CM photo Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'm completely confused by the fees obtained through Personal Use. Today I had a sale for $11.19. It was for the same image that sold last month for $9.81 (C3X54M), a bit of a coincidence in itself. I don't have a problem with low fees for this type of use as long as they're honestly applied but I fail to see how the prices were arrived at. In the UK the fee is £11.99. I don't know what it is in the US but it clearly wouldn't be either $9.81 or $11.19. Perhaps it's a sale from another country - it would help greatly if this information was applied to the sale rather than the generic "Worldwide". Or perhaps I'm missing something? I'm hoping someone can educate me. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It accounts for five of mine the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM photo Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Thanks all - it goes some way to explaining the discrepancy. Kay - you could be right. In fact I think the whole stock industry is using a discount code . Philippe, it seems that living in the Euro-zone entitles you to lower prices than in the UK (€9.99 against £11.99). Strange.

CM photo Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 OK, it gets curiouser. The sale with the lower price has refunded! A pointless exercise, as far as I can see, for the sake of $1.28! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you would then ask why someone would want 100 images for personal use. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
