Pricing Lowered?

I hardly sell anything on here anymore, so I haven't paid too much attention to the site in a while. But I just noticed that every single one of my clips is priced at $39 when I view them, regardless of what I have the price set at. Have they defaulted every video clip to $39 and overridden contributor's own pricing? This is for 4K and HD and regardless of clip length. Also, the only clip I sold recently was in fact for $39, and I was only paid 40% of the sale instead of the 60% I am owed as an exclusive contributor. Not sure what is up with that. This site really has gone to sh*t.

That’s strange i checked my clips and they are at the price I put them in for, I had around 2500 images I removed the lot because I was receiving less than 25 cents for an image priced at 20 dollars plus, the stock industry is finished, and just relying on people not deleting their accounts, if I get low balled in a video I will close the account,try changing the prices and see what happens

About 2 days ago, I uploaded the first time in months (soundtracks) and set them to automatic pricing, yet they were priced at $15, even with cinematic quality. I am not sure what the problem is.

The industry is finished, it's just a hobby now but as for pricing, Pond5 is well known for "adjusting" your prices downwards, they make their real money off selling your content wholesale to their partners like the social media companies and now the Ai companies.
I bet after exchange rates are factored in they lose money on these one off clip sales. Try opening Pond5 and looking at your clips on various different browsers and on your phone, you might see a different price each time :)
