Don't really know what your'e trying to say here. I am selling my photos ... through global image libraries, but Adobe/Fotolio are the only ones I get such poor returns. So I'm not wasting my time uploading to Adobe when I could be uploading more to my other libraries that offer better returns and are fair. When they sort the problem out, I will continue to upload. I can't go on to amazon and tell them I only want to pay half the price for an item because I live in South Africa and I want them to work out my exchange rate at R7.50 to the dollar instead of the actual rate of R15 to the dollar. No, I still have to pay R15 to the dollar. The mistake Fotolia made was using credits instead of dollars as I think South Africans probably also only pay R7.50 for their credits when buying photos. It all just makes no sense. But I'm not concerned with that as I am a seller and I want to earn what I should be earning and what everyone else is earning. I don't understand how they manage to work it out. So if a South African buys your image, they are paying less for it, but you are still getting your 1 dollar to 1 credit. Makes no sense. Think about it: A South African buys a photo at 2 credits .. this equals R15 according to their calculations. But in real money terms, it should be equal to R30. So Adobe is only getting R15. Yes if a US person bought same photo, they would be paying $2 = R30 in real money. So adobe gets equivalent of R30. So they screwing themselves as much as they are screwing their SA contributors. They should just set images at $ rates and pay us in $ the way other libraries do. Everyone pays the same, everyone earns the same. We withdraw the dollars from PayPal and the conversion is based on the current exchange rate.
