Anyone else get a whole bunch of refunds on Alamy yesterday?  I had a dozen or so.  All purchases under $10/each.  Could this be related to fraud, or do they just save up all the refunds and add them to our accounts at once? 

I  checked Alamy forums and didn't see any threads on the front page about it, so maybe it's just me. 

Anybody else? 

IT sounds like one of their special large volume clients has defaulted/gone under.

yep, me too, I had two small RF sale refunds yesterday

Please, can someone tell me how this can be possible???



Same image in one day, sold and refunded, but...

For my part it was a deception... a 250$ refund (150$ profit gone )

Unless this was also you who posted this:
"A while back there was a thread about some RF sales at $6.23. I too had a couple and discovered that they were being used by Yell.com for websites they built for buisinesses. Others responded that they had found thiers there also. My sales occured in July. A bad deal for us but probably good for alamy as they probably bought hundreds, if not thousands. Still, I signed up and accepted alamys T & C so you have to accept the good with the bad BUT today both sales showed up again (6 months later) in my net revenue/date of invoice at $4.49 and the $6.23 refunded.
I guess Yell feels that they paid to much at $6 and renegotiated at $4 !!!!!!!!
Any one else?

So this confirms leaf's post...

From actual topic on Alamy forum:
Just had a reply from customer services - the image involved sold last July but the wrong amount was charged ($6.23 instead of $4.49). So the activity the other day was to refund the $6.23 and re-bill at $4.49. So I haven't actually lost any money - I shouldn't have had that whole $1.74 in the first place!

Same here - just one though. Pretty small compared to bigger sales, but still sad to see.
