Hi,

 

I just had one of my assets sold for 0,24 USD when everywhere I read the minimum royalty should be 0,33 USD, any idea why my royalty would be that low?

$0.24 is correct, if you did not fill out your tax form or if your country does not have a tax agreement with the US.

You shouldn't let them sell your asses for that price. You're getting a bum deal!

Adobe Stock is not selling assets for that price. That is the royalty, not the license cost.

The Royalty Rate is 33%, not 33 cents.

 

Your net will vary depending on which type of license was purchased (standard, enhanced or extended) and which type of plan the customer has.  See screenshot below.

That happens. What is the licence type? Custom? Subscription?

What license type - Subscription or Custom? A subscription royalties are shown here, but Custom plans, which Adobe negotiates with their largest customers, can be lower.

Are you able to share some more information about the custom licenses please?

I do not have any specific information about Customer subscriptions - just that Adobe enters into Custom subscriptions with clients for whom the standard subscriptions don't meet their needs.

Hello.

1. It may be a custom licence.
2. Does your country of residence have a tax treaty with the U.S.?
