Question

free collection

They took 66 photos from my portfolio and added them to a free collection. But I only got $32.40. And I don't know if this collection is for a year or forever. Am I missing something?

    I got the same situation. They took 24 photos and They paid only $79.8.

    According to their email that we got is $4 each for one year collection. I would like to know what’s going on…...

    You receive up-front payment within 30 days of acceptance. 

    The Terms are whatever you selected when you nominated the assets.

    Where did you see the 66 photos selected? Did you look under “Collections” on top under the graph? You need to click on it twice. Mine is correct, I had 30 photos chosen for the free collection  out of 256 selected for consideration, (disappointed) and got $120 deposited a little while ago today.  

    Are you sure you’re not confusing selected from actually Chosen? Remember, one year usage is $4 lifetime $10 and the total amount would not have cents. (The $32.40 you see includes sales for this week)

    100% is a valid question for this forum… Why wouldn’t it be?

    @kglad is from another forum.  

    It’s a valid question when posts land in the wrong forum.
