Looks like a few microstock shooters have found out about their images appearing in a low budget stock easyfotostock by an agency called Kalium.

Please check and see whether your images are there.

So this again raises for me the question - how much do we get paid if this site sells our Veer image? Take a look at the prices they're charging in the screen capture below.

If I sell an XL image directly through Veer (as an example) I receive $5.25 royalty on the 15 credits or $22 the buyer pays. The sizes on easyFotostock don't really match up (even the aspect ratio is wrong given the original) but the closest seems to be the 8 x 11 for $70. Do I still get $5.25 for that even though they're selling it for more than three times the price?

Veer never answered these questions when they came up in the Alamy train wreck. Did anyone ever get any information from Veer support about how contributors are compensated for these sales (if there are any) and how we would know in our Dashboard (when it works) that a sale was through a partner?

And then many of us feel "weird" uploading and selling our microstock stuff directly through Alamy... 

I decided I should have another look at the Veer Contributor agreement to see what it said about sales through partners. If I read it right, they get to pay us on the basis of a royalty per credit, regardless of how the customer actually paid.

See section IV. Payment and Reporting, in particular paragraph E

If that's what they really are doing - selling through a distributor for $70 and compensating me for a 15 credit sale at $5.25, with no indicator in my sales records on which site a sale was made - I think I just need to collect my payment for this month on the 15th of October and have them close my account. They might not be selling any - and how would I know? - but that's just a disgrace. A complete rip-off of contributors - a royalty of 7.5% of the sale!

If they'd like to offer an opt out of all partner sales, I can live with sales via their own site only (even though they would make out should a cash sale get made with their compensation scheme). Looking at the posted credit prices (which may or may not be the only available prices to large customers), it's a minimum of 78 cents and maximum of $1.41 per credit to the buyer. Looking at my royalty on a 20 credit sale, it's a minimum of 24.8% and maximum of 44.8% which is acceptable to me.

Remember that they will be getting only a proportion of the price of that sale, maybe 40% of it, so if they are paying you $5.25 it could be close to 20% of their take. From what I can make of their subscriptions pricing, it seems to be designed to pay between 12% and 20% in commissions (when you take account of the fact that there are probably at least two days in seven when no downloads are made, in which case Veer keeps all the cash from expiring credits).
