Own priced photos sold by Pond5 for much less money

Hello,

I just sold a picture of ABBA. I have set the price for this picture at 30 euro (small, medium and big same price). However I only received 0,26 dollar. How is this possible? Is this correct? Otherwise I don't think it's worth selling anymore on this site

Pond5 does this, welcome to the scam.

Considering the image is album covers of Abba that are not your images, then that is actually too much

@NieuwsMarkt, it indeed looks like that. They promise you 30%, but now I just received 1%.

@DavidHornchurch, what does that has to do with this issue?

@Loveforphotography, oh yeah, it's very common here, sometimes your content will sell at the price you list it for, other times for a dollar or two and if it's in some other country they will lower your prices to their levels and you'll make next to nothing.....your content is on their servers, they do what they want with it and laugh at you as you protest.

@NieuwsMarkt, thanks for the information. It indeed seemed to be a Global Market Earning. They said, Think of it as, "What is better: $0 dollars, or a smaller sale from a country that you normally wouldn't be able to offer to?"
Unfortunately no mutual respect.

Your post highlighted you are selling copyrighted images as your own, and trying to make money on them, the law is very clear on this
