed Zazzle support, asking again for payment.

A message from Mateusz of Zazzle Support, said, because I was asking for an early payment, I had to log in to my account and make the request.

I did. My account is blank. Nothing is there.

Is Zazzle honest and honorable?

It's only $46!

Has anyone else noticed that Alamy has changed its payment date? I remember I used to receive payment in Paypal in the first week of the month. Now it claims to pay us within 9 working days of the month. Today is the 9th, and the payment has not arrived in Paypal yet.

Alamy should really help its starving contributors more.

Not bad for August. I can't see any refunds.

Can you see refunds from DM?

I did the same thing, and they did pay me the final payment. So hopefully they will send you yours.

Cathy, thanks for sharing your experience. Peter wrote back and said that they would pay, but because the amount is less than $50, they will deduct $2.50 transaction fee. That's fine with me.

143
I got an email from Zazzle a few weeks ago, claiming it would charge me a fee to keep my account open because I did not post any new contents in 15 (?) months. However, I actually had sales during this period.

I wrote back to various Zazzle email accounts, asking for a termination and payment of the balance which is close to $50. No response. Yesterday I sent the termination request again through their site mail.

Today I received an email from Peter, their support person, which has acknowledged my termination request. But he did not say anything about the money.

I remember when I closed my accounts with other sites, they always paid the remaining balance.

What will happen to my money? (Of course I have emailed Peter and am waiting for his response.)

i requested to delete my port...they put it in queue to be delated...doesn't it take more that a click to delete a port?? i suspect this agency wants to trick us once again...
i'll delete it manually one by one...

They must have received a lot of termination requests. I sent my request as soon as I got the membership email. My port was deleted the next day.  ;D

Gannet77, thanks again!

Ok, I can see how many video clips were sold, but which one?

Thanks again!

If you've clicked on the bit of the circle for the videos (you can also click on the "Creative Video" text in the middle of the circle), then scroll down to below the bar charts and it will be showing thumbnails for all clips sold during whatever period you selected.

Hi Gannet77, thanks for the reply!

Which tab is for "file tape"? Sorry for being so ignorant.

I only have a few video clips with iStock, that's why I did not pay much attention. However, they seem to sell often somehow.

I am surprised that July was the best month for 2019.

Could someone please tell me how I can tell which video clips were sold through DM? Thanks!

Go to the "Statistics", then click on the appropriate colour (on mine it's pink) in the second circle which by default is "File Type".

Then scroll down to see the videos sold.

If you want a specific month, click on the month you want in the list on the left.

Since I got the invitation for the selected few, I stopped uploading. I am glad I did not waste more of my time.
