Payoneer / Re: Payoneer charged me 85 USD and they don't know why« on: October 05, 2018, 04:10 »
They call it Inactivity fee ($3) and that's the reason I won't use Payoneer in the future.
"20.1 A monthly inactivity fee may be collected if no transactions and no payments have been allocated to Your Card in the last thirty (30) days. If the inactivity fee is assessed, the charge will be recurring each month, unless funds are added and as long as the balance on the Card is more than zero." 104
Adobe Stock / Re: Inaccurate Data showing at FT« on: October 03, 2018, 09:17 »Same here, since they increased the minimum royalties my sale goes down...Also my FT rank... Very strange... Same here. I wrote on the other thread they became my favorite agency, but I'm not so sure now! 105

123RF / Re: 25/9 no sales?« on: October 02, 2018, 02:31 »
Maybe they are struggling but 40% less earnings compared to the previous year is ridiculous.
When they made royalties cut they promised 50% increase and what's happening now? Next month I will drop down from level 3 and will remove my portfolio! 107
Shutterstock.com / Re: Has Shutterstock returned to normal for you?« on: September 27, 2018, 03:39 »Because our exposure is controlled, changing on the 15th of every month without fail.I don't know about that and I don't want to use any words that will "trigger" some, but I make the same every month regardless of fluctuations within the month itself. If I don't upload for months, same. If I upload a few hundred, same. My numbers for July and August (both 31 days) are suspiciously similar with less than $1 difference (about $800 month). 108

Thank you!

iStockPhoto.com / Re: August Numbers« on: September 21, 2018, 03:46 »Just amazed a coorporation such as Getty can't fufill its obligations to its contributors and fails to deliver OUR earnings at THEIR designated timeframes - afterall we are their bread and butter no? Maybe getting 85% is not enough for them to do things properly. 110

They want us on the lowest contributor level

GLStock / Re: GL Stock Seriously??« on: August 04, 2018, 02:54 »
Bring back the different prices for different image sizes. GL lost most of it's customers who don't need big size images.

123RF / Re: Do you make $100/month at 123RF?« on: July 02, 2018, 07:31 »
More than 30% less for June compared to the previous 3 months. Still over $100 but they've changed something and I don't like it. If I fall beneath my current level I will remove my portfolio! I'm tired of their commission cuts and empty promises!

DepositPhotos / Re: Photo sales compared to Shutterstock« on: June 19, 2018, 16:24 »Plus DepositPhotos is a shady agency with questionable ethics. What makes you so sure? I don't trust them at all and I don't upload there anymore! But for example On demand XL sale paying Silver contributor just $0,32!? What the f**k is this? 115
New Sites - General / Re: Zoonar earnings?« on: May 28, 2018, 10:58 »
They are the middleman you don't need. I'm still waiting for my images to be removed. Waste of time and effort.
116
So Canva removed 80% of my approved images and now they'll get tons of similar "unwanted" images through IS. Few years ago they decided to remove a lot of previously approved images, because they don't need them anymore! Even images with a lot of sales have been deleted! It was not just me, many contributors complained about it here on MSG. 118
Adobe Stock / Re: what are "Subscription X" downloads?« on: March 16, 2018, 12:21 »EL on Adobe is 50 credits no matter what price you put on FT. You get 33% of 50 = 16.5 - 30% tax = 11.55. Hmm, I just checked and the EL price really is 79.99. I'm pretty sure there was some info about the 50 credits EL price but can't find it right now. The price of these sales is obviously 50 credits. Last week I had 3 of those sales 16.5 - 5% tax = 15.68 119
Adobe Stock / Re: what are "Subscription X" downloads?« on: March 16, 2018, 11:39 »question to Mat:This is not a normal extended license. Check your stat again and you will see that the buyer downloaded the same image 3 times (I don't know why). EL on Adobe is 50 credits no matter what price you put on FT. You get 33% of 50 = 16.5 - 30% tax = 11.55. 120
123RF / Re: 123rf reducing commissions« on: February 02, 2018, 18:40 »I assume it is this now from what people are saying. I think the new levels are: 0 999 Level 1 30% $0.216 1,000 4,999 Level 2 40% $0.288 There's no winners among contributors! I'm on level 3 now and will keep the same commissions, but won't upload new images because I hate greedy agencies. 121
VideoBlocks / Re: SB tries the 'ole "partner sales" game« on: January 24, 2018, 16:04 »
I'm definitely opt-out!
I was very suspicious from the beginning of SB because of the Graphicstocks policy. They already started with the bulls***s. I don't expect nothing good from them and even plan to remove my portfolio! 122
CanStockPhoto.com / Re: canstock is so strict on their photos review!« on: January 05, 2018, 14:21 »
They rejected many of my images for wrong keywords in the last year or so. But I have about 99% acceptance rate on more than 20 agencies. So nothing's wrong with my keywords, which BTW I'm choosing very carefully. If they think I will keyword my images differently especially for them, they are out of their mind. And on top of this they still pay me $0.25 for subs after 6000 sales. What a joke!

Selling all image sizes for the same price is their biggest mistake IMO.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Canadian - Withdraw in Canadian bank (in US)« on: October 18, 2017, 17:21 »This thread is quite old but it's the most recent about the problem with Paypal's automatic currency conversion. So for 10 years Paypal were happy to serve me for $2.50 on every $500 I withdraw and now they decided it's not enough and they should take 7 times more?! I don't care if you want to give them your money, but I won't give them mine! |
