Hey,
Just wanted to check something. I know the prices have gone up for authors but on my my sales statements I’ve noticed I’m not getting the exact list price for the item. For e.g $19 items are being sold for $15.20 before the commission fee. Have the new prices not taken effect yet?
Hi,
The statement page is always a little bit confusing, the price you are seeing (15,20) includes a 20% buyer fee, above the 15,20 you will see a price with a minus, this is your author fee. The author fee depends on how much you’ve sold on the envato market.
Hope this will clear some things up
Hey,
well that’s what I thought, but I’m still slightly confused. Shouldn’t the buy fee for a $19 item show as $19? Not $15.20? Even on the invoice it’s listed as $15.20 and not $19.
There’s a similar thing happening with other items too, It appears to be using the old prices still when customers buy something and not the new prices.
List price is $19. That means buyers pay $19. Those $19 include the item price ($15.20) and buyer’s fee ($4.80). So $15.20 is what you ‘get’ and what will appear in your invoices. You then have to ‘pay’ Envato the Author fee and you’re left with $9.50 (if you’re at 50% level).
Hope it clears things up
this is correct, I also confused me, but the reason for the values that you see in the list is only for issues of envato billing (envato method of legal billing)
My author fee has changed from 5.70$ last week till 5.51 this week. Anyone know what could be the reason for this?
For me the item priced 18$ showed as 14.40 on the statement and now that the item price is 19$ it is showed as 15.20 on the statement. If you check your earnings tab you will probably see new earnings as 9.50 and the earning before the price change as 9$ (if you’re exclusive).
You probably made $3500 and are now at 51% commission. Congrats
Thanks, thats probably it! Time to quit my day job
Right, got it. Makes sense now!
