I was just notified that a video I sold gave me earnings of $1.12.
A month or two ago the same video earned $19 and a little before that $20.
The selling price for the HD version is $50
What's going on with the earnings drop?
thanks ,
Jeff

Hi @jeffsarge. Yesterday many of you may received bulk payouts, which included some very low priced sales. The vast majority of these (including those referenced by folks here in forums), were related to low priced Adobe subscription sales that occurred over the last 4 months since their subscription launch in March. As you may know, we have now terminated our partnership with Adobe as of July 29th, and this was the final payout of those licenses issued by Adobe. Apologies for the disappointment this may have caused.

Ryan, I had a similar experience with a low price sale. Your explanation certainly isn't what I agreed to with Pond5. I set my prices, not Pond5. Why is Pond5 selling my material at a lower price. And by the way, why doesn't pond5 show the actual sales price.

Yes, I'm also wondering why as an exclusive artist, POND5 take it upon themselves to discount my videos at will. 65% of $5 is not what I signed up for... Or is it? ...Somewhere in the fine print perhaps?
