Are you sure it's 60 USD and not another country's dollar?

Edit: something seems off in the display of these sale prices. Last month I apparently had a "$3,900" sale with $0.38 commission
So either the currency is displayed the wrong way (it used to be other currencies) or the dollar amount is off.

A new low on Pond5: a video listed as $79 gets sold for $7.74....Netting me $3.10

What a joke.

From what I've understood, Fiverr sellers can now directly incorporate images, video and music in their work (in certain gig categories) when a buyer orders their gig by adding 'custom extras' to the order for $x per SS asset*, and these assets will be available ("Powered by Shutterstock") through an integrated search interface (API) on the Fiverr platform. They can also use watermarked versions for preview versions of their work, and upon finalizing the actual license will be purchased.

Basically it's the buyer who pays for the license. I assume Fiverr has a special deal, so my guess is that SS sellers will receive the minimum royalty for each item sold.
Interestingly, Fiverr explains: "If you need to download the asset again, the seller will only have up to 8 hours to do so. After 8 hours from the initial download, sellers will lose the option to access it again, and will need to ask the buyer to repurchase it." So we might receive multiple purchases of the same image due to the 8 hours limit.

The "I will provide stock images" gigs shown in Jo Ann's screenshot are a violation of the Terms of Service (of both Fiverr and Shutterstock) and as such they're not allowed, but some of these slip through the cracks.

*) Fiverr prices:
Images : $2 per image
Music: $3 per track
Video: $5 per video

Not sure how Fiverr or SS intend to handle refunds of Fiverr deliveries. It says: "Once the cancellation is approved, the purchased licenses will not be valid anymore, even if the delivery includes the licensed media assets."
So the buyer gets his money back (including the extra fees paid for the SS assets) and the SS license will no longer be valid, but I assume SS sellers will not get those refunds and Fiverr will pay for the expenses.

Edit:
I'm not sure if this really benefits SS sellers. Most Fiverr sellers who use stock media (in their work, not resellers) already have some sort of subscription (either at SS or another agency), so using the SS API via Fiverr is not beneficial to these sellers. Perhaps the existence of this API makes it easier for all parties to use stock media, and it might incline other Fiverr sellers to upsell their gigs with SS media, so we might see a small boost from that.

But it will certainly become a competitor for vector graphics.

I disagree, vectors will always be more versatile and editable than a raster image.

I've just uploaded a small batch of transparent PNG versions of some old vectors. Although I agree the customer shouldn't be confused or misled by temporary jpeg versions of the PNGs, I think getting in early will indeed be beneficial. But the PNG feature launch should be asap to avoid any angry customers.

I opted out May last year, I just now received a distribution sale of 12 cents, of which I got to keep 3 cents... How can they still sell my stuff through distribution 13/14 months after opt-out? I know Alamy sales often have long payout times, but THIS long?

If you haven't done so already, email them and ask for an explanation.

Their 'explanation':

"Many of our distributors have long lead times and the sale has only just been reported to us. We�ve instructed the distributor that the image is now no longer available for licensing."

Envato is an Australian company, unlike Shutterstock, so a different tax rate applies than the US. Check your country's treaty with Australia.

download is less than the lowest I get on Adobe Stock photo sales.  This is sad.  Majority of my Adobe Stock photo sales are above $1.  I enabled my Shutterstock photo sales this month, but now I worry these parade of dimes on Shutterstock is eating my Adobe Stock photo sales.  Once in a while, Shutterstock has high price sales.  So, I just hope that'll happen soon or I may have to make a decision to turn off my photos on Shutterstock and see if photo sales on Adobe Stock increases.

In my experience, turning off my portfolio on SS (or leaving my work there) didn't affect my sales on Adobe (or any other agency). Different clients, different preferences.

I still have �28 video sales and the occasional �70 sale. Granted, I've seen some cheaper subs of �2,80 or �8,40, but Adobe is still doing okay for me overall.

Strange how they group a few totally unrelated logo's in one bundle: imagine you want to buy Felix the Cat, you also get Star Wars, Hello Kitty, Superman and Studio Ghibli logos. What's the point?

How much content bonus could the average contributor expect? I'm not a contributor there, but does it really make a huge difference?

Only the last two arent showing for me.
