And you know this because ???? If the company got paid $15 per shop but needed to get rush jobs done which they bonused they might well be paying you the $35 and eating the difference to get all locations done. And of course when they can find shoppers who will take the majority of the shops at the posted fee that gives them 'ammunition' to pay the bonuses on hard-to-fill locations and last minute shops due to flakes and substandard reports.
I noted a website a while ago where the potential clients were informed that there was a "set up fee" for the shops of $, a per shop fee of $, a shopper payment of $ and an editing fee of $. There then was a per photo fee of $. I don't know how prevalent this pricing structure is but I can assure you that the shopper fee and the per photo fee were about the same, which was grotesque.
