Title: Shutterstock - $0.08 downloads in Single & Other???
Post by: topol on November 13, 2015, 14:45
Just what the subject says - got a bunch of those today. WTH?? I was under the impression the lowest royalty is the $0.38 for the subs. (after 10000 tier of course)

These are obviously compensations for those recent FB SODs accidentally sold under the minimum agreed subscription amount: $0.38-$0.30 = $0.08

Thanks for the info. I guess that comes from SS headq.

Lol! Nope! It only comes from me :)
Check your previous $0.30 FB SODs and will notice the same photos brought you $0.08 additionally, today.

Let's all hail the power of logic: actually you were spot on

The two I got today for 8 cents matched up to two images I got paid 30 cents for on November 3rd. There are other days that got 30 cent downloads, so I'm waiting for those to show up.

This really isn't an ideal way to make the fix - although I do appreciate getting the error corrected. They need more detailed reporting for payments...

Maybe they could add a new payment category - Corrections/Adjustments

So I checked again, and they have added 8 cents for a 30 cent download on Saturday. Small wrinkle is that the same image earlier today got a "real" SOD for $21.00. Right now I see that it has 2 today for $21.08

If I hadn't just happened to see the earlier display, I would have no way of knowing how that 21.08 broke down. If I look at the list sorted by SODs I just see a total for that image.

It's fine to give an amount and a volume when all sales are the same value - like subscriptions. But they should not lump together things of different royalty amounts - SOD and on demand need to be itemized somewhere.

Got an .08 today too. It's got to be a correction of sorts. The image doesn't even show on the "world" map.

It's a correction for those facebook SOD's earlier in the month when we got less than the sub commission.

If you check your total sales numbers for the day, you'll see that these low-value 'compensation' SODs are not added to your number total but only to your money total (which is logical as the sale was already made some days ago).
