Author Topic: Lowest commission on Adobe now 25 cents? (Read 5352 times)

For months and months now the lowest commission I have gotten from Adobe is 29 cents. Today I got a 25 cent commission. Race to the bottom? Discounting and making the contributor pay for it? Has anyone else had this? 😞

I haven't seen that - I just checked a few pages of sales and 31 cents is the lowest I see.

Is it possible that they've somehow messed up your account's status and you're set back to the 25% commission level by mistake? I'd contact support to ask as it might be some sort of error.

The minimum payment of .29 you referenced is based on subscriptions and is determined on your rank.

The commission you noted was a Fotolia based credit sale which is paid a percentage based on your rank and the number of credits the customer used to purchase the file. The customer purchased an XS file for 1 credit. Your rank is silver so your commission % on credits sales is 25%. This has not changed in many years.

Thanks for the explanation Mat. I think it’s a year+ since I have been back to Fotolia/Adobe. If I get one of these once a year, I can’t complain. Most all of my other commissions have been good, so...

Thanks Jo Ann. You are probably at a higher rank than silver, which would explain your 31 cents as opposed to my 25% (25 cents).
