I'm comparing licenses between different agencies. While we get higher commissions for extra value licenses from Shutterstock and Pond5, do we get extra commissions from Videoblocks too? Their pricing chart shows customers have to pay $5,000 per year up front to them for Enterprise License, but I've never seen extra commission on my sales like in SS and P5 occasionally.

This may be a bad deal for us. If we don't get any $$ for higher value licenses.

OK nobody cares?

Without diving into the details, as far as I know, VB offers the Enterprise program in which case those Enterprise customers can download the "member library collection" videos and images at no additional cost (these are the assets that VB secured through special agreements with certain contributors). You wouldn't see commissions on these -- if you're in this program you would know, and as I understand it, you'd be paid up front. If Enterprise customers or anyone else buys your video or image in the "marketplace" you'd get 100% of the sale. After Aug 1 that drops to 50%. Yay.

What he said. The short version is that this has nothing to do with marketplace sales, only their membership subscriptions.

Do the members get treated better than the contributors in the marketplace? How do you become a member

Just pay the subscription fee.
