As I mentioned in another thread, I opted out of ELs after the royalty change and earlier had turned down customer support when they offered to process a $22 EL for me.

Today I received another e-mail from support, but this was for $40 royalty, so I said that was fine to process (I'm still opted out; they just process one sale). I then got an e-mail saying the customer wanted another image as well, same $40.

So this seems to work OK for me: if it's below $28 the answer is no; if it's $28 or higher I'll let the sale go ahead. I might miss out on some if a customer doesn't want to bother contacting SS to ask, but I'm OK with that.

I opted out in late January when many of us did, I opted back in some time in February (yes, I'm sorry I gave up) but never seen an EL nor a big single since then..

Some were reporting more ELs after SS dropped the fixed commission, wondering how it is with ELs these days..

It's good to hear that support still contacts contributors if an EL is requested by the customer. That way you can indeed decide whether or not to accept an offer.
I thought the option to buy EL's would be removed completely when I opted out.

I'm doing this strategy as well! I wait for an email and see if it is worth it. I'm still opted out of EL's. I want to make a point that they cannot keep lowering our earnings.
