Author Topic: Did Fotolia lowered commisions on subs? (Read 4852 times)

I'm 'silver' at Fotolia and I've just noticed that my subscription earnings went from 29 to 28 and 26 cents. I just checked the FAQ section on pricing and commissions and it clearly says c29 for a non-exclusive contributor. Also some of the normal credit purchases went down to something like 22.5% instead of the generous 25% I should be getting.
It's funny that in 2008 when I started I was getting more per download than I'm getting now being half my way up to gold.

Yeah they cut commissions twice last year so yeah we're all getting lower amounts for subs and less for credit sales too.

Must be a bug or something because my subs sales are 0,28$, down one cent. But every 0,29$ sale is now at 0,28$, even the ones many months ago...

Looks like a glitch. My royalties all say 29 cents under "Files Overview" and 28 cents when I go to the credits page.

The confirmation e-mails say 29 cents and in My Files - Sold Files they are all 28 cents now.

What are the odds that they apologise for the error ... in the e-mails

Good thing is that the earnings are calculated with the 29 cents commission, so I don't think at the moment I'm getting less than I suppose to it just shows up differently on the Sold Files page.
