Constant Content

Hi there, I am new here, and the good news is that my first article which was approved only today got sold but the amount it was sold for was seventy dollars but in my account I have only a balance of forty five. How did this happen? if you take any commission from the sales, why was it not mentioned anywhere in the site???

Congrats on your first (and fast!) sale. CC does take a 35% commission. It's in the site's documentation and discussed in great depth throughout the boards here.

It's been a while since I signed up or browsed the guidelines/FAQs/site license etc so I can't say exactly where it's located. But it's there

I found it.
It's under "Terms & Conditions"
