Why Did I Earn a Different Amount for my Resource?


A common question that comes up frequently is

Why did I earn a different amount for my resource than I usually do?

This happens often and there are different reasons that this could happen. Here are some of the reasons for the price difference.

✮ You earned less than your regular earnings after commission. You are a premium seller, your resource is less than $3, and the buyer only purchased your resource. In this case, you are charged a 15 cent transaction fee because the buyer's cart total was less than $3.

✮ You earned less than the price but it had nothing to do with cart being less than $3. The buyer could have purchased an additional license. The default for an additional license is 10% off the price. There could still be a transaction fee applied if the cart was less than $3.

✮ You earned less the sale price of an item but your store is not on sale. If you recently had a sale, it could be that the item(s) was purchased during the sale with a Purchase Order and it's just now being finalized. Sometimes they take a while.

✮ You earned more than the price of the resource. It also says TL on my Sales Report. In this case, a school purchased a Transferable License which is 40% more than the price of your resource.

✮ You earned more than the price of the resource. Did you look to see how many of the item you sold? This could be a sale for 1 at regular price and at least 1 additional license or several additional licenses.
