I've had one too and the total is probably the cumulative royalties in Q1 for the photo based on multiple POD sales, rather than a one off sale.

Same for me but you have fared better with the prices. The one I got went for a measly $3.28 gross.☹️

Like you I’m left wondering about the price disparities between sales with identical usage details.

I had one yesterday - of a church in an obscure town in Hungary. I can't imagine there is a huge demand for posters but it was $35 for the first quarter of the year. It seems the amount paid for each image depends on how many customers demanded a print.

This looks like a potentially promising revenue source - of course, we don't know what percentage of the retail price finds its way to us, maybe we can work that out when the original print run of 1000 runs out and they renew it. 

I find the "up to 1/8 area" confusing, for a poster.

I just had an image of a mural sell for "Consumer goods" "Retail Poster" "Print run: up to 1,000" and this particular image, as is pretty much ALL of my images are marked as "Editorial: Don't sell for consumer goods".

 

So I am confused. Does this mean the person bought the image just to make a poster for themselves? Or is it for a poster print run for resale?
