Technical error at Pixmac

Pixmac has discovered a technical error in tracking transactions in their internal system that affected one of theirr suppliers. Out of 9.753 transactions during 14 months there were 58 transactions not reported to the supplier. Total value of  transactions is $283.60.

The error technically happened when the customer purchased a previously downloaded image. Only single image purchase was affected. Downloads by customers using prepaid credits were not affected by this error.

The error was fixed immediately after its discovery, so everything should be fine now.

changes and improvements at Pixmac

In the microstock marketplace there are some old customs that are going to change at Pixmac. One of those is exclusivity. Exclusivity doesn’t work long term. Starting today, Pixmac removes exclusivity restrictions for its contributors.

Inspired by Robert Kneschke, Pixmac has decided to guarantee 30% revenue and at least $0.25 (it was $0.10) per sale, forever. And after the first $200 made on revenue it’s raised to 40%. They are also raising the Extended License pricing from the flat $30 to $40-$120.
