Raise... one of my favorite words.    A nice raise at SS will be very much appreciated.  SS is my highest volume seller.  However, most likely even with a raise  my high dollar sales will still be with IS.

INTERESTING....

a lot of discussions on HOW MUCH will rise?  It's time for bet!

Prognosticated from 5 cents to 1 dollar. In case the rise will be "pleasant surprise" it should be not less than 50 cents, I think. But I doubt about that... More chances it will be differentiated according to sales.

Anyhow, prepare for new "Thank you..." thread ;)

They need to come up with something special, as I now realize we didn't do well with last years raise.

If it's a good raise, I have no problem with that. :)

If it's $0.05, I'd be disappointed.

For European contributors, 50c is the minimum, less is an insult.

My guess is that they will have a more involved tier system.  Something like  30c for people with < 500$ sales,  35c once you reach 500$ and then gradually add 5c on for different tiers, 1000$, 5000$ etc.   I would be quite happy with a system like that as our payrise would depend quite a bit on how much we are willing to put into it.

Yes the  tier system would be nice, I expected a significant raise for the EL which is underpriced I think. Increase of referral bonus as well ? ;D

 :( Oh NO! Number 13 brings bad luck! They could start in Monday for example...  :)

Awesome!  Can't wait to see what it is.  I hope it's better than 5 cents :)

I would be more than a happy with 0.5$ per sale. Below that would be disapointing.
